"If I inhale really deeply, nobody will even know I am sniffing my fingers."

WASHINGTON -
Just kidding.
John Kerry (news - web sites) told a Detroit radio station on Friday he'd name his running mate "in a matter of days," throwing the Washington rumor mill into high gear. Later in the day, he grinned when told that his interview was taken seriously.
"All you have you do is listen to it," Kerry said aboard his campaign plane. "It was plain (that it was a joke). Don't ever write about me being dour and sober and somber."
"There is no announcement imminent," Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter said. "And we won't have more to say on the subject until Senator Kerry makes a decision on who is the best possible running mate."
Democrats say they've been told by the campaign not to expect Kerry's choice until next month.
In an interview with WJR in Detroit, Kerry was asked who he was considering for vice president.
"Yeah, we'll have that done very, very shortly. We've really got most of them in place and we're on the short list and we'll have it done in a matter of days," Kerry replied.
Asked if he would announce the choice on he show, the senator said sarcastically: "Yeah, absolutely. That was my plan, and let me see now, I'll run through the list."
"Senator Kerry was just making a joke after the radio host asked if he'd make his announcement on the radio show," Cutter said.
"If I inhale really deeply, nobody will even know I am sniffing my fingers."
***Don't ever write about me being dour and sober and somber."***
OK, He's as drunk as a Kennedy!
. . . cart before horse, kerryspeak. . .
A wonderful thing to behold in a candidate for President.
"Damn, those fingers smelled good...almost reminds me of Teresa's bank account."
One of the problems that John Kerry has had, is that so far, it seems everybody has said "No", some quite emphatically.
Don't worry, John. The Vice Presidency is like the last cookie on the plate. Eventually somebody will take it.
Just means he can't do squat without clearing it with the clintons first.
I gotta theory about that stupid pink checked tie he now wears everyday. He's doing his version of the Hillary black pantsuit. If hell were to freeze over and he was elected, his acceptance speech will be along the lines of "here we are 600,000 airmiles, 4 campaign buses and 6 pink checked ties later...blah blah blah.
Ha ha ha! Good one, Senator Kerry. Someone get me some Scotch tape, my sides are splitting.
Yeah, he's a real charmer.
At some point Mr. Kerry will have to pick a running mate that is duller than he is. Who could that be?
Still no pictures of him phlippen the bird at the Viet Nam Memorial, yet....
It looks like his plates are shifting.
Duller? He could dust off Mike Du Kaka then they could run as: Kerry / Du-Kaka '04.
Looks edematous in that first shot. Where's the Botox?
My wife come home from work yesterday and said she had read/heard that Kerry was considering Bill Clinton for his VP.
Look at the photo in 51......around the eyes....he is not a well man.
If elected, one can anticipate Kerry saying in 2007, "I was joking when I ran for POTUS with my antagonistic rhetoric about GWB and my promotion of the UN, so don't blame ME for the wrath of Islam and their terrorists killing 1.5 million Americans just because I'm POTUS now.
At the risk of being redundant, Kerry is not running for President, he is trying to muddy up the election as much as possible, and attempt to engage President Bush into a mud fight. Once he (Kerry) is done, he will back up, and someone else will step in.
Who is behind the screen pulling his strings?
I'll tell you what's funny as hell, he thinks we think he actually has a plan. If flying by the seat of your pants was a sport, he would be ranked #1.
