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:

  1. Kerry managed to mangle the joke even ad libbing, BUT
  2. Then how it was so deliberately misconstrued by everyone (which means the mass media had to help (of course)
  3. The Repugs, with so much crap they actually are responsible for, turned it into a multi-day feeding frenzy against Kerry
  4. No one rode Rumsfeld for his "go to war with the army you have rather than the one you want"
  5. No one even fucking noticed House majority criminal ... uh... majority leader John Boehner's remarks in the same time period.
