Kerry and Gingrich Prepare for Smackdown

"Out of the presidential race but still itching to be a part of it all, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) seems to be trying to position himself as the Newt Gingrich of his party." The debate is to be "Hosted by New York University's John Brademas Center for the Study of Congress."

.....Kerry will make an even bigger fool out of himself.

Not sure if that's possible.......;)

[SolitaryMan]

I hope they make the podcast available of it.

[BuffaloJack]

This should be an interesting, although somewhat one sided, debate. Newt will come fully prepared and Kerry will be his normal clueless self attempting to bring his miniscule VietNam experience into it with imagined memories of Cambodia.

[Tolik]

I did not know Kerry served in Vietnam.

:^)

[ronnie raygun]

On a lighter note have you noticed that John Kerry is looking more and more like Herman Munster, lily! oh lily!

[SE Mom]

This will be hilarious.

Newt may have his shortcomings...but he is brilliant and articulate. Kerry will look like.....exactly what he is:)

[George W. Bush]

Either Newt isn't running or he is the first known person to be running for VP.

I think it's time Newt fans get serious about who their second choice will be if he doesn't declare a candidacy.

[BuffaloJack]

Yup, 3 whole months.

[NELSON111]

Yes...it was bad...how could you dare misquote a classic! ;-)

[Alissa]

That’s ridiculous, this new environmental religion/global warming has got to be stopped and the sooner the better. It is a SERIOUS ISSUE because it’s where the radical, anti-American, anti-establishment movement presides at this time.

[johnny7]

I must have seen that movie 20 times too... still like it.

I hear you, and you're probably right. Once I see one worth a crap, I'll let you know.

[The Pack Knight]

It is a SERIOUS ISSUE because it’s where the radical, anti-American, anti-establishment movement presides at this time.

And you're exactly right. Going forward, there's going to be no bigger pretext for taking away our rights than "Climate Change".

Believe me, the "high priests" of this movement, the real true believers, believe in one of two "solutions" to this "problem". One is a return to a "sustainable" subsistence farming economy, preferably in communes with no livestock, where everyone lives in poverty for the good of the planet. The other is the extinction of the human race for the same end. This is not a joke or an exaggeration.

[George W. Bush]

Once I see one worth a crap, I'll let you know.

Join the crowd. ; )

It's a little like the princess kissing the frog.

First, to a conservative, they're all frogs.
Second, since your kiss will turn him into a prince, choose your frog wisely.

I think the Founders wouldn't disagree with that notion. They were a pretty cynical bunch.

[The Pack Knight]

Of course, if you go back and look over the list of Presidents...

Well, only a small minority of those 43 men were really worthy of the office.

[Nice50BMG]

If you’re stupid enough to debate one of the most brilliant minds in Washington, you might just be John Kerry.

[George W. Bush]

Aha. Another conservative cynic.

It's a miracle we can even bring ourselves to vote. But Churchill was right: democracy is the worst form of government unless compared to all the others.

Hold your nose, crawl over the broken glass, pull the lever. And expect the worst.

[The Pack Knight]

It's probably for the best. Only a truly great man would be worthy of the power the office of President of the United States grants, and great men have an annoying tendency to become tyrants.

Your mention of the Founders reminded me of a thought I once had that we might have been better off if, instead of a President and a Vice President, they had simply created two co-equal Presidents with veto powers over each other. Hey, it worked for the Romans...
