MEMO TO THE NEW YORK TIMES: This comparison won’t help Kerry:

Mr. Bush slouched and stayed coiled tight, but Mr. Kerry seemed at times to be waltzing with his partner, the lectern. Mr. Kerry moved his hands almost continuously, at one point folding them over his heart like a French mime as he explained that he felt “nothing but respect” for Tony Blair and British soldiers serving in Iraq.

(Via the vigilant SoxBlog, where many things were noticed: “If Ed Gillespie called Kerry a French mime, John Edwards would sue him.”)
