My Face Time With Kerry
By MARK STEYN November 6, 2006
My face time with John Kerry has been brief but choice. In 2003, I was at a campaign event in New Hampshire chatting with two old coots in plaid. The Senator approached and stopped in front of us. The etiquette in primary season is that the candidate defers to the cranky Granite Stater's churlish indifference to status and initiates the conversation: "Hi, I'm John Kerry. Good to see ya. Cold enough for ya? How 'bout them Sox?" Etc. Instead, Senator Kerry just stood there nose to nose, staring at us with an inscrutable semi-glare on his face. After an eternity, an aide stepped out from behind him and said, "The Senator needs you to move."
"Well, why couldn't he have said that?" muttered one of the old coots. Why indeed?
Right now the Democratic Party needs the Senator to move. Preferably to the South Sandwich Islands, until Tuesday evening, or better still early 2009.
He won't, of course. A vain thin-skinned condescending blueblood with no sense of his own ridiculousness, Senator Nuancy Boy is secure in little else except his belief in his indispensability. We've all heard the famous "joke" now: "You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. And if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." (Rimshot!) Yet, tempting as it is to enjoy his we-support-our-dumb-troops moment as merely the umpteenth confirmation of the Senator's unerring ability to SwiftBoat himself, it belongs in a slightly different category of Kerry gaffe than, say, the time they went into Wendy's and Teresa didn't know what chili was.

What a great read. Steyn absolutely nails the Democrats and what they mean when they pretend to "support the troops".
Too elite to even say excuse me!
His disdain for the common man is always present, it is in fact why he couldn't apologise and instead threw a temper tantrum.
This is a great article, a must read.
This is a STERLING article...Thanks very much for posting it!
Good down to the last straddle and rimshot.
The frightening thing about Kerry is that despite the fact that he is obviously delusional to the point of mental illness, he still convinced many American's to cast their precious votes for him.
Did TaaRayZaa really not know what chili was???
The article says it all. Thanks for posting.
"The frightening thing about Kerry is that despite the fact that he is obviously delusional to the point of mental illness, he still convinced many American's to cast their precious votes for him."
He sounds like Reverend Jim Jones, doesn't he?
"The Senator can kiss my..."
"I need the Senator to go 'round thattaway."
(squinting) "What Senator?"
blueblood? More accurately 'fake' blueblood.
Even more frightening is that millions of Americans do just that. Scares the daylights out of me.
If you take out the fraud, probably about 10% and the 10% garnered from the sheeple by the MSM you see that the gigolo didn't earn much respect on his own.

The absolute best description of Kerry I have ever seen. Kudos to Mr. Steyn.
Perfect!
"And as Kerry demonstrates effortlessly every time he opens his mouth, if you detach the heroism of a war from the morality of it, what's left but braggadocio?"
He said a mouthful there!!!
Don't some folks put 'Heinz' in their chili??
