Surprise.

Kerry really lights into McCain in a way that B. Clinton did not (Clinton did the usual spiel about how McCain is patriotic loves America et al--okay so maybe for diplomacy's sake, you can't actually come out and call him a fucking asshole, but he IS one, and there's really no need to lay on the fake praise so thick), and he's being pretty badass in general. Pretty great; regardless of charisma, I'm remembering why I liked that guy in 2004.
