Peter Gammons at ESPN: Kerry is a 'phony'
ESPN ^ | July 15, 2000 | Peter Gammons

Posted on 07/14/2004 2:04:57 PM PDT by Cableguy

We have been led to cynically believe that many politicians are disingenuous and generally phony, but few will ever beat Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. This man, who changed his middle initial to be JFK and at an anti-Vietnam rally threw someone else's medals into the water, made a self-promotion appearance with Boston talk-show maven Eddie Andelman and claimed he was a big Red Sox fan from his days growing up in Groton, Mass. And at the promotion he said Eddie Yost was his favorite player.

The problem with that is just the simple fact that Eddie Yost never played for the Red Sox.

Peter Gammons is one of my favorites for telling it like it is. That said, I didn't know that kerry changed his middle initial to "F" to be JFK. How dumb is that?

He wasn't a player for the BoSox... but he was a coach in the 70's, as GraniteStateConservative corrected in another thread, and I confirmed with a bit of googling.

Kerry also claimed to really admire Red Sox player "Manny Ortiz". (Senator, would you be referring to Manny Ramirez or David Ortiz?)

Is that really Gammons on the $20 bill? (Slight resemblance :)

And Hillary was named for Sir Edmund Hillary....

And algore was the example for "Love Story..."

And Joe Biden delivers original speeches...

Etc.

What the hell is wrong with these people?

Much like I have fused him and Edwards into one unit (John²), he has fused them into one unit. But which position would he play?

Designated shortstop?

Third fielder?

Right baseman?

I thought that was one of Gore's many fables.

Given Kerry's ample chin, I'd say that 'high & inside' is a guaranteed hit...

Wow, those sound like positions that John Kerry would speak fondly of having played during his baseball-loving youth.
