Kerry won't run for president in '08.

Actually, that's not bad news for the Republic, but it is bad news for those of us who loved to rip into the bloviating botoxed bipolar bhraman from Boston.

Not that the remaining list of likely candidates isn't still a target-rich environment: With Biden, Gore, and Edwards on the left, and Hagel, Pataki, and Gingrich on the right, there's more than enough pomposity in various shades of vacuity waiting to be skewered.

(I have to admit to a soft spot for Gingrich. He's obviously a smart man; but if it was simply "smart" that counted, Nixon and Clinton would go down in history as great Presidents....)

Godspeed, Mr. Kerry. Look on the bright side; you might actually have won the last election if you hadn't decided to run on your schizophrenic Vietnam record. As is, you're just a footnote instead of a cautionary tale.
