Well, well, well....Thurston & Lovey aren't going to like this.

I had no idea when I wrote #152 that John Harris would have a front page article in the WashPost this morning outlining how conservatives are USING HUMOR against Kerry!

Meanwhile, a variety of surrogates and outside groups are amplifying and broadening this attack by using humor, insult and innuendo to portray the Kerrys as exotic figures whose rich lifestyle and cosmopolitan values leave them unable to understand ordinary Americans.
In the couple of months since Kerry effectively locked up the Democratic nomination, Commerce Secretary Donald L. Evans asserted that Bush's opponent "looks French." [It was at least 6 months ago, Mr. Harris]. The conservative group Citizens United ran a television commercial last month highlighting his $75 haircuts and "four lavish mansions and beachfront estate." When Kerry this month unveiled his "misery index" to highlight what he calls Bush's economic failures, the Republican National Committee gleefully countered with its own mocking "Index de le Miserables." Conservative commentators chortled at news that Teresa Kerry had helped design an official scarf for her husband's campaign.
AND THE DEM RESPONSE?...
Mandy Grunwald...the wisecracks are an effort to say 'George Bush is a real guy and John Kerry isn't. John Kerry is a fop.' "

LOL! Who but the effete use a word like "fop" anymore?! You have to read the whole thing!

(Did you know Kerry's yacht is named the "Scaramouche"?!)

Then check this one out. Colbert King, WashPost columnist, accuses the Kerry campaign of being "white as the driven snow". He outlines the contortions the campaign will go thru to portray themselves as inclusive.

How delicious if the donkeys are hoisted on their own pittard of "diversity".

Is Kerry's Campaign Colorblind?

"It's a core part of their strategy; They're trying to pry him from the mainstream of the country," Democratic consultant Mandy Grunwald

Oh yeah, Johnny boy's been a real part of mainstream America all his life. Wonder why he's not motoring around the coast of America in his campaign boat?

All this picture needs is a little music... something like...

Bohemian Rhapsody...

I see a little silhouetto of a man Scaramouch, scaramouch will you do the fandango?!
