Opportunist.

[cripplecreek]

What a despicable excuse for a human being......or should i say excuses?

[talleyman]

"why did you mention it on television?"

"I decided to talk about it before I decided not to talk about it."

[anniegetyourgun]

He's already making "arrangements."

[Izzy Dunne]

He said "Way to go, dude!"

[alancarp]

You're much too kind: I'd start with 'Ambulance Chaser' and go from there. Wonder if JK asked dear old Dad if he had health care?

[kdot]

How about "grave robber."

[talleyman]

He's already making "arrangements."

"So, Mr. Berg, how much can I put you down for? $100? $1,000? ..."

[narby]

Apparently Berg's father is a big leftie. He joined ANSWER.

Not to worry it was in a New York City restaurant.
God knows he meets all his contacts there. Maybe he can meet with the terrorist leaders there and sweet talk them into being good to us. Terrazza can supply the ketchup at Mickey D's.

John Effin Kerry, the opportunist strikes again. Doesn't he know that people see through his charade?

[doug from upland]

He met him for lunch in a NY restaurant. It is amazing who you can meet at restaurants, including grieving fathers and world leaders.

The opportunistic metrosexual gigolo has to let everyone know he talked with Berg's father but then plays coy.

PHILADELPHIA, May 13 (Reuters) - The father of Nick Berg, the Pennsylvania contractor beheaded in Iraq, on Thursday directly blamed President George W. Bush and Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for his son's death.

"My son died for the sins of George Bush and Donald Rumsfeld. This administration did this," Berg said in the interview with radio station KYW-AM.

Two days after the publication of a video showing the execution of his son by five masked men, Berg attacked Bush administration for its invasion of Iraq and its sponsorship of the Patriot Act, which gave increased powers of surveillance to the federal government.

Berg described the Patriot Act as a "coup d'etat." He added: "It's not the same America I grew up in."

While doing it's level best to promote and polish the image of it's man, ABC may just accidently end up showing Kerry to be the unprincipled opportunist that he is. So much of what Kerry does and has done gets ignored or smoothed over, it's making him careless. He may very well self destruct on live television despite the leftist media's best efforts.

[noscreenname]

He meet him over a hoagie in a restaurant in NYC for lunch.

Not that it's any of our business who, where, or when the presumptive demoncrat candidate for President of the United States talks to.

Last time I looked the holder of that office actually worked for me ("...of the people for the people by the people....").

Time sequence:

Kerry trolls bereaved dad hoping for a sound-bite.
Dad doesn't give him anything he can use.

This family is hiding something. Haven't figured out what.

[anniegetyourgun]

Kerry is so politically tone-deaf, he couldn't even keep his attempts at deal-making with the deceased father on the QT.

[SortaBichy]

I can just hear the conversation now...
"Will you star in my next commercial?"
