WaPo endorses Kerry for President, coyly

Surprise, surprise, I hear you say, washingtonpost endorses Kerry? Actually, they sound like they are struggling to pull the bloody endorsement out of a rock, painful stuff. They start off:

"EXPERTS TELL US (sic) that most voters have had no difficulty making up their minds in this year's presidential election. Half the nation is passionately for George W. Bush, the pollsters say, and half passionately for John F. Kerry -- or, at least, passionately against Mr. Bush. We have not been able to share in this passion, nor in the certainty"

They then do a SWOT-type analysis of both candidates, not sparing Kerry of their "consistancy" concerns . They don't lambast Bush for going to war; it's more a cool, calculated reflection, I reckon, tempered by the fact that the publication itsef supported this godforsaken war. They are more critical of Bush's domestic policies though, especially his Fiscal Policy. Those eminent business school professors' open letter must have helped. Overall this may be a smart thing... an overly enthusiastic endorsement isn't going change any bloody undecided's mind (whoever these people are).

But, this coy endorsement, seems to say, " We kinda found Prince Charming mostly charming, but unfortunately he fires blanks; and we fear he has instead turned into a tadpole. Kerry while not juicing-up our pussies entirely, is a sober candidate, therefore better marriage material. " So, if we must choose a spermanator as it were, we must acquiesce to him." While, this is not, "Ravage me now, you beast," it too will do.

PS. Ayi, the idea of Kerry ravaging anybody is unsettling. His stepsons though, that Andre Heinz especially, could do a mighty fine ravaging job, you'd suspect. hehe.
