Several weeks ago, Tony Blankley wrote a fascinating, partly satirical column paralleling John Kerry's Cambodian fantasy with the assassin's (Martin Sheen) upriver journey in the movie Apocalypse Now (freely stolen from Joseph Conrad's novel Heart of Darkness). The scary part of the story was that Kerry had been quoted years ago in the Boston Globe as comparing his alleged Cambodian upriver trip with what had been depicted in the movie. While many scoffed at Blankley's comparisons, many of us did not--because the parallels were so similar.

Today's New York Times carries a story by Robert F. Worth entitled "Wealth of others helped to shape Kerry's life." In that article, the following paragraph appears:

"It is on the water, Mr. Kerry's friends and relatives all say, that he is most at ease. Seven or eight years ago, Mr. Sanders recalled, Mr. Kerry invited him to Cape Cod, where the two men got into Mr. Kerry's boat to ride out to Nantucket. As the boat reached open water, Mr. Kerry took the throttle up to full speed. Flicking on the boat's stereo system, he shouted, 'Check it out!' and a broad grin lit up his face. The music blasting from the speakers was Wagner's 'The Ride of the Valkyries,' the same sequence played by Robert Duvall's character in the Vietnam movie 'Apocalypse Now'."

Oh! how I love the smell of mental instability in a presidential campaign.
