Kerry Won't Politick for a Week
Of course, he hopes Bush won't either. Can't have an incumbent pres remind the country of the greatness of another Republican pres.

If Bush says not one word the public can't help be reminded of a president who was reviled as stupid, scorned by the Euros and nose-in-the-air Americans who think they don't belong in the same country with the ordinary Joes that make this country work. We all know now the tone history is liable to take about Reagan as the enormity of his accomplishments sinks in.
Remember Bedtime for Bonzo? Reagan was always compared unfavorably to the chimp, much as W's face is made to be chimp-like in various cruel satires. Who was the first US president to be villified as ape-like, compared to a baboon? Lincoln. Great company, Lincoln, Reagan, Bush: stupid common-folk, like unto apes.
