King Him

Is it just me, or does the whole Kerry “hamster CPR” episode have a Nixonian “Checkers speech” feel to it?
I didn’t actually see/hear Alexandra Kerry telling the hamster CPR story, but it strikes me as one of those things politicians do (or that they have done on their behalf) in an attempt to humanize themselves.
Here’s a hint for Kerry: don’t act human; don’t send the kid out to tell us you’re human; just be human.
George W. Bush doesn’t need that sort of story told about him — we know he’s genuine.
