Only in an election year ruled by fiction could a sissy who used Daddy's connections to escape Vietnam turn an actual war hero into a girlie-man.

Frank Rich is absoltutely hysterical -in all sense of the word....His advice to Kerry is er...priceless. Long read, but worth it.

[The Great Yazoo]

Maybe George W should challenge Frank Rich to a duel. Or at least a fistfight.

I wouldn't bet against the "sissy."

[Rutles4Ever]

This is a waste of precious bandwidth... that said, nothing like a good joke like Frank Rich...

[Inwoodian]

I think that maybe I should worry. Nobody knows more about being a sissy or a girly man than Frank Rich. This is a real first-class hissy fit.

Wonder when this was this was going to be posted?

[nyconse]

Sorry guys, I had to excerpt...I figured keep it short since I had to excerpt anyway- use up less bandwith

[Mr. Jeeves]

A Great Dane vs. a French Poodle, by the looks of it...

[Elpasser]

Sissy, huh? I wonder how many jet fighters that Frank Rich has flown by himself?

I love it. The Dems are getting shriller with each passing day ... which turns off more swing voters ... which makes the Dems get even shriller .... which turns off more swing voters ... which makes the Dems get even shriller...

It's the mother of all political implosions.

[nyconse]

The reason I posted this is that I felt that Frank Rich thinks Kerry is in deperate trouble...of course being terminally stupid Frank thinks Kerry should stand up to his anti-war activities in order to show his manliness. This is really quite funny. I hope Kerry takes the advice. Anyway, I think we are beginning to see the media turn on Kerry...they hate Democratic losers even more than Republicans.

[nyconse]

I love hearing the Dems whine...I love the smell of desperation in the morning, at noon, in the afternoon, at twilight...etc, etc. (hehe) Hey trolls I know you are monitoring Free Republic. Take this you sissies. Even your media boys know Kerry is a loser (ha,ha).

[RockinRight]

W would pummel little Frankie, just like he's gonna pummel Kerry in the debates and at the polls on November 2.

[Restorer]

brilliantly engineered by the president of the United States

Youse guys need to get your talking points straight. Last week Bush was a moron.

[6SJ7]

"Now now, Mr. Rich. You know you aren't supposed to leave your room without permission. Now be a good fellow and put back on this nice white jacket.... Yes, I know the arms on the jacket are a bit long. It's supposed to be that way... Too tight? Oh, well, we don't want you hurting yourself. Now why don't we just go back into your nice padded cell and you can watch a little TV. Hey, look, Fox News is on.... "

[nyconse]

Nurse...we need more lithium. Hurry...Now Mr. Rich please remain calm. Repeat after me, 'there will be other elections'. Now, let tell you about a little prayer...it goes something like this God grant me the serenity to accept that which I Can not change'...Yes, Mr. Rich (soothingly)it's John Kerry's fault he lost the election-not the Democrats, the New York Times and certainly not your fault.' There, there (Rich is weeping uncontrollably). LOL loved your post!

[hflynn]

LOL. Frank is definitely Rich.

[tbpiper]

Youse guys need to get your talking points straight. Last week Bush was a moron.

They may evenutally settle on 'politcal idiot savant', or some such 'nuanced' explanation.

[Finalapproach29er]

FRich is just defending the honor of his paper after w attacked the NYT. Right? I'm sure its nothing personal:)

[Big Digger]

Have to hand it to the NYT. They have all of their evil spawn thoroughly brainwashed with their ideology and emotional instability no matter where they publish their rants. Have another drink and shut up Frank, you girly reporter.

[nyconse]

I like that girly-reporter. OK I'm stealing it...LOL
