AND THEY DON'T SPEAK FRENCH EITHER – AT 10:04 A.M. ET:   Knowledge is such a wonderful thing.  We've struggled to find the explanation for all the anger out there, and the massive shift in the GOP's direction.  We needn't have struggled.  John Kerry has the explanation.  We are relieved.  From the Boston Herald:

A testy U.S. Sen. John F. Kerry yesterday blamed clueless voters with short attention spans for the uphill battle beleaguered Democrats are facing against Republicans across the nation.

“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening,” Kerry told reporters after touring the Boston Medical Center yesterday.

You know, I really knew it all along.  It's the voters' fault.  Why do we still insist on giving these people a ballot? 

Conservative political blogger William Jacobson, who writes Legal Insurrection, immediately pounced on Kerry’s comments, saying that attitude is why voters are looking to shake up Capitol Hill by electing upstart candidates such as U.S. Sen. Scott Brown.

“It just continues the Democrats’ theme that the reason people are upset is because they don’t understand. They’re not smart enough. That sort of rhetoric just gets people even more upset,” said Jacobson.

COMMENT:  This man Kerry was one state shy of being elected president in 2004. 

Oh, by the way, I wonder if Kerry believes the voters were also stupid in 2008, when they elected Obama, and a Democratic House and Senate.  It must be a recent problem.

Yuch.
