John Kerry, our 2004 nominee, tore into John McCain tonight in his convention speech. He left no stone un-turned, he left as he pilloried John McCain with the “strongest language yet uttered from the convention podium.”
Seth Colter Walls notes on the HuffPo:
Kerry describes McCain as “insulting” and “desperate’ for questioning Obama’s patriotism, and “pathetic” for [...]

Forget any thing you ever hear from Mark Halprin. These overwhelmingly stupid remarks stunned even his fellow panelists. His premise? That the McCain house flap will rebound on Barack Obama and create serious damage. Please watch. [H/t to TPM for the original catch and Dkos for posting it on the front page.]
