...stern reply that Kerry suffered from "a fundamental and dangerous misunderstanding of the enemy we face." Kerry even faulted Bush's reaction in 2001 upon learning of the 9/11 attacks--the scene that everyone who has seen Fahrenheit 9/11 will remember as seven excruciating minutes of reading The Pet Goat with a classroom of Florida schoolchildren.

The President's insistence on patting his golden retriever...
