I just watched the tape and have some additional observations.
Edwards has now taken the primary role in the duo and he very aggressively interrupted Kerry a couple of times, as he felt Kerry was stumbling.
Kerry just looked at him like a whipped dog.
Edwards has a squinty look now, when he tries to convey gravitas. He looks like a mean kid, instead.
The two of them continued to touch each other during the interview-it went both ways-I guess like the two of them.
Watch Kerry's hands-he nervously twists and picks at his fingers and nails constantly.
He did the same thing on Larry King, Thursday night. Teresa grabbed ahold of his hands and literally held them down on Larry King to get Kerry to stop fidgeting.
When the wives joined them,Teresa tried to grab Kerry's hands and stop the nervous picking-but,Kerry was resistant-he swatted her hand away-in fact he acted like a little kid,refusing to hold Mommy's hand when they cross the street.
Kerry wouldn't cooperate and hold her hand and even Leslie Stahl commented on the hand commotion.
Eventually, Teresa got her way and she forcefully held down Kerry's hands, so he couldn't fidget and pick his fingers.
And Teresa attempted to promote the myth that Kerry is Irish, by saying he's wasn't a " funny Irishman."
The transcript posted earlier did not have these comments by Kerry :
Stahl- " You seem pumped up by John Edwards."
Kerry- " Oh, I am. Absolutely. He's spectacular."
Stahl- "Is some of Edwards' energy rubbing off on him?"
Kerry-"Well, I certainly hope so.
I want it to.
I love it," says Kerry.
Kerry- "But you know what, so is he. He's faaaaabulous."
"But he's definitely got energy without me, you know," adds Edwards.
"You don't have to be a rocket scientist to see a number of things.
One is that we like each other.
Two is that we we're having a great time on the campaign trail.
And three is we're good for each other."
The two Johns admitting that they have a " pre nup " with each other, the constant touching, the talk of being pumped up and rubbing off on each other, their silly giggling which prompted the Johns to punch each other's arms and touch each other's knees, will only lend credence to the rumors about these two that are flying all over the net.
Their cutesy schoolgirl giggly act is the stuff of a Gay Pride parade, not statesmen.
They must be behaving like this to please their gay voters.
Anything beyond that is out of question - they are both married and have their own children... I (think)
Stahl- " You seem pumped up by John Edwards."
Kerry- " Oh, I am. Absolutely. He's spectacular."
Stahl- "Is some of Edwards' energy rubbing off on him?"
Kerry-"Well, I certainly hope so.
I want it to.
I love it," says Kerry.
Kerry- "But you know what, so is he. He's faaaaabulous."
Seriously, is Kerry a long time closet homo? There are many men through out history who have played hetero house even making offspring to further their public image, ya know, keepin up with the Jones and all while gettin a little man lickin on the side.
