Shadow President Kerry continues to position himself as Righ Honourable Leader of His Majesty's Loyal Opposition.
But that's not what drew me to the story. Check out MSNBC's spin:
Former Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry, who lost decisively to President Bush in an election focused on national security, said Tuesday the country would be “far better off” with his proposals for Iraq and the military.
Ahem. Lost decisively? They seem to be buying into the "mandate" revisionism. Bush 41 "lost decisively." Walter Mondale "lost decisively." John Kerry, for all his flaws, came within a few ten thousand votes of knocking off a wartime president, and won the second most popular votes in history. That ain't "lost decisively."
