Interesting article on Kerry in the Atlantic [View all]

(long, so I will not excerpt it. It would be a ludicrous task.

The usual format of these articles on Kerry from reporters who discover that Kerry exists. A lot of silly statements that people underestimate him (I wish David Rhodes had visited the numerous articles written on this topic by people who decide to look at Kerry after having ignored him jut to discover that he is somebody impressive, but he did not bother, so the beginning of the article is about the conventional wisdom)

This said, I think that the fact the media and some politicians (including on our side) underestimate him so much may help him in his works. He does not have to worry losing his reputation with these idiots. He can only do better.
