Kaus Takes Journey of Self-Discovery; Finds Vast Wasteland

The diminuitive cheap-shot artist, Mickey Kaus, has again taken up substance-free bashing of Democratic presidential hopeful, John Kerry. Kaus -- who is already on record as finding Kerry "loathsome" -- smirks:

John Kerry's current campaign isn't just a run for the White House. It's "a voyage of self-discovery"!

Of course, the quote isn't from Kerry himself, it's from a Boston Globe article about Kerry. Nothing in the article even remotely suggests that Kerry is running for President to "discover himself." To the contrary, the article states that Kerry has been searching for information about his grandfather for years.

Kaus doesn't explain why Kerry's interest in his family history is a bad thing, he just assumes it's a character flaw. But for Little Mick, any self-knowledge is a dangerous thing.

UPDATE: James Capozzola says it better.
