Mark Steyn

Mar. 2 - Mark Steyn examines Kerry and nuances, about which he says Kerry has got nuances coming out of his nuances:

... As the New York Times put it in its endorsement of the Senator: "What his critics see as an inability to take strong, clear positions seems to us to reflect his appreciation that life is not simple. He understands the nuances."

That may be the most lethal endorsement since Al Gore leapt on the Howard Dean bandwagon and sent it careering into the ravine. Just for the record, Kerry can take strong, clear positions. It's just that he tends to take both of them.

Oh well, Kerry can always stand on his record. He voted against the Defense of Marriage Act under Clinton, but is against gay marriage. He voted against Gulf War I, but was for it. He voted for Gulf War II, but was against it. He has voted against military appropriations but supports the troops.

Now that Edwards has dropped out of the race, Kerry says he is ready to take on President Bush. If he approaches the campaign with much more nuance, though, we may be excused for deciding that his campaign planks are NUBAR - nuanced beyond all recognition.
