CNN ^ | 6/22/04

This morning at 11:45 a.m. ET, Virginia Gov. Mark Warner will deliver a luncheon speech to the Democratic Leadership Council in Washington, speaking mostly about his successful effort to get the commonwealth's GOP-led legislature to pass his $1.4 billion tax increase. But, of course, he'll also talk about Kerry.

"Three and one-half years ago, Republicans promised they could cut taxes, eliminate the national debt and keep the economy booming. Instead, our country lost jobs, and we turned a $236 billion surplus into a deficit that now approaches $500 billion," Warner will say, according to an advance copy of his speech obtained by the Grind. "That surplus was created in large part because Democrats in Congress -- leaders like John Kerry -- were willing to make the tough choices needed to balance budgets and rein in spending."

"Just to put your minds all at ease, I have four words for you that I know will relieve you greatly," Kerry told the crowd of donors. "How does this sound -- Vice President Hunter Thompson."

I can just see it now. Kerry and Thompson are sitting on a TV set, waiting for an interview.

Thompson: "Hey, John, your face is melting!"

Kerry: "Dammit, Hunter, I told you NOT to pop acid before an interview!"

Thompson:"No, seriously, your face is, like, seriously melting!"

Kerry (touching his face): "Oh, cripes! Makeup used too much botox again! TOUCHUP!"

A makeup technician runs forward with a CO2 fire extinguisher and sprays Kerry in the face with it for a full ten seconds.

Thompson: "Wow, that must sting."

Kerry: "Yeah, but that will keep my face in place until after the interview..."

Kerry pulling a slick willie. Every state where he campaigned he suggested that their governor or senator or whatever might be his veep.

"In Aspen, Kerry invited writer Hunter S. Thompson to ride in his motorcade and brought three copies of Thompson's book about the 1972 presidential race, "Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail" for autographs.

"Just to put your minds all at ease, I have four words for you that I know will relieve you greatly," Kerry told the crowd of donors. "How does this sound -- Vice President Hunter Thompson."

Make that traitorous RINO-led...

Wonder if Ketchup Boy is thinking of little Markie Warner for Veep? I shudder to think of that weasel a heartbeat away from the Presidency...of course, I shudder to think of Kerry as Prez, too!

[plain talk]

We? The terrorists did it. Now we have a courageous leader who is going after the scum responsible for this deficit and these cowardly democrats won't support him. Democrats have no business running a university much less a country.

"Wow, Kerry's such a cool 60s rebel. He hangs out with Hunter Thompson. He even rides a motorcycle and says "dude.""

The preceding passage was a window into the mind of a typical Kerry voter.

[CzarNicky]

So where exactly was Kerry when the drugs kicked in?

[CatoRenasci]

Hunter S. Thompson is a mean drunk. Especially when drunk on Jack Daniels and high on first rate quality blotter acid, in which state I met him in Santa Barbara in 1970 or 1971, where he was lecturing. Gave a good talk, but was definitely not happy pliable coeds were not supplied.

[Mr. Mojo]

brought three copies of Thompson's book about the 1972 presidential race, "Fear and Loathing: On the Campaign Trail"

Completely appropriate, considering the (high) probability that the 2004 election will yield similar results (to '72).

Do you know where to get the income and expense projections upon which those "surpluses" were based?

[Little Bill]

Hunter: Gun control, I have gun control, watch me, pulls out .44 Mag, got him, one shot had to lead him a little, Democrat?, Damn must have been a conservive.

Bring it on, Frenchy...

Let's go to the Olympics! (Drug Addled, Hunter S. Thompson blows a gasket)

"Now I am really ashamed to carry an American passport. Not even the foulest atrocities of Adolf Hitler ever shocked me so badly as these photographs did.

Is Kerry's gag VP candidate some kind of an antisemite?
