Kerry Kuddles Kos Kids

Here's an interesting snippet of news. Warrior, genius, and U.S. Senator John Heinz Kerry, who spurned the Kos Kids during the 2004 election season, is now singing a different tune. He's become a Kos "diarist." Power Line reports the explanation of a Kerry spokesperson:

"Senator Kerry likes the debate and the passionate voices in the blogosphere who are determined to cut through the Washington spin and conventional wisdom."

Power Line's rejoinder:

Translation: I'm damaged goods and can only be nominated as an insurgent. These kids may be an embarrassment but they can lend me credibility as an insurgent. And their ideology isn't much different than mine.

Heh.
