The Kerry-Edwards campaign is trumpeting a new theme: values. They have been somewhat unclear about just which values they're talking about, but last week, at a star-studded fund-raiser that raised $7.5 million, we found out.
Actress Whoopi Goldberg, wine bottle in hand and stage underfoot, made obscene references to the president's name. When the audience didn't respond as she would have liked, Miss Goldberg asked plaintively: "Why are you asking me to come if you don't want me to be me?" Cameras caught Mr. Kerry and Mr. Edwards cheering and laughing.
John Mellencamp then rhapsodized, in a song called "Texas Bandido" (bandit): "He's just another cheap thug that sacrifices our young ... You're going to get us killed with your little white lies." Any peep of protest from Mr. Edwards or Mr. Kerry went unreported.
Meryl Streep pondered the religious implications of the war in Iraq: "I wondered to myself through the shock and awe, I wondered which of the megaton bombs Jesus, our president's personal savior, would have personally dropped on the sleeping families in Baghdad." Chevy Chase joked that Mr. Bush's most recent read was "Leader of the Free World for Dummies," and compared Mr. Bush's intellect to an "egg-timer." According to actor Paul Newman, the president's tax cuts were "borderline criminal."

The incident reveals some unlovely aspects of the Kerry-Edwards "dream" candidacy It reveals the truth about Kerry/Edwards values.

Now that's a solid comedic jab, not original, but mildly funny. Newman sounds like a cranky old man. Meryl Streep is still stuck in her role from Angels in America. A swift kick usually will take care of that, but the rest of this stuff is just disgraceful. These people aren't drugged out college kids; they're adults who out to know not to let their political enthusiasms get ahead of their basic human decency. Shame on them and shame on the folks in the political party that put them up to this for money!

Just another case of these idiots letting their Battleship Mouths over load their Whaleboat a$$es.
