Kerry adds spokesmen to team

Two Spinners Whirl Back

Two familiar faces in the world of political spin and media combat are returning to Washington, courtesy of Kerry. Howard Wolfson, an aggressive campaign spokesman for Hillary Rodham Clinton's 2000 Senate run in New York, is moving here to join the Kerry communications team, spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said.

Coming from even farther away is former State Department spokesman James P. Rubin, himself a man of Austin Powers-like mystique, arriving soon from London for six months in Washington. Rubin, who is married to CNN star correspondent Christiane Amanpour, will live here through the fall as a foreign policy adviser and public surrogate for Kerry. Kerry, however, was not Rubin's first choice for president; he advised Wesley K. Clark until the retired Army general's campaign ended.

I've been hoping for Jamie Rubin to come in. He's terrific.

1. Ohh Noooo!

Kerry's not defending himself!!!

He needs surrogates!!!

He's losing in the court of public opinion!!!

Perhaps these two will silence the critics from within. Kerry's gonna be fine. I was worried before I learned more about Kerry's campaign style. Now I'm more confident than ever.
