Kerry's Operation - The Question the Media is Not Asking

04/01/04 | Jolly Green

We've all heard that the operation on Kerry's shoulder is to repair and old injury. What old injury? Why now? There is every reason to believe that this ultra-liberal injured his shoulder on his recent snow boarding vacation. We saw all of the footage of him gliding down the slopes, but nary a foot of him crashing into the secret service agent or the other five known crashes. (And that was just the first day.)

[Jolly Green]

Do we have another liberal media cover-up on our hands?

[Amelia]

Who cares?

[samtheman]

I thought this the first time I heard the report.

The idiot ran into a wall or a tree or a secret service agent in an effort to prove how virile he is, and the press is covering his idiocy with an "old injury" story.

Too bad our press isn't free.

[billorites]

It's previously been reported that Kerry recently aggravated an old pandering injury.

[Keith in Iowa]

Their story is that he was injured when he braced himself as his campaign bus stopped abruptly here in Iowa.

[onevoter]

It is true that Kerry seems to have constant health problems of one sort or another - and what's with needing to rest up because his campaign was "so tiring." I guess being the President of the U.S. might be over-taxing for him, as well.

[Jolly Green]

Who cares?

Point taken.

[Joe Boucher]

Whatever injury he sustained wasn't injury enough.

[P8riot]

Maybe he forgot to get the scars to go with those three purple hearts, and now all of a sudden he's found the time.

"Uh, doc, put a three incher right here..........."

I would suggest Agent Orange, but that would give him the excuse for another purple heart.

[mystery-ak]

I think the wrong limb is in a sling.

[Fresh Wind]

Who cares?

It's no big deal to suffer an injury while skiing/snowboarding. It's a potentially dangerous sport. If Kerry just came out and admitted that this was what happened, no one would fault him for it. It would never be an issue.

Instead, Kerry's offered a lame explanation about having been jostled while on a campaign bus. Possibly true, but he should have never done the ski thing if he already had a shoulder injury. This would show poor judgement on his part, something not especailly desirable in a president.

More likely, since he got caught making that stupid remark about "never falling down" and the "son-of-a-b*tch" Secret Service agent, he realized he could not then admit to a ski-related injury as that would make him look like a complete fool.

So, which Kerry do you prefer? One with poor judgement, one that lies, or one that's a complete fool?

[mewzilla]

If he's lying, I care.

Repetetive Flip Flop Injury

Lets give him a disability severance

[paul in cape]

"Excuse me, Senator Kerry, but wasn't the hump on your other shoulder?"

"What hump?"

[Loyal Buckeye]

"Repetetive Flip Flop"

The correct medical term, I believe, is Carpel flip-flop syndrome.

[SandRat]

Or could it be that he's hiding something else?

get out yer tin hats

[mewzilla]

LOL. Gee, I wonder if Hilliary's October Surprise will be the delivery of Ketchup Boy's medical records to some obliging journo.

Well said, the void in this story is astounding!
If the surgery is elective then the timing is really suspect. I've had this corrective surgery on my shoulder and it is hardly an out-patient kind of thing. I was laid up three days in the hospital and the recovery took weeks. It's absolutely crazy that this is happening at such an important time in his life.

It's a Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
