HAIR TODAY, INVENTING THE INTERNET TOMORROW

Boy, that Al Gore is terrible. That man would do anything to advance his political career, he is obsessed with becoming president, and he's the biggest fake populist of all time.

Oops, did I say Al Gore? I meant John Kerry.

As Josh Marshall put it yesterday, "The Washington press corps doesn't much like John Kerry. And, as we learned with Al Gore, that's important."

How important? Just 24 hours after he announced his candidacy, the smear-campaign against Kerry has already seen its opening bell, thanks to an immature little Drudge piece about Kerry's haircuts. (not the first time the VRWC has gone down the haircut avenue, mind you.)

You just know that this is gonna find its way into some of them cable news programs. Who first, O'Reilly? Matthews? My money's on Brit Hume's whorefest (Hume: "disgusting" . . . Barnes: "reprehensible" . . . Sammon:"Kerry is a career-obsessed pathological liar, uncomfortable in his own skin" . . . Williams: (silence) ).

The followup question is, of course, which journalist is, for a measure of fairness, going to ask Trent Lott how much he spends on hairspray. How bout that "librul media"!

Mister Kerry, prepare to be Gored.

This time, America, please pay attention.
