Damning with Faint Praise be Damned!

If (like me) you weren't a supporter of Kerry during the primaries, and if (like me) you've had the occasional wince at his lack of charisma on the campaign trail, but have nevertheless (like me) been slowing growing in your appreciation of Kerry as a man of character (charisma or no), then you should really go check out this post. Bérubé gives a great response to those folks who have been absolutely mealy-mouthed in their support, and who will be a real annoyance during the new administration.
