Just another game of Three Dimensional Chess for The Man. [View all]

He never ceases to amaze me. I was watching Rachel Friday night when it hit me just what he was doing. He wanted diplomacy the whole time...he just knew if he went with it, the Repugs would howl. Their knee jerk reaction has always been to disagree with whatever it was he wanted. So rattle some sabers, and they demand to be involved in the decision. OK, here, you guys decide. From that point on, it was drop mike, walk off stage. And I don't believe for a second that John Kerry's comments weren't WELL thought out.

And, of course, great address. Watching the commentary now. Andrea Mitchell always seems to find something to bitch about, doesn't she?
