The headline to me is hilarious. High level Kerry staffers overheard plotting in Iowa hotel. So? Don\u2019t campaign people plot things? Apparently, what they\u2019re doing here is trying to figure out how they can out-Dean Dean. That\u2019s been Kerry\u2019s problem all along. If this was the result of their strategy session it was a failure, because the Kerry strategy all along has been, “What is Dean saying? We have to agree with it. Only we\u2019re going to try and go a little farther.” <\/line>The staffers at the hotel bar in Des Moines talked about doing an ad where they would contrast Kerry\u2019s anti-war activism with Dean as a draft-dodging ski bum. Over the weekend Howard Dean admitted that he did have some sort of an injury that got him out of the war. He didn\u2019t want to go to Vietnam, and this injury might have been overplayed because he was out skiing after failing his military physical. The Kerry staffers also talked about the possibility of doing a documentary on the campaign, like the one Spike Jonze did with Gore. Look at the role models here! They\u2019re going after a bunch of losers. Dean\u2019s never won anything that matters other than Vermont (Sorry Vermont, but you have to be real.) And Gore lost. Gore is in such bad shape he\u2019s making fun of himself about how rotten his life has been since this election. <\/line>According to Drudge, “The advisors carelessly talked about how thick Kerry\u2019s accent used to be. ‘Kerry did the thick accent when cameras were around to sound like JFK,\u2019 laughed one senior staffer.” And Drudge says that, “in the spirit of the holiday season,” he\u2019ll not reveal the name of those in attendance. It could not have been any housekeeper, my friends, because this story appears to be true.<\/line><\/p>\n
