A SENSITIVE WAR ON TERROR: Dick Cheney blasted John Kerry for wanting American foreign policy to be more "sensitive". To say the least, Cheney's attack was hypocritical, not to mention dumb.

Yet as I said before, Kerry should've thought twice before slipping into Dukakis mode. Cheney's attack made headlines because Republicans attacking Democrats for being soft on Communism/terrorism/crime/etc. is part of America's unofficial partisan narrative.

If the journalists were smarter, they would've run some Google searches on "Bush+Cheney+Rumsfeld+sensitive" before going to press with their articles about Cheney's attacks. Of course, Kerry's speechwriters could've done the same thing.
