Kerry Is Seared All Over

What else is "seared" into Kerry. For those unsure what "seared" means:

To char, scorch, or burn the surface of with or as if with a hot instrument

Let's take a look:

Martin Luther King Day Celebration Remarks

I believe we need to reclaim the kind of citizenship. It's a citizenship seared into me 30 years ago when I served with a band of brothers in Vietnam.

Interview with Krystle Russin

I have been really lucky to have had a lot of experiences which impressed upon me how important foreign policy is to people's lives and how it takes such up at dawn, personal effort to make it work. It was seared into me early as a foreign service brat moving around and living all over the place. When I was a little kid, I remember walking on the beaches of Normandy where thousands of young Americans died fighting for freedom. It was a few years after the war and my father was serving abroad in the foreign service. As we walked and my father pointed out burnt-out bunkers, exploded shells, and the skeletons of landing vehicles - I came face to face - at a young age - with the meaning of our nation's sacrifices.

Thirty-five years ago next month I was on a ship returning to the coast of California from my first tour of duty in Vietnam and the first crackling of the radio that I heard brought the news of Robert Kennedy's victory and then assassination. That moment was seared in me, as were the word of the poet that he quoted so often: Some men see things as they are and ask why; I dream things that never were and ask why not.

Well, Joe, I have seared in me an experience which you don't have, and that is the experience of being one of those troops on the front lines when the policy has gone wrong. (Applause.) And the way you best protect the troops is to guarantee that you put the troops in the safest, strong position as fast as possible.

THE CHEMICAL WEAPONS CONVENTION (Senate - February 13, 1997)

Now, Mr. President, one might reasonably expect that all those in this institution would by their study of history be aware of the occasions when chemical weapons have been used in conflicts and the horrifying effects that they can have and have had on both combatants and noncombatants, and one would think those with such an awareness would warmly embrace and applaud the successful negotiation and apparent widespread acceptance of this Convention among the nations of the world. The images, both visual and verbal, of the effects of chemical weapons have seared themselves into our minds.

We know the effects of mustard gas in the trenches of Europe in World War I. We know of the terrible effect of chemicals employed in the Iran-Iraq War. Americans have witnessed the anguish of those who served in the gulf war who are suffering from maladies that may have resulted from some exposure to chemical weapons amassed by Saddam Hussein in Iraq. Civilized people everywhere have been repelled by the effects of these horrible weapons. Indeed, that is what propelled us under a Republican administration to negotiate and then to sign this Convention.

More fun searing finds courtesy of John Kerry:

UNITY 2004 Conference

Where would we be today if it were not for the stirring images of the civil rights movement captured for Life Magazine by the camera of Gordon Parks; or the searing war-time photojournalism of Nick Ut?

Rosebud.

[Viet-Boat-Rider]

I appears that Kerry's brain is done, turn him over.

[Brian Mosely]

Don't you mean "seared?" As in "To char, scorch, or burn the surface of with or as if with a hot instrument"

[SisBoombah]

Sears Kerry right!

[kcar]

Well, hey, put common Kerry in a Sears-sucker suit just like the rest of us. Yes sah, he and Mastah Edwards are jes regular folk liken us.

[Roscoe Karns]

Kerry always reminds me of an old Hollywood movie characture of a pompous politician. I can picture him with his thumbs looped in his suspenders pontificating away like the insufferable bore that he is while some kid takes aim at his tophat with a snowball.

[Palladin]

He's half-baked.
