Did I mention the furrowed brow?

Mickey Kaus is still stalking Kerry

They called kf irresponsible for pointing out Sen. John Kerry's gross characterological deficiencies before Kerry had a chance to display them on the campaign trail.

Here's Mickey not being irresponsible.

What is it that makes so many people, myself included, intensely dislike Sen. John Kerry? This is the great mystery surrounding his 2004 presidential campaign. I don't think "aloof and arrogant," the traditional Kerry negatives, are exactly it -- he may be aloof and arrogant, but there are plenty of aloof and arrogant people I don't rule out instantly due to their gross characterological deficiency, which is what I do with Kerry. It's not just his "long record of opportunism," though again that's part of it. ... I say we harness the power of the Web to solve the mystery! A copy of Kerry's undoubtedly riveting book, The New War, to the kf reader (or non-kf reader) who most precisely describes the root of Kerry's loathsomeness. ...(References to descriptions of Kerry by others may also qualify for the prize .) ... My own attempt: I think it starts with the phony furrowed brow. Perpetually furrowed and perpetually phony. It's been furrowed for so long I doubt he could unfurrow it now even if his advisers convinced him that would be a good tack to take!

Now I will cut Mickey some slack when it comes to furrowed brows, since Mickey is a bit of a brow expert himself, with so much brow, in fact, that his hairline starts at the back of his head. But let's face it, Mickey finds Kerrey "loathsome" and has so stated. Now he has to make a political case to cover for his "hair" envy. My guess is that there is another kind of envy involved here too, but who wants to go there?
