Most long time residents of Beacon Hill have a "Do you know who I am" story.

Including his wife, who steered well clear of anything warm and personal and instead gave one of those speeches only the truly mega-loaded can give - when you've been rolling in it so long nobody's able to tell you you're a flaky windbag no matter how long you go on or nutty you get.

Plus they couldn't take the chance that she would steal a line from Ronald Reagan and shout: "Mr. Chairman! I PAID for this microphone!"

Alec Russell seems to have the 'Rats figured out.

But you'll never see this in an American newspaper...

Really? John F Kerry's bicycle cost $8,000. Why doesn't he sell his for democracy? If you throw in the designer French T-shirt buttock-hugging lemon-hued lycra shorts, you'd probably be up around an even 10 grand.

Damn, this guy's good...

I can think of something nice about Kerry. By November's end he's going to be looking for work.

I saw it in a college student in Pennsylvania who sold her bicycle and sent us a cheque for $100 with a note that said, 'I sold my bicycle for democracy'."

The Founding Fathers are kicking themselves in their graves thinking, "Dammit! Why didn't we think of that?"

That's why poor boy-turned-trial lawyer John Edwards's supposedly "appealing biography" is appealing only next to John Kerry's. Instead of marrying his money, he sued his way into it.

Great article. Made me feel really good especially this line at the end:

Electorally speaking, he'll lose his shirt.

Kerry and Edwards just don't feel right. I'm not just saying this because I detest them and everything they stand for. They aren't presidential material. Mrs. Heinz isn't first lady material. As much as the media tries to sell these two, I'm getting a feeling, especially after the big convention, their campaign is going to sink like a lead ballon. Anybody but Bush isn't going to carry them over the finish line.

These Guys Are the Most Crooked, Lying Group I've Ever Seen"--John Kerry, 2004, channeling my thoughts about him and Edwards

Now that's a "squirrel's" review of the entire demonrat convocation. All in a nutshell. I believe this convocation of the demonrats this week is the nails in the coffin. Mr. "Flip-Flop" & Mr. "Mop-Top" ain't goin nowhere after the election except down.

That's a good article -- good post. It sounds like this writer has been reading Mark Steyn -- he's not as good as Steyn, but he's finding his own voice.

Ted Kennedy -- Senator
John Kerry -- Senator

That's why they call their state -- Massatwoshits..

Semper Fi

Floundering for a cause with which to rally the citizenry, the Democrats eventually found one: themselves.

wow! Who is this guy? Excellent summary of the circus (uh, sorry, convention).

Dontcha love how when the President stumbles over the occasional word, he's (according to some of the leftists) too stupid to hold his office; yet when Kennedy commits more egregious abuses of the English language, no one seems to care? :)

ATTN: USA TODAY....

This is whom you should have signed for a convention column instead of Ann Coulter. He nails it like only a limey can.

Great column.

'The embattled farmers stood and fired the shot heard round the world," declared Ted Kennedy in a moment of Revolutionary War nostalgia.

"If Ted Kennedy had been around during the Revolutionary War, he would have been at Benedict Arnold's side, betraying his brethren to the hated Redcoats. Probably would have been overjoyed at being given the honor of licking the boots of General Cornwallis," sneered FierceDraka in a moment of Revolutionary War speculation.

It sounds like Steyn because it is Steyn. I don’t know who Alec Russell is, but when I follow the link the Telegraph has this story bylined Mark Steyn. Not bustin' on LW here. Just keepin' folks informed.

[beaversmom]

Ping. Good article by Mark Steyn. Header says author is Alec Russell--mistake.
