Who else is sick of this word from the Kerry-Edwards campaign? David Brooks, token Conservative boy nonpareil at the NYTimes:
"I know John Kerry shares my values. I know that John Kerry shares your values. I know that John Kerry shares John Edwards' values, who also, by the way, shares my values. I know they both share your accountant's values, your butcher's values, your mechanic's values. If a Martian showed up from outer space, they'd share its values, too.They're just really into value sharing.
I know that because they say so. In speeches, in rapid responses, in interviews. Kerry and Edwards remind us these days how darn tootin' chock full of values they really are. They've got heartland values, middle-class values and even conservative values, according to themselves. They are to values what Donald Trump is to gilt: they've got it; you're gonna see it. Of course, if Kerry really shared our values, he probably wouldn't have to tell us so every minute, and once, just once, he might actually say what the values we share actually are." -- New York Times columnist David Brooks.
