Are you more liberal than Karl Marx?

WASHINGTON - John Kerry shared a few laughs last night about Republican attacks on his war record and fired a few barbs President George W. Bush's way during a fast-paced interview on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show."

Kerry's appearance on the pseudo-journalistic show hosted by Jon Stewart, a favorite among young viewers, was the senator's first major interview since a Republican-funded group aired TV ads questioning his war record in Vietnam.

The venue was one Kerry avoided during the primary season, even as all the other Democratic contenders made appearances. Patrician and serious, Kerry didn't seem a natural fit.

JfKerry knows it is way too late for Humor! Did he sweat and imply, sometimes ya gotta laugh to keep from cryin??
The truth is serious stuff and it has him in it's sights and in our sites. God Bless America.

Anyone who has read even half of 'Das Kapital'will be the last person to call Marx a liberal-his views on class struggle,dictatorship of the proletariat etc are extremely violent(to be charitable).

A "Whoopie Cushion" is the only thing that might save his campaign now:

PPPPPBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUURRRRRFFFFF!!!!

On second thought, it might remind people of Whoopie Goldberg. The PPPPPBBBBUUUURFF, that is.

I read the entire article and this female sycophant/reporter makes no mention of John Stewart asking Kerry about his claim to have been in Cambodia. To which JK just stared him down with no comment.

This POS is a puff piece by one Ann Hoy. Thanks for reminding me why I must read the lamestream press same as Russians had to read Pravda (Russian word for truth). Between the lines.

"Does it mean sending kids to Iraq without body armor that's state of the art?"

I don't know John, your the one who voted against funding for things like body armor. This guy is beginning to make Mike Dukakis look like a genius.

Thanks for the INFO. I didn't see it.

Comments on Iraq War In Error, Says Kerry Aide - Apologizes for Remarks***"To the extent that my own comments have contributed to misunderstanding on this issue. . . . I never should have said the phrase 'in all probability' because that's not Kerry's position and he's never said it," Rubin said in a statement. "That was my mistake."***

Lean in and stare. Kerry stares him down. (Is this guy carrying a lethal dose of Botox® or what?) This is where Kerry is asked about Cambodia. I didn't see the show so I'm not 100% sure but that's my guess.

With BOtox, doesn't he look like that alien character from Babylon 5?
