Reuters reports on Kerry's attempts to "dispel the notion he was aloof." He's taking the direct approach, asking one television interviewer, "Have you had a beer with me yet? I like to have fun as much as the next person, and go out and hack around and have a good time."

But actions speak louder than words; it's always a bad sign when you have to explain to reporters that you like to have fun. Why doesn't he just go get arrested for drunk driving like a normal candidate?
