What it really says

Andrew Sullivan has a good reaction to the Kerry silliness:

I know it's politics. I'm not naive. But it's also revealing about someone's character that he could authorize and exploit such a thing. Most fair-minded people will have to concede that, in retrospect, this was a very, very, very low blow. It hadn't sunk in for me till last night how low. In retrospect, this incident says much more about Bush than about Kerry.

I would also add, that the incident is very revealing of the US media, how it operates, and its relation to the current powers that be.
