Kerry in Missouri: Fatherly advice gets tour on track (Talks about his farming experience)
Boston Herald ^ | August 7, 2004 | Noelle Straub

Posted on 08/07/2004 6:30:00 AM PDT by Land_of_Lincoln_John

7 p.m. CDT Thursday - cw-3At the capitol building in Jefferson City, Mo., the state where Mark Twain lived, Sen. John F. Kerry jokes that Huck Finn never wanted to grow up - just like some guys his daughters have dated. He laughs and hugs daughter Alex.

10:30 p.m. - The whistlestop tour halts in Sedalia, Mo., where some Bush fans heckle. Kerry tells his supporters to let them chant because they have only three more months to do so. Sen. John Edwards says his children are aboard and to please show some good Missouri manners.

Teresa Heinz Kerry tells the crowd she would be polite if Laura Bush were there. Kerry says Amtrak just informed him there's a train holding behind his, but gives a short speech anyway.

11:20 p.m. - Several hundred people line the tracks as the Kerry train does a ``slow roll'' through Warrensburg, Mo., population 16,430. Kerry holds 4-year-old Jack Edwards up so he can pull the train whistle as Bruce Springsteen's ``The Rising'' plays through loudspeakers.

12:25 a.m. Friday - In Harry Truman's hometown of Independence, Mo., Kerry and Edwards lean over the side of the train to shake hands as Secret Service agents hold on to their belts to keep them from falling into the crowd.

Friday: 11 a.m. - Wearing jeans, Kerry visits a farm in Smithville, Mo. Speaking to an audience sitting on bales of hay, he reminisces about clearing fields on his aunt and uncle's farm in Massachusetts. After Heinz Kerry talks about an organic farming operation she saw in Iowa, a hog farmer in the audience tells her that people in the hog industry ``freak'' when she talks like that because it sounds like she wants more regulation. Kerry and Edwards rush to assure him it's not so.

Apparently he's never heard the saying that "theres no such thing as a stupid farmer" if he thinks anyone believes him.

Monday Kerry visits Silicon Valley employees. Reminisces about early days programming at IMB, inventing the internet. Oh wait, that was Al Gores lie. LOL

I see crazy people

Kerry reminisced about bailing hay on his aunt's farm in Massachusetts? More like smoking hay. Dont get me wrong, I'm sure there are miles and miles of farm in Mass. But does anyone really believe he ever put in a hard days work.

Well its getting late here i need to get back to day dreaming about bailing hay in my aunt's farm in the Detroit suburbs.

The Kerry Campaign is getting lame. If Kerry wins, it will prove Americans are gullible.

It would be funny if someone threw him a curve about picking rocks.

"I remember the days of picking rocks, loading them on trucks to ship them off for processing"

Or

"I picked rocks and built my own stone boat. I loved fishing in that old boat"

A political cameleon, put him with a bunch of communists
and he'd be talking about his days as a young pioneer.

Put him with drugged out hippies and he's be saying,"Man,
did you ever fill a bong with cognac and then drink it, ugh!"

Put him with republicans and he'd say,
"I'm just a reflection of Youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!"

Senator Edwards, did you make that same request of your great good friend Whoopie. Your wife seemed to think their language was perfectly appropriate.

Sure would have been nice if those agents had simultaneously let go of those two turds...would have been priceless and even tho they would have lost their jobs, they would never had wanted for anything.

What gets me is they had to emphasize "wearing jeans". Is that supposed to make him more authentic, or something?

She is, of course, referring to the Kerry/Edwards tour that is shoveling BS at a frantic rate.
