But Kerry just stood there nose to nose, staring at us with a semi-glare on his face. After an eternity, an aide stepped out from behind him and said, "The Senator needs you to move." You know what's really sad? The two old coots will probably vote for him anyway.

After reading this, Kerry seems like a real jerk. AS if we didn't already know, but still...He's not just a leftist dullard, he's a jerk.

"Are the American people sooooooo dumb that a Hollyweird star could SWAY them??"
Half the American electorate has an IQ of 100 or less. And almost all of them, if they vote, vote democrap. (For an approximate reference point, think of an IQ of 100 as the guy who calls in to a radio sports-talk show after the loss to share his sudden insight on the team's need for a late-inning reliever.)

...the self-admiring inertia of windbag multilateralism. Thanks for the ping Pokey.

That's why he doesn't brag his real name is Jean Francois Cheri. Its not exactly popular beyond the rarerified confines of the Fleet Center hall in Boston.

Ping--this has got lots of good zingers about Kerry in it. Must read the paragraph toward the end about Kerry during primary season.

Skerry was in a position to know this stuff before Bush was. Skerry played the political showman by voting for what most Americans wanted and then distancing himself when the casualties started to make people waver.

It was interesting to see Ben Affleck emerge as the Hollywood mascot of the Democratic Convention. The week reminded me of Ben's movie Pearl Harbor: wall-to-wall evocative military imagery, a cast of thousands, superb production values, but a huge gaping hole where the star performance was supposed to be. Only Mark Steyn could utterly destroy Affleck and Kerry with one sentence. Every word written after that was just piling on. (Of course, that's perfectly fine with me!)
I wish I could write like that!

WHAT COULD HE HAVE MEANT, "ENERGIZE", PERHAPS,INSTEAD OF "ENERVATE"?
To: Pokey78
It's subtler than that with Kerry: you don't have to sit on him; just the slightest political breeze, and his pillow billows in the appropriate direction. His default position is the conventional wisdom of the Massachusetts Left: on foreign policy, foreigners know best; on trade, the labour unions know best; on government, bureaucrats know best; on defence, graying ponytailed nuclear-freeze reflex anti-militarists know best; on the wine list, he knows best. This is the best!
