Kerry is no Gandhi on corporate donations - LIBERAL columnist dishes up dirt on Kerry

Media companies, including Viacom, have given more than $300,000 to Kerry. Viacom has contributed a total of $3.2 million to political campaigns in the 2000 and 2002 election cycles, with 81 percent of the money going to Democrats.

Enough said. Who'da thunk the Republicans are the only getting money from corporation?

[Cincinatus' Wife]

That would make him the pancake man or a big mackerel.

Hey, I gotta speak up for poodles.

I don't own one (I gotta Lab) but poodles (especially the Standard variety) are smart. They may be obnoxious, but they're not stupid. They were originally working retrievers.

I bet you could even teach them to write a column better than this. They'd have to dictate, though, and be paid in rawhide bones.

Well, the first verse goes like this:

Do you know the muffin man
The muffin man
The muffin man
Do you know the muffin man
Who lives on Drury Lane?

They did a great spoof of it in the movie "Shrek" with a gingerbread cookie. I thought it might include Kerry's famous (or infamous) and snooty line to the little people in his world: "Do you know me?" And the part about living off his wife. Thanks!

Sing this while I work on Waffle Man.


The Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.

Sung to Jan and Dean’s Little Old Lady from Pasadena


It’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.

The Little Old Commie form Massachusetts.
Go Kerry, Go Kerry, Go Kerry Go
He’s not worried bout his record cause he has two sets.
Go Kerry, Go Kerry, Go Kerry Go
He as slip’ry as grease up in DC town,
He will vote the bill up and then he’ll vote it back down.

Chorus:

And everybody’s saying that he offers the most threats.
That’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.
He takes both sides, yes he takes both sides.
He’s the biggest dang liar up in DC Town.
He’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.


It’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.
If you hear him speakin out don’t pay attention.
Go Kerry, Go Kerry, Go Kerry Go
In a minute or so he’ll just change direction.
Go Kerry, Go Kerry, Go Kerry Go
The man aint trusted in either House.
Cause he always talks out both sides of his mouth.

Chorus:

And everybody’s saying that he offers the most threats.
That’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.
He takes both sides, yes he takes both sides.
He’s the biggest dang liar up in DC Town.
He’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.

Musical Interlude:

Go Kerry, Go Kerry, Go Kerry Go
Go Kerry, Go Kerry, Go Kerry Go
We need to send him home to his heiress wife.
Cause he’s got no business in public life.

Chorus:

And everybody’s saying that he offers the most threats.
That’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.
He takes both sides, yes he takes both sides.
He’s the biggest dang liar up in DC Town.
He’s the Little Old Commie from Massachusetts.

Go Kerry, Go Kerry, Go Kerry Go
Go Kerry, Go Kerry, Go Kerry Go
Go Kerry, Go Kerry, Go Kerry Go
Go Kerry, Go Kerry, Go Kerry Go
Go Kerry, Go Kerry, Go Kerry Go
Go Kerry, Go Kerry, Go Kerry Go

Bush's filth should not stop voters from pressuring Kerry on his rhetoric.

I find this particularly offensive.

[Conspiracy Guy]

The structure is too limiting. If I break the structure I can cover more.

But 2 verse per existing structure follow.

1st Verse

Do you know me, the Waffle Man
The Waffle Man, the Waffle Man,
Do you know me, the Waffle Man,
I live off of my Wife.

2nd Verse

Yes I know you, the Waffle Man
The Waffle Man, the Waffle Man,
Yes I know you, the Waffle Man,
That lives off of his Wife.


Here is my favorite Kerry poem..

Kerry

I thank you for your service,
Way back in Viet Nam.
But that is no free ticket,
To let you pull this scam.
You spit upon our nation,
Betrayed our young brave men.
You called them baby killers,
It’s not true now, nor then.
I’ll vote for Bush this coming fall,
And pray you'll go away.
If you should win, we all will lose,
That's all I have to say.

[ThirstyMan]

Don't know if anyone answered your question but it was "Puttin' On The Ritz".

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Yes! Someone did. Thanks.

[malia]

how much does his lipstick cost?

[counterpunch]

That's covered under "cosmetics".
It's not itemised though.

But this week, The Washington Post reported that Kerry's presidential campaign has received more than $540,000 from either companies that have moved operations overseas to avoid taxes or from fund-raisers run by executives who help companies move to tax havens such as the Cayman Islands and Bermuda. Then there are the media and telecommunications. Kerry's top career contributor ($231,000), the law firm of Mintz, Levin, Cohn, Ferris, Glovsky and Popeo, is heavily involved in telecommunications. Kerry's third-biggest donor is media conglomerate Time-Warner ($141,000). Fourth is the law firm of Hale & Dorr, which is significantly involved in telecommunications and biotech. Fifth is the law firm of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom, which does work for nearly half of the Fortune top 250 industrial and service corporations.

I'm sure the Kerry campaign will be returning all those donations, as soon as they can afford to.
