Christopher Hitchens, a man I hate to love, writes a damn fine op-ed about Howard Dean....

... and ends it with a sentence that I hope Dems will keep in mind throughout the end of the primary season.

This is not a time when the United States can afford even to flirt with the idea of an insecure narcissist and vain windbag as president.

An apt warning about a candidate like Howard Dean. But what about John Kerry? His sincerity is not in doubt, but I'm not so sure about the rest....
