...became a correspondent on The Daily Show, the work poured in. First he was a supporting player in Julia Louis-Dreyfus' short-lived sitcom Watching Ellie, then he was upstaging Jim Carrey as the guy who spoke in tongues in Bruce Almighty and Ferrell as the weatherman in Anchorman. On March 24, he will play the lead in NBC's remake of the beloved BBC sitcom The Office. There's also a Woody Allen movie, a Nicole Kidman movie and Virgin, which he co-wrote. And he has been cast as the lead in a film version of Get Smart...

First, is he a latter-day Ron Burgundy--the idiot 1970s anchorman of Will Ferrell's recent film who would read anything that appeared on his TelePrompTer? Did Kerry not remember what he had said to Stephanopoulos? No, it was, apparently, yet another Kerry nanonuance: he is in favor of redeployments, just not now. The second question is far more dire: Why is Kerry wasting breath on such periphera? Why isn't he hammering Bush on his conduct of the Iraq war and the larger war against Islamist radicalism, which...
