Just heard Howie's rant of FOX. All I've got to say is "Seig Heil!" (Of course I stand up and give the same salute during Hillary's rants).

[cibco]

"So Mr. Rassmann flew to Iowa. "I'm a news junkie," he said at a news conference here. "I've followed John's career since '84. I wrote him a letter then and invited him to dinner if he ever came to L.A. Never heard back." "I'm a Volvo Republican, a practical idealist," Mr. Rassmann continued. "He stands for things I'd like to stand for. And he's an honest man. With a good healthy ego, but not an ego that knows no bounds." En route from Davenport, Mr. Kerry was staggered to learn by phone of Mr. Rassmann's emergence. "I'm amazed," he said in a raspy, halting voice. "It's stunning. It's amazing to have a guy from 35 years ago just appear." He said, "You know, I never thought I'd ever see the guy again." About 4:30 p.m., he did: Mr. Rassmann, not so tall, not so sharp-featured now, his not-so-red hair thinning on top, embraced Mr. Kerry. His broad, beaming face quickly melted into sobs. Mr. Kerry squeezed it in both hands. Collecting himself, Mr. Rassmann spoke up. "John didn't have to, but he came to the front under fire," he said. "The bow, pardon me, sir. I always had a problem with Navy terminology. And pulled me over. Had he not, there's no question in my mind that I probably would've fallen back into the river. He could've been shot and killed at any time, and so could I. So I figure I probably owe this man my life.""

I'm sorry, but as a VN vet, this is a crock. Maybe a French Navy commander would get a medal for going back to rescue a comrade in distress. I was in the infantry and this kind of action was just a normal thing to do.

Jeez... with Clinton, military experience didn't count. Now we are supposed to hang on John "F'ing" Kerry heroics. The Dems are pathetic. Kerry needs to go back to France...

[Poser]

I won't mention where I just read this, but a poster someplace else said he was expecting Dean to start demanding TP for his bunghole!

I live it.

Dean is Cornholio!

[mylife]

Ketchup Boy!!! Ketchup Boy!!! Ketchup Boy!!

[hellinahandcart]

Was Dean trying to sound like a cowboy with that "Yeehah" there? Europe won't like that.

Oh gosh, it just went by like a blur the first time. I'm going to have to see this several times before I can describe it fully...

Here comes Frenchy...

That man is a certifiable nut case. Oh jeez it is true,anyone can aspire to be President That was obvious when Sharptongue threw his hat in the ring.

[Hillarys Gate Cult]

Dean makes Hillary appear sane.

Ketchup Boy!!! Ketchup Boy!!! Ketchup Boy!!

[Will_Zurmacht]

I thought Dean would do better, but that's because I assume most Democrats are idiots.

But then again, Iowa folks are not your typical democrat primary voter. I don't think Deano is out yet, least i hope not.

A Kerry/Edwards ticket wouldn't be nearly the pinata Dean would be. I still think we'd win, it'd just be soooo easy against Dean.

[nutmeg]

Edwards has scared me since Day One. Bubbleheaded 'RAT women will vote for him in droves - based on his Breck Girl looks alone, and he doesn't come across as sleazy, like Bill Klintoon did, right from the start.

Onto New Hampshire... Go Dean Go!

[Peach]

The Europeans would never call Dean a cowboy. But just try to imagine for one second George Bush acting like that...not in a million years would he pull a stunt like that. But he gets called the cowboy. Go figure.

[StarFan]

What a great photo!

[Petronski]

Here comes that victorious f**ker now!

[Ingtar]

I had also predicted Dean would pull it out. I forgot about the influence the media has with their polls. There is a segment of the population that wants to be able to say that they voted for the winner. This group contains people from all across the political spectrum. When they hear that Kerry is going to win, they vote for Kerry. It has effected elections for years now. I thought it was now a thing of the past. I guess not.

[Moose4]

It's like the WWF... He's speaking spanish too. Pretty soon we are going to see him asking for "TP" for his bunghole...

Holy crap. I just woke up the neighbors next door from laughing at full volume. That is BEAUTIFUL!

"I am Deanholio! I need TP for my bunghole! Hmm heh heh hmm heh!"
