From a reader:

My local NPR affiliate, KUT features a weeknight drive-time line-up of “All
Things Considered,” “Marketplace,” and “The World.” I heard something last
Friday (3/5, but which program I’m not sure) that just stopped me dead in my
tracks. I’ve tried mightily to find it archived on the web, but to no
avail. If you heard it too, maybe your legions of crack NRO researchers
will have better luck digging up this gem.
The program featured interviews from some sort of rally for Kerry. On being
asked why she supported Kerry, a female respondent noted that she was
“scared” of the Bush administration and supported Kerry because he won’t be
“afraid” to “get on his knees” and go back to the U.N. and “say that we’re
sorry, we’ve made some mistakes.”
I kid you not. The words “on his knees” actually came out of her mouth, and
this was the reason she supported Kerry. Of course, this is not necessarily
Kerry’s policy. But nonetheless, you’ve got to wonder about Kerry and his
supporters: Kerry for giving them the impresison that this is what he’d do,
and his supporterrs for thinking this is a reason to vote FOR the guy.
All I could think was, “Yep. You’ve got the right candidate, darlin’.”
