Q: What did the balloon say to John Kerry?



A: "I don't fall down..."

"Three words will suffice: one billion dollars."

Earned by Republicans, spent by DemonRats.

I was hoping he'd talk about his nickname for Teresa-- the African Queen.

If he really wanted to properly introduce himself to the American people last night, why didn't John Kerry [related, bio] use his trademark line, the one he has employed for so many years around here, whenever anyone calls him on anything?

``Do you know who I am?''

ROTFLMAO!

Will someone please take Howie national? He's the funniest political talk show host and writer there is. It would be tough to give him up here in MA where he's one of the few voices of sanity, but I'm willing to make the sacrifice for the good of the nation.

He did a great job on O'Reilly last night.

Even the Democrats thought it was a lame speech.

For a guy whose main selling point is supposed to be that he is more articulate than the President, it was pretty sad - despite the fact that Kerry and his aides allegedly spent weeks going over the thing and tweaking it.

If Kerry can't even manage the speechwriting process well, how can he amnage the country?

If you used Kerry's speech to play the drinking game, where you take a sip whenever someone says a certain word, then you've probably got a hangover this morning if your word was ``Vietnam'' or ``fight'' or ``war.''

Howie was lurking here yesterday.

I like Carr for the insight he gives on Beacon Hill. The rotten dem graft and the stinking unions. His neighbors in Wellesley must hate his guts.

Strangely, pubbie commentators seemed to like it better than their dem counterparts. Perhaps because it was a speach, except for domestic spending, that a republican could have given (and meant it).

The dem strategy seems to be to disguise themselves as republicans. Will it work?

Yup, O'Reilly called Carr "Kerry's worst nightmare", or something like that.

Thank God this jackass convention is finally over!

""Three words will suffice: one billion dollars.""

"Earned by Republicans, spent by DemonRats"

Priceless symbolism.

Hee hee! Very good. That one can use repeating!

That's because he fumblingly seemed to half-agree with every Republican position.

And he didn't talk about fags pretending to marry each other or how great it is to stick scissors in the back of unborn babies' heads or any of the other pet liberal causes that turn Republicans off.

I don't want HELP or HOPE from the US government - I want lower taxes. Cut spending/Cut taxes. Put the gov. on a strict diet. On a tight budget. Like we all have to live with, well those of us who aren't billionaires like CASH & KERRY! We don't need bigger gov., higher taxes, more benefits, more entitlements.... Let the people keep more of the money we EARN. My husband worked, for example, this week from 6:30 in the morning until 11:30 at night, working on design plans for two big huge chemical complexes - Kuwait & Oman. He doesn't ask for HELP from the government. We would like to KEEP more of our money since we have THREE kids in college and WE pay for it.
As my husband says "We already have ALL the goverment we can afford!"

OK I will shut up now. But the tax increases CASH & KERRY are "promising" scare my socks off. Our budget is already as tight as we can stretch it.

It's 5:50 in LA and FOX is running the second commentator in a row to tell me it was a great speech, great body language, etc. and adding that they intend to spend the next week "asking Kerry questions".

I'm having a hard time thinking of FOX as being balanced just now, much less conservative.

I agree.

Wouldn't it have been great if he gave a speech about what dems really believe. Surrender, abort, and redistribute wealth (but not our wealth). Of course then they'd lose in a landslide.
