John Kerry's Desperate Hours
The one-time Democratic front-runner is fighting for his survival
By Will Dan
Did you feel you were blindsided by Dean's success?
Well, not blindsided. I mean, when I voted for the war, I voted for what I thought was best for the country. Did I expect Howard Dean to go off to the left and say, "I'm against everything"? Sure. Did I expect George Bush to f**k it up as badly as he did? I don't think anybody did.

The above is an excerpt from a Rolling Stone interview with John Kerry. I didn't see this posted anywhere, I "bleeped" the 4 letter word but I heard Brit Hume mention this Rolling Stone interview yesterday and it has bugged me ever since.
I remember the nasty comments when Richard Nixon used a few cuss words in a taped private conversation that no one was ever meant to hear. I guess now it's ok for a "potty mouth" to think he can be president of the USA.
I always told my kids this language was only used by people who didn't have the vocabulary to express a thought and showed a lack of intelligence.
I've never posted before, only responded (infrequently) so excuse me if I did this wrong or it's in the wrong place!

I think you've done a useful service to call this Rolling Stone article to Freepers' attention. I just did a search, and this seems to be the first time it's been posted.
There are two things I'd suggest, however. One is always to use the original headline, with added comments in square brackets if you like. That way if someone searches for it they'll find it and not post it twice.
Second, you can publish the whole article rather than an extract, since it isn't the LA Times, Washington Post, or one of their subsidiaries such as Newsweak.
You are right to call attention to Kerry's use of a four-letter word. I think the very fact that he's doing an interview in Rolling Stone is also significant. He's trying to appeal to the youthful "Rebel Without a Cause" contingent. Pretty desperate, if you ask me.

Thanks for posting, donnalee. Instructive to see this guy's shameless pandering to the Dixie Chick voting bloc by throwing around f-bombs. The more we learn about this guy, the more pathetic we see he is.

Kerry Kerry Kerry - A man, a prostate, a surfer, a biker, a vet. A potty mouth.
Go away you Lurch looking cockold ketchup kissing Frenchman (with an "F").
To: donnalee
A candidate for the highest office in the land using the F word.
Frankly, I am stunned at this.

If I were president, we would not be in Iraq today -- we would not be at war.And the Iraqi people would be dying like flies. Those that didn't get shredded, hanged, eaten alive by dogs and wild animals, shot, beheaded, killed in acid baths or blown up, get the minor treatment, like being thrown off a 2 story roof, having their tongues cut out, having their women and daughters raped, having their arms and legs broken, whipped with iron bars and leather whips, being made to dance in an acid drip room, having their eyes put out.
All of the above was usually in public to help keep them in line.
You would have waited the required 8-12 months in order to get the TRUE coalition of the French, German and Russians, wouldn't you have Mr. Kerry?
Nevermind the billions in contracts your TRUE coalition partners had in place with Saddam.
All your usage of your perceived "in" lingo like "dude" and the snowboarding and using the "f" word to prove sense of 'cool', might work on the pothead readers of RS, but they won't on me you worthless worm.

Frankly, I am stunned at this.
Either Kerry has some idiots telling him using this kind of language has some benefit or Kerry really has no fire in his belly for the presidency. And is trying to blow it so he can play with his wifes toys.
I think he wants the toys.....
To: donnalee
Well, I'll be darned. He finally revealed what his middle initial really stands for.
John "F" (Vietnam) Kerry is trying to out-Dean Dean by doing an interview in an outdated rag called The Rolling Stone.

Really, you guys know I am as gross as the next person, but why on earth would ANYBODY use the F word in an interview they knew was going to be published?
I am certainly no babe in the woods politically; what am I missing here?

You know, there are a great number of people who use the F word from time to time without much thought. However, I do believe the vast majority (including many of those same people) do not want to hear someone in high office use it in public. It's crude and tasteless, and everyone knows it. Same reason there was such a fuss over Nixon's "expletive deleted" tapes- wasn't like people never cuss, but it was ...disillusioning to know the President was so crass.

Well, Dean seems to think that he needs to act like some cartoon character to be noticed. Since he has been Beavis then Kerry must have decided he was Butthead.
So, if Dean and Kerry need to be trashy then where do they stop? Will we see hidden camera of Dean or Kerry doing a Paris Hilton? How over-the-top do they go?
To: donnalee
Just the sort of language that impresses the masses in campaign speeches and debates, Mr. Kerry. Go ahead and see what the reaction will be. I dare ya.

Rolling Stone is a magazine geared towards young people who are too stupid to know better. They ought to relabel it DU Jr.

The main is getting desperate, and is thus throwing Hail Mary passes. Kerry is going down. He may drop out before New Hampshire, but at this point almost certainly right after. The poor guy is so F'ed. He has no real constituency.

Kerry is toast. He's 30 points behind Dean in NH! That was supposed to be Kerry's for the taking. He's done. And thank goodness...the guy's double speak makes Clinton look succinct and to the point. I swear, every time I hear this guy talk I have to think, "what in the h*ll is he saying?" He contradicts himself continously. Even his speech to the Council on Foreign Affairs was utterly incoherent. It's time for Kerry to drop out - he's going nowhere FAST!

I'm convinced he doesn't want to be president, but his wife is pushing him to do it. Does he seem like a guy who's consumed with wanting the job?
