Kerry's Quagmire (another brilliant Steyn column)

The Spectator ^ | August 28 2004 | Mark Steyn

[Pitiricus]

I have no views on whether one or more of John Kerry’s bemedalled wounds from the Mekong Delta 35 years ago were self-inflicted — though the Kerry campaign, in its second big concession to his chastisers, now says his first Purple Heart-earning wound might have been ‘unintentionally self-inflicted’. But there’s no doubt every wound from the last 35 days is self-inflicted, beginning with the candidate’s disastrous decision at the Democratic Convention to play up Vietnam and play down Iraq, 9/11 and anything else that happened in the last 30 years. Since then Kerry’s shot himself in the foot so many times he ought to put in for a good dozen more Purple Hearts....

That democrat chart is proof they've become certifiably nuts. It looks like the type of convoluted psychotic fantasies put out by the Lyndon LaRouche crowd. Didn't the LaRouchees do a similar chart to "prove" the connection between the Queen of England and the Medellin Drug Cartel?

Sane people would see the straight-line, single-level connections between the Kerryites and their 527 attack machines. They won't obsess over the fantasized significance of the many times removed connections of the swifties.

Hey there it goes! Success! I had to reboot to get it to work

Thank you sir for the newspaper registration key.

You have done us a great service.

[68skylark]

Thanks!

Alternatively....

                    A fatigue be-medalled Beatle begging a murderer  .........

                   or perhaps discussing how to send Catholic charity money to the IRA

                   or "Why  did you leave Mary Jo in the Car?"

[bert]

Alternatively....

" Mary jo? I was drunk and she wouldn't put out, so I just left her in the car after it ran off the road."

[JennysCool]

Naw, they'd have to jump through WAY too many hoops to get H. on the ballot in the Nifty Fifty in two month's time. Besides that, do you think Edwards would allow it?

[TomGuy]

And is anyone demanding to see Kerry's paystubs for those periods he was in the Naval Reserves?

It is curious that the LibMedia are again trying to harp on GWB's NG service, while trying to completely ignore Kerry's service or lack there of.

‘About his service in Vietnam, is Kerry... Telling the truth 39% Exaggerating the truth 31% Lying 15%’

A Kerry guy spun that to me as great news: hey, only 15 per cent think he’s lying about his service record! Hang on, man, 46 per cent think he’s exaggerating or lying. Your boy’s negatives outweigh his positives on the sole issue you’ve chosen to define the man and his candidacy. Among independents — i.e., all those critical swing voters — 34 per cent think he’s telling the truth, and 48 per cent think he’s either exaggerating or lying.

He’s got a week off now for the Republican convention. If the Swift vets are still hounding Kerry by mid-September, he’ll be mired in a Vietnam quagmire of his own making. And, unlike the original, no matter how many hits you take, there’s no early release.

Brilliant

That excuse is about as bad as the trial balloon Kerry tried to float last weekend about Christmas in Cambodia being a secret CIA mission, 'thus, he couldn't talk about it'.

[coloradan]

No. "Mary Jo? Yeah, she put out, but then the b**ch got pregnant, so I got her drunk, crashed the car, and mopped up that problem."

[afz400]

"These people will fall for anything."
They fell for the bullsh*t about PT-109 and Camelot, and Marilyn Monroe and (on and on) - they fall for anyone with big hair and big teeth, believe you me. Most of them even fell for my Chappaquiddick story.

[stockpirate]

I think all that is required is a vote by the nominating committee of the D's

[Chieftain]

"hundreds of other Swiftvets loathe him, and many of them are determined to stick to him like DNA to Monica’s dress."

LOL!!
