The Making of the President
In his diary on National Review Online, David Frum writes:
Mark Shields on PBS makes a shrewd point: John Kerry did not have to give Al Sharpton this speaking slot. Unlike Jesse Jackson in 1988, who may have been deplorable but who arrived in Atlanta with a large bloc of delegates, Sharpton won nothing. He could have been dismissed. He wasn’t. Why We’ve been hearing about how supposedly tough John Kerry is. Why couldn’t he say “no” to Al Sharpton?
Heck, Kerry doesn't know how to deal
with NASA, let alone
Sharpton (let alone al Qaida).
