Charles Pierce: Kerry should look to Bill Belichick
It has not been a good month for John Kerry, now that the full wrath of the Avignon presidency has landed upon him. He has been accused of not bleeding enough to earn his first medal, and of inconsistency in the way he treated his subsequent medals.

As you may recall, back in 1971, Kerry threw some medals over a fence in Washington, D.C. Of course, at roughly the same time, George W. Bush was throwing up over a fence in (perhaps) Alabama. I don't think the hurling issue redounds to the credit of the White House, but what do I know? I thought that having someone who talks to a famous reporter about his conversations with his "higher father" while standing a few feet from some very important buttons would scare the everlasting bejesus out of people, pardon the expression....
There's only one man, only one true leader, who's fit for the kind of battle in which Kerry has found himself.

His name is Belichick. Bill Belichick.

Quite simply, we here in Massachusetts believe in Bill, who has led us out of the wilderness and through two Super Bowls. We believe in Bill with a constant faith that makes Tim LaHaye read like Jacqueline Susann. Our devotion is whole. It is complete. In Bill we trust.

Consider what he's done. In Cleveland, he was run out of town under a hail of derision. Now, in a conversion not dissimilar to that wrought by Laura and Jesus in a certain former Yale party animal, Bill stands astride his world. He excels at turning defense into offense, in using an opponent's primary weapons against it. A man who can blunt the St. Louis Rams, tie up Steve McNair, and turn Peyton Manning into a liability would have no problem making hay out of the public yapping of Karen Hughes, the dark designs of Karl Rove, and the efforts of the Crisco Kid, John Ashcroft, to keep our nation secure from the assault of marble mammaries.

1. Bellicheck went to Andover Prep
with all those clowns - Scooter Libby, Jeb Bush, Bremer etc. He should not be trusted without verifying Dem. credibility.
