John Kerry Puts Together His Team

Word is John Kerry is putting his team together (don't laugh, actually do) for his 2008 presidential run. Kerry has hired Erik Smith as a senior adviser. Kerry has also hired former reporter Vince Morris as his communications director. This will have conservatives screaming media bias, but I still find it funny. Besides, you guys have Fox News and talk radio locked up.

A few minutes earlier, Karl Rove had tried to float the notion that "It was one of the president's better debate performances and one of Kerry's worst." But, in sharp contrast to other occasions, he couldn’t make it fly. As Lizza noted “Vince Morris of The New York Post stares at Rove and asks, "Can you say that with a straight face?"

Heh.
