Many readers think it just further proves Kerry is an odd one that he used the SAT construct as part of his self-deprecating joke. One reader says: “Re your bit from USA Today yesterday evening: If he had been a red stater,

he probably would have said that it reminded him of the Sesame Street bit,

’Which of these things is not like the other one?’ Only a blue-stater (I

think) would have first thought of the SAT.” Or maybe it depends how old your kids are? It’s been awhile since Alex and Vanessa watched Sesame Street.
