Apparently, a comment made by Kevin T. Keith on another site has been excerpted by The American Conservative. Perhaps not precisely the fame he’s looking for, but what the hey? Joe’s angle?

There’s some truth to this: So much energy has been spent on the Fear of Bush, concluding how bad things will be if he’s elected. But here’s the thing. The damage is done. If Kerry repeals the tax cut for the wealthiest, they’ll still walk away with a hunnerd thou or more each. The profiteering [...]
