THE ROBERT W. WHITAKER ARCHIVE

BUSH SHOULD THANK EUROPE | 2004-11-06

If Americans were whooping and stomping for a French president to be thrown out of office, he would win by a landslide. But no one has even mentioned the fact that our media was constantly full of European attacks on Bush, European polls where everybody over there said they wanted Kerry, and American celebrities being cheered when they insulted Bush.

To make matters worse, Kerry kept talking about appealing to "our allies" and everybody knew he meant France and Germany. Then Kerry talked about how America needed to pass a "world test" to go to war.

It's a wonder Kerry didn't get beaten worse.
