Check this out - this is the issue on the news stands right now:

Tabloid Report: John Kerry Sex Disease Scandal That Could Keep Him Out Of The White House

[archy]

I wonder if he is going to try and get another Purple Heart out of it?

Nah. It's actually a cover story for some cosmetic surgery he's having on his back.

He's trying to have that yellow streak down it removed.

[archy]

Imagine a hard fought campaign that ran until late September or early October. Kerry is behind Bush, but both have been hammering each other for months. Kerry's scandalous past has finally caught up with him. Then for some reason (health, death, scandal, arrest, whatever) he drops out of the race. The new candidate would step in, be above the fray, would be too late in the game to debate, and would be granted a honeymoon period by the press and voters until election day. No debates, no hard questions, no hard review of the record or past votes. And a cake walk into the Whitehouse. (And with CFR, even private citizens couldn't buy TV time to attack her during that period).

I'm not suggesting they have this planned or even that they could pull it off. But I assure you, this has occurred to the Clintons.

You've just described the sort of Illinois-Cook County politics of the sort of which Hillary grew up around as a young girl while entrenched Mayor Daley held sway. Then as a college political science student and law school denizen, she developed the ideas and skills that could allow her to put those tactics into pllay for her own political and personal benefit.

There's a newsroom betting pool in which I've dropped my ten bucks in the kitty that's got all sorts of variations as to differing final 2004 November election numbers from landslide to squeaker, with the betting around 50-50 for either candidate. There are some very knowledgable print and broadcast journalists in for that pot, with two picking wild cards: mine predicated on Hillary on the ticket either as presidential or VP candidate... and another who predicts that Bush will not be the Republican candidate.

He's a Republican, though the son of a former county Democratic Party chairman of a county with a major metro city of over a million population that usually mostly votes Democrat.

I just wonder what he may have heard over the family Christmas or New Year's dinner....

Hey, nice find.

I don't read the gossip rags. Someone will have to report back as to the nature of Kerry's STD. There's so many really nice ones.

BTW, does this mean Teresa is a carrier, too? LOL.

[NotJustAnotherPrettyFace]

Oooooooohhh..... good one. Wow - that's the best comparison I've seen yet!

[lonerepubinma]

That finger pointing has been driving me crazy for months. Do all the dem's go to the same stupid finger pointing school or did he learn it from Bill when he told us all that "I did not have sex with that woman" ?
The only reason you point like that is bacause no one is paying attention to what you are saying.

When is Kerry going to relaese his medical records? Last year he had surgery for prostate cancer and now he is having 'shoulder' surgery? There are serious outstanding issues about his health.

The Devil collecting his due? In both cases?

Thank you. I wasn't going to post it (I've been thinking about it for a couple of weeks), but last night, I was about half drunk, and it gave me the giggles.

Glad you appreciated it.

LOL!

"Someone tell the person who swiped the Kerry FBI files to also get Richard Clarke's phone records. I'd bet it includes more than one conference call with Viacom, John Kerry, Bob Kerrey and Terry McAuliffe."

Would be the perfect time for the Bush/Cheney campaign to come out with another Kerry ad.

[theDentist]

(Heard over Hospital Intercom)

"Hospital Security to Outpatient Surgery Theater 3 Immediately!"
"And will the real Doctor Raoul also report to Outpatient Surgery Theater 3 immediately!"

[freekitty]

I don't think it matters regarding his campaign. After all, he is only shilling for the true candidate, Hitlery.

Darn! I had just scrolled down from the article to post that very thought--great minds and all that.
