A True Yankee In King George's Court: Don't Get Kerryed Away
I really hope John Kerry never tries to run again for anything else except to get re-elected as senator in Massachusetts.
Really. He screwed in 2004 (not even in the Bill Clinton sort of technical non-screw sorta way) both in softball against Bush, in not contesting a virtually certain steal in Ohio, and then last week when he ran home after the GOP got Karl Rove on his case.
With that said, however, I still do not know how in hell:
- Kerry managed to mangle the joke even ad libbing, BUT
- Then how it was so deliberately misconstrued by everyone (which means the mass media had to help (of course)
- The Repugs, with so much crap they actually are responsible for, turned it into a multi-day feeding frenzy against Kerry
- No one rode Rumsfeld for his "go to war with the army you have rather than the one you want"
- No one even fucking noticed House majority criminal ... uh... majority leader John Boehner's remarks in the same time period.
