Earl's Pearls

John Kerry's campaign dopes were eavesdropped on while plotting strategy in an Iowa bar.

Several thoughts come to mind here. First, do you want a president who's senior advisors are conducting business in earshot of others? You wouldn't hire a lawyer who did that or a doctor.

As far as the strategy maybe instead of proposing Kerry ride on motorcyles, he could um ya know, maybe have a reason to vote for him.

Having been all over the map on his views on Iraq perhaps to paraphrase James Carville "it's the coherency thing"
