Alexandra Kerry: Dad Gave Hamster CPR
NewsMax .com ^ | 7/30/04 | Carl Limbacher

Would-be first daughter Alexandra Kerry revealed Thursday night that her father's habit of saving men overboard didn't end with his Swift Boat rescue of fellow Vietnam veteran Jim Rassman.

In a bizarre recollection, Alexandra told the Democratic Convention crowd how the family waited dockside one summer day to embark on a trip, when the cage housing her sister's hamster "Licorice" tumbled into the drink. "My dad jumped in, grabbed an oar, fished the cage from the water, hunched over the soggy hamster and began to administer CPR," the Kerry daughter told the audience. "There are still to this day some reports of mouth-to-mouth, but I admit it's probably a trick of memory."

Actually, the textbook definition of CPR is mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, though what techniques may be appropriate for hamster rescue is anybody's guess.

Too bad Sen. Kerry didn't have his trusty 8mm camera along to reenact his hamster heroism for posterity.

"Recovered memory" perhaps?

Ah, the Peta bunch must have been in tears. The other day Prager had an enviro nut delegate on his show who said she would save her cat before she would save President Bush. Nice bunch of caring souls the Dems are.

She failed to mention that for the next outing Kerry had secured little tiny water wings for the hapless hamster.

U.S.O.C. member:

You know...he'll have to be tested for performance-enhancing drugs. Just 'cause he's a rodent, don't think that he'll be treated any differently.

(Commissioner is handed five thousand dollars in hush money.)

Alright, his story checks out. IT'S OFF TO ATHENS FOR YOU BOY!

Ingrid Newkirk is insane.

And I'm not talking about that phony type of insanity feigned by Howard Dean in order to appeal to the Democrat's core constituency.

I'm talking, "her mind has left the building" insanity.

Which, I've got tell ya, is just the skill I'm looking for in a President!

They are trying to show that Kerry has a warm human side--you know, the same guy who didn't want to ban partial birth abortion.

This is a very important issue for all of the registered voting hamsters this coming November. Perhaps even to likely voting hamsters and to undecideds.

I think you mean gerbils.

Honest mistake.

Barney Frank:

HOMOPHOBE!!! I'm going to tell that homosexual brothel owner-who just by coincidence happens to operate his illegal male prostitution ring outside of my house-what you wrote. HOMOPHOBE!
