EXPLOITING MAX CLELAND
ax Cleland is remarkable. What a pity he allowed delusory left-wing flights of fancy and lust for power rob him of his nobility.
The irony and the tragedy of Max Cleland overwhelms.
Remarkably, Cleland did not become an embittered man when John Kerry's self-inflicted, bacitracin+bandaid-treated, tickets-out-of-Vietnam scratches were deemed worthy of three purple hearts while his three missing limbs were deemed worthy of none; this, even after insult was added to injury and he was dispatched to Texas to lend his phantom limbs to Kerry's self-serving cause.
Cleland became embittered, rather, because he actually began to believe the principal neo-neoliberal premise--the neo-neoliberal premise that undergirds all other neo-neoliberal premises--which is, that he was entitled to his Senate seat not because of his abilities but because of his disabilities, not because of his policies but because of our pity...or even our shame.
Cleland lost the election because he supported his party's union quid-pro-quo policy at the expense of America's national security. That his patriotism was challenged is a leftist canard. What was challenged was his judgment and ability to protect the people of Georgia and America against the post-9/11 realities.
If Max Cleland lost nobility last week, John Kerry lost any semblance of decency. Harnessing and fomenting Max Cleland's denial and bitterness, Kerry sought finally to bring to fruition his cynical 1971 scheme that would shamelessly exploit a crippled vet for his own self-aggrandizing purposes.
Today, with the following throwaway line, Brit Hume, Kerry's childhood pal, perhaps not so unwittingly revealed the core of Kerry's unfitness--the constancy over time of John Kerry's overweening opportunism.
Delivering the Kerry coup de grâce with the uptown refinement and politesse we've come to expect from him, Hume slyly observed: "John Kerry gave his 1971 testimony with a [Kennedy-esque] accent I didn't hear when I knew him as a little boy and an accent I haven't heard since."

I LOVE Kerry's hand gestures! You done good! It's as if the voice of Dick Cheney has him vewy vewy scared.
'If I take some crippled veterans down to the White House and we chain ourselves to the gates, will we get coverage?' 'Oh, yes, we will cover that.' "
--John Kerry, testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, April 22, 1971
,,, Max needs a campaign vehicle.
max cleland is not a hero. He has betrayed his country.
And about the same size too!
,,, they all sound like the perfect payload for that rocket on top.
Democrat Rockets are short.... and bent to the left.
That is one Bush bashing bus I would like to buy.
While scrap steel is bringing a good price.........
Current bid is $3000.00 bucks, way to high.
Max Cleland lost two legs and a hand in Vietnam because he was screwing around with a live grenade. I've heard he was drunk on Budweiser at the time but I'm not sure about that. What I am sure about is this: He did not receive a Purple Heart for his injuries because he was not under enemy fire at the time.
Max Cleland is living proof that liberals will exploit any- and everything for their cause...even the loss of two legs and hand. While I am sympathetic to Cleland for the loss of his limbs I think it's disgusting that the man has so little shame he allows himself to be described as a hero when real heroes don't get the time of day.
He should be ashamed of himself but I've always said to liberals the end justifies the means.
At that price they could throw in M Moores cap. I am sure it is stained with the same DNA.
,,, those things are bought by co-ops or hippie causes. Fifteen bucks a head and all the mileage you want without moving an inch... it's gotta be great buying.

Can you post a picture of the front and rear of that bus? Those Nip--- Er, headlights, kinda have that Janet Jackson look to them.
Hey Hair, are you still looking for something to pull your horsetrailer with? How about a bus, with a fan in the rear, to cool your horse?
That fan in the rear is a nice touch. Monica and M Moore prolly need a fan on their big rears too.

He's a [Clinton-esque] phony creep.
Or, take you pick, a creepy phony.
The definitive "DemocRAT."
Max deserves a medal for stupidity, and is no war hero. He is still angry and hate-filled due too his accident with a hand grenade. I am disabled myself, but one must remember when God closes a door he sometimes opens a window. Max needs to concentrate on the positive things in life and not be drug down with the naval exchange hero. I think the appropriate title for cleland is, "Mad Max Tripping In The Kerry-Dome."
