The little Hampster was never quite right after that? That life saving chest pounding that daddy performed might not have been life saving. I'm betting that Kerry hated the thing, excited the dog and the events all fell into some logical order. A hampster in a cage has no business being on a dock in the sunlight, going fishing.
I was listening to either Rush Limbaugh or Sean Hannity yesterday and they played the snippet of the hamster anecdote, then commented, "I'm sure Ted Kennedy would have done the same thing." Only the liberals can tout John Kerry saving a hamster from drowning as qualification for public office, while insisting that Ted Kennedy leaving a woman to drown does nothing to disqualify him for public office.
