A shutout

After three debates the score is three-Zip, Kerry. The leaves are beginning to change color here and you can’t even get your job approval rating over 50 percent. With all due respect, Mr. President, it’s time for your personnel review.

Seymour Hersch, he of impeccable credentials as the country’s premier investigative reporter (when will the others rediscover that all reporting is investigative?). From an article about a speech he delivered to Berkeley J-school grad students after the second debate:

"’It doesn't matter that Bush scares the hell out of me . . . What matters is that he scares the hell out of a lot of very important people in Washington who can't speak out, in the military, in the intelligence community. They know in ways that none of us know, the incredible gap between what is and what [Bush] thinks.’

“With that, he was off and running. One could safely say that for the next hour, Hersh proceeded to scare the hell out of most of the audience by detailing the gaps between what they knew and what he hears is actually going on in Iraq.”
