More on Kelly...not by me.
I said last week that I would pass on writing anymore about the late Michael Kelly, but old friend Will emailed me this and I thought I would pass it on as a contrast to all the Saint Mike columns flooding the media.
Is it too late to get one more word in on Michael Kelly? Here's what he wrote in the Washington Post last September, about Al Gore's speech to the Commonwealth Club in San Francisco, at which Gore dared challenge the wisdom of former Governor Bush's Iraq policy:
“It distinguished Gore, now and forever, as someone who cannot be considered a responsible aspirant to power. Politics are allowed in politics, but there are limits, and there is a pale, and Gore has now shown himself to be ignorant of those limits, and he has now placed himself beyond that pale.
“Gore's speech was one no decent politician could have delivered. It was dishonest, cheap, low. It was hollow. It was bereft of policy, of solutions, of constructive ideas, very nearly of facts -- bereft of anything other than taunts and jibes and embarrassingly obvious lies. It was breathtakingly hypocritical, a naked political assault delivered in tones of moral condescension from a man pretending to be superior to mere politics. It was wretched. It was vile. It was contemptible. But I understate.”
Look Who's Playing Politics
What irony (not that Kelly would appreciate it) that if Gore were President, Kelly would probably still be alive. Still wretched, vile, and contemptible, but alive.
