Bump and thanks!!!

[Fenris6]

Ask them if they think its "cool" that Kerry eats Dominoe's Pizza with a fork...

[beaversmom]

Thanks Pokey. This is so funny. Just when I think he can't sustain his streak of great articles, he does it again. So many lines from this one had me laughing out loud.

[NYCVirago]

That's much cooler than a 60-year old Botoxicated Brahmin from the U.S. Senate recycling a lot of 20-year-old cliches about rap being the authentic voice of the streets.

No kidding. Rap hasn't had a real political, socially conscious group since the heyday of Public Enemy and Arrested Development. I wish the questioner had asked Kerry how many times has 50 Cent been shot to see how much he really knows about the music.

[beaversmom]

Does anyone else who hears Mark on Hugh Hewitt find themselves reading his articles in his voice? I love his sing song British accent.

[beaversmom]

Ping. You've got to read this one Tee Exx--it's too funny.

""You know what comes to mind, David? A cheap whore doing a good impression of a well-paid skank. That's what comes to mind." "

Now that answer would have been absolutely priceless.

"because he'd never heard of Leonardo DiCaprio.."

I had never heard of him either until about six months ago --

When you were a little kid, did you sneak around the house, looking in closets and under beds all December?

Bump and thanks for the ping Pokey! We should be clamoring to have this man's columns in every newspaper in the country! He's smart, to the point, and best of all, wickedly funny while he's at it.

I can hardly wait 'til Teraysa gets down and dirty with a few of her favorite gangsta rap tunes. Hopefully, we'll get a few pics.

''Go ahead, punk/hip-hopper/techno-industrial-garage-house-wraparound-porch beatnik, make my day. I'll be there and be square.''

I assume this is a paraphrase of the Iron Lady :-).

The Kerry Salute

[MeekOneGOP]

''Oh sure. I follow and I'm interested,'' says John Kerry. ''I'm fascinated by rap and by hip-hop. I think there's a lot of poetry in it. There's a lot of anger, a lot of social energy in it. And I think you'd better listen to it pretty carefully, 'cause it's important . . . I'm still listening because I know that it's a reflection of the street and it's a reflection of life.''

Really? You're ''fascinated'' by rap and ''listening'' to hip-hop? You're America's first flip-flopper hip-hopper?

[MeekOneGOP]

Yeah, really !! ...

What an embezzle! What an Ultra-Maroon!

[mylife]

Look up the french word "poseur" in the dictionary and you will find John "freekin" Kerry's picture beside the definition.

[headsonpikes]

It's hard to believe that the banal phoney Kerry is actually a serious candidate for the Presidency.
