Thanks Ernest. I was entranced by Mr. Kerry on Meet the Press today and had a stupid moment.


I haven't seen any posts about Kerry on Meet the Depressed. Was it really that unremarkable? NO ONE made note of what he said?

Kerry on Meet Depressed: Remarkable for Timmy's tough questioning and Kerry's lame performance (as well as very orange pancake makeup).

Kerry's arrogance was on full display and he got a little snippy with Russert.

Russert played a little of the anti-Vietnam lies that Kerry spewed during an ancient MTP interview (regurgitation of Congressional testimony). Kerry's first response to the tape was, "Where did all of that dark hair go?" Russert looked incredulous.

The other notable moment came when Russert challenged Kerry on his military/medical records on the grounds that some are now questioning the legitimacy of Kerry's first purple heart.

Kerry lamely complained that he had a piece of shrapnel in his arm and therefore deserved the purple heart. Then, incredibly, he tried to assert that his records are already public, but he flip-flopped and said that he would be happy to show them to anyone who wants to see them. Very bizarre answer and great pickins for Rove.

Kerry's explanation of his economic plan was pretty funny too. He said that he has "creative" ways to finance the multitude of programs that he has promised AND still balance the budget.

I think that even Russert was saying to himself, "This man is an idiot."
