PUNCHING ABOVE THEIR WEIGHT:

Militants 'wanted Bush re-elected' (December 24, 2004, CNN)

A French journalist held hostage in Iraq for four months says his captors wanted U.S. President George W. Bush re-elected because it would help promote their cause.

Georges Malbrunot, who was released Tuesday along with fellow journalist Christian Chesnot, told CNN the Iraqi militants "need someone tough against them, it's like boxing."

John Kerry being most like Marvis Frazier.
