An interesting correlation

Mickey Kaus says what I was thinking:

During Kerry’s last week of public campaigning, his numbers sank. After a few days holed up in Ketchum, Idaho, with the Clarke anti-Bush allegations getting huge play, he’s back up. … Kerry’s future campaign strategy seems clear: Stay on vacation until November! Let the media do his work for him. The less people see him the better he looks.

[But that contradicts Noam Chomsky’s thesis that the media has been bought and paid for by Bush!–ed. You did that just to link to Chomsky’s new blog, didn’t you? Er, yes – but his permalinks don’t seem to work–ed.] CLARIFICATION: Commenters on this post seem to think that I think this is more than a coincidence. I don’t — and I’m assuming Mickey’s tongue is mostly in his cheek as well.
