Tomorrow's News Today
At 8:40 PM Tuesday night, I asked readers of National Review Online's "The Corner" if it was Tower of Babel Tuesday? By 10:35 PM, those of us watching Teresa Heinz Kerry giving her convention remarks in all five languages she speaks had our answer.
Some folks can know a lot more about something than most of us, yet convey a sense of "you can do this, too." That the mark of a good teacher or a role model. Other folks use their superior knowledge to convey a different message: "you don't understand what I'm saying, do you, peasant?"
Methinks Lady Teresa holds a mighty high opinion of herself. That can be a problem with voters. Another Massachusetts candidate, Eliot Richardson learned that lesson when his opponent paid for a fake edition of the Boston Globe bearing the headline: "Vote for Eliot. He's better than you are."
