The Next Front

The New York Times posts an item suggesting the front that President Hissy Fit and his advisors are likely to hit hardest in the coming weeks: The image of Kerry as a pampered, aloof Boston Brahmin, "cursed with . . . good taste" and sufficiently nervy to hang Dutch and Flemish still lifes "on the walls of [his] Boston and Washington town houses" -- versus Bush as the Real American who "likes to clear brush and go bass fishing in his spare time, a man whose indulgences are barbecue and nonalcoholic beer." Not a new tack, certainly, but one you can bet the Bushites will hit repeatedly as the more substantive rationales for voting for Bush continue to evaporate.

Sheesh.
