Kerry to Announce Running Mate in E-Mail
22 minutes ago

CLOQUET, Minn. - Democrat John Kerry plans to announce his vice presidential running mate in an e-mail to the 1 million subscribers to his campaign Web site.

But he didn't say when.

Kerry is expected to make the announcement before the July 26-29 Democratic National Convention. Typically, a presidential candidate announces a running mate at a carefully crafted campaign event.

But Kerry told KSTP, an ABC affiliate in Minneapolis, that his Web site would be the first vehicle.

"The folks who are going to learn first about my choice are going to be the people on JohnKerry.com," Kerry said. "They're the people who've helped carry this campaign. They're the folks who've been part of our effort across the nation. And they'll be the first to know what my decision is."

North Carolina Sen. John Edwards, Missouri Rep. Dick Gephardt, Florida Sen. Bob Graham and Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack have been mentioned as possible running mates. Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico withdrew from consideration on Thursday.

Senator Kerry has such a difficult time making up his mind that one wonders if he'll even manage to make his VP candidate decision by the end of the Democratic convention this month...

This qualifies as junk mail if anything does.

LOL, I wouldn't be surprised if the virus writers didn't latch onto this to spread virus and trojans. Thankfully this swarm will target mainly lefties :)

DEAR SIR,

URGENT AND CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS PROPOSAL

I AM JOHN KERRY, PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE OF THE LATE DEMOCRATIC PARTY PREVIOUSLY RUN BY WILLIAM JEFFERSON "BILL" CLINTON. AFTER HE IMPEACHMENT OF WILLIAM WHO WAS IMPEACHED MYSTERIOUSLY AS A RESULT OF A VAST RIGHT WING CONSPIRACY, I WAS INFORMED BY OUR CHAIRMAN, TERRY MCAULIFFE THAT, WILLIAM WHO AT THAT TIME WAS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, CALLED HIM AND CONDUCTED HIM ROUND HIS APARTMENT AND SHOWED HIM FOUR METAL BOXES CONTAINING MONEY ALL IN FOREIGN EXCHANGE AND HE EQUALLY MADE HIM BELIEVE THAT THOSE BOXES ARE FOR ONWARD TRANSFER TO HIS OVERSEAS COUNTERPART FOR PERSONAL INVESTMENT.

ALONG THE LINE, WILLIAM CLINTON DIED AND SINCE THEN THE AMERICAN GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN AFTER US, MOLESTING, POLICING AND FREEZING OUR BANK ACCOUNTS AND EVEN MY ELDEST DAUGHTER RIGHT NOW IS IN DETENTION. MY FAMILY ACCOUNT IN SWITZERLAND WORTH US$22,000,000.00 AND 120,000,000.00 DUTCH MARK HAS BEEN CONFISCATED BY THE GOVERNMENT. THE GOVERNMENT IS INTERROGATING HIM (MY DAUGHTER ALEXANDRA, I HAVE PHOTOS) ABOUT OUR ASSET AND SOME VITAL DOCUMENTS. IT WAS IN THE COURSE OF THESE, AFTER THE BURIAL RITE AND CUSTOMS, THAT OUR LAWYER SAW YOUR NAME AND ADDRESS FROM THE PUBLICATION OF THE DEMOCRAT BUSINESS PROMOTION AGENCY. THIS IS WHY I AM USING THIS OPPORTUNITY TO SOLICIT FOR YOUR CO-OPERATION AND ASSISTANCE TO HELP ME AS A VERY SINCERE RESPONSIBLE PERSON. I HAVE ALL THE TRUST IN YOU AND I KNOW THAT YOU WILL NOT SIT ON THIS MONEY.

I HAVE SUCCEEDED IN CARRYING THE FOUR METAL BOXES OUT OF THE COUNTRY, WITH THE AID OF SOME TOP GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL, WHO STILL SHOW SYMPATHY TO MY FAMILY, TO A SYMPATHETIC COUNTRY (PARIS FRANCE) TO BE PRECISE. I PRAY YOU WOULD HELP US IN GETTING THIS MONEY TRANSFERRED OVER TO YOUR COUNTRY. EACH OF THESE METAL BOXES CONTAINS US$5,000,000.00 (FIVE MILLION UNITED STATES DOLLARS ONLY) AND TOGETHER THESE FOUR BOXES CONTAIN US20,000,000.00(TWENTY MILLION UNITED STATESDOLLARS ONLY). THIS IS ACTUALLY WHAT WE HAVE MOVED TO FRANCE.

THEREFORE, I NEED AN URGENT HELP FROM YOU AS A MAN OF GOD TO HELP GET THIS MONEY IN PARIS FRANCE TO YOUR COUNTRY. THIS MONEY, AFTER GETTING TO YOUR COUNTRY, WOULD BE SHARED ACCORDING TO THE PERCENTAGE AGREED BY BOTH OF US.PLEASE NOTE THAT THIS MATTER IS STRICTLY CONFIDENTIAL AS THE GOVERNMENT WHICH MY MENTOR WAS PART OF IS STILL UNDER SURVAILLANCE TO PROBE US.

YOU CAN CONTACT ME THROUGH MY FAMILY LAWYER AS INDICATED ABOVE AND ALSO TO LIAISE WITH HIM TOWARDS THE EFFECTIVE COMPLETION OF THIS TRANSACTION ON TEL/FAX N0:xxx-x-xxxxxxx AS HE HAS THE MANDATE OF THE FAMILY TO HANDLE THIS TRANSACTION.

THANKS AND BEST REGARD

MR. JOHN KERRY

Good one, though I'd have made it about an illicit ketchup inheritance.

You are right. I could have been more clever.

But you gotta be quick on FR.

If a Repub had done this, the Dems would be whining about the insensitivity to the "poor inner city black folks who have disproportionately fewere Internet connections than the overly priviledged rich, evil white people." Then they would call him / her a racist for this.

Maybe somebody should suggest that Kerry is being elitist and exclusionary in his chosen announcement method?

LOL, that is the truth. I wish I had a dollar for every time my perfectionist tendencies struggled against my worry that another Freeper would post substantially the same idea while I was still tweaking mine.

you forget, he is talking past his dark brothers right now...they scared him the other night, he actually dropped his prepared speech and started begging them to listen to him; half the audiance was asleep, bored to tears, and the other half actually heard his DRIVEL and were giving him EYE-ZOTS because it was more lies to the po' black folks.
