Deja Vu

Let's see, in 1988 Michael Dukakis, then the governor of Massachusetts, ran for president as the nominee of the Democratic Party. He got soundly thrashed by George H. W. Bush. Now, John Kerry, the lieutenant governor of Massachusetts under Michael Dukakis until he was elected to the Senate in 1985, wants to run for president as the nominee of the Democratic Party against George W. Bush.

Well, Karl Marx was right about at least one thing: History repeats itself, first as tragedy, second as farce.
