I received a tidal wave of e-mails (well, five or six anyway) on the vitally important topic of Kerry’s shirts, cufflinks and all round limousine liberal status. There were conspiracy theorists who noticed that cufflinks imply French cuffs, and then there were admirers of Mrs. Kerry:
“Kerry and Dean are both bluebloods, but at least Kerry’s wife sneers openly at people who
can’t speak French. After Clinton and Edwards and Dean, there’s something refreshing about that.”
But the definitive word on this matter comes from a reader in Dayton, Ohio:
“Maybe Kerry would throw his cufflinks over the White House fence in solidarity with those of us who shop at Wal-Mart.”
