Kerry's showing he just can't take the heat

''I have five words for Americans,'' he thundered. ''This is your wake up call!''

Seriously, the only thing the Democrats have left in their arsenal is massive voter fraud. There will be no pregnant chad left unmolested, no graveyard left unregistered, no activist judge left standing on the sidelines, no homeless person left sober and without a pack of smokes on November 2.

[SheLion]

That' exactly what happened with Algore! : )

Good Lord, we just can't get RID of these people!

[Right_in_Virginia]

So we have one candidate running on a platform of ambitious reforms for an ''ownership society'' at home and a pledge to hunt down America's enemies abroad. And we have another candidate running on the platform that no one has the right to say anything mean about him.

BINGO! ROFL ;^D

[Semper Paratus]

I wonder if effin ever tried out for Saturday Night Live and was rejected.

His appearance on "The Daily Show" took care of that.

Wonderful Steyn article... As usual for Steyn!

''This is your wake up call!''

Is that five words? Or is it six? Well, it's all very nuanced, according to whether you hyphenate the ''wake-up.'' Maybe he should have said, ''I have four words plus a common hyphenated expression for Americans.'' I'd suggest the rewrite to him personally, but I don't want him to stare huffily at me and drone, "How dare you attack my patriotism."

BWaaahhahahaa

[just me]

Thanks for the article I needed a good laugh this morning.

John Kerry and the VVAW helped extend the Vietnam War by 2 years, costing the US 10,000 to 15,000 more war deaths and untold an number of maimed wounded.

And all he and his friends can bellyache about is 500 coffins from Iraq?

[Bob from De]

During the 1971 debate on the Dick Cavett Show, John O'Neill asked Kerry how many of his "eyewitnesses" had backed-up their Winter Soldier "testimony" with affidavits. After Kerry's fumbling and stumbling the answer became clear....NONE. Therefore, these testimonials were no more than "stories". I believe Unfit For Command is backed-up by more than 60 affidavits!

[plangent]

Note that Steyn calls for release of the Kerry MEdical records.

Good reason for this is that Kerry may have a "Tom Eagleton" problem. Earlier posts have noted a condition caller para imsomnia, Kerry had to be led back to bed
for sleepwalking, Teresa notes he wakes up in terror, etc.

If treated in the Navy for a mental disorder, this would
finally lay Kerry to rest in his coffin.

If ''return to normalcy'' means four years of a grimly humorless, touchy, self-regarding Kerry presidency, I'll take the war

this man Steyn really is funny.

[mylife]

Hehehe I was reading along thinking "This is as good as Steyn" when I checked and saw that of course it was Steyn! L0L

[Graymatter]

Steyn, your giving me the Killdean Willies. That's the anxiety disorder I got from criticizing Dean when he was frontrunner. We all did it, could hardly help it, and we knew it would destroy his candidacy. We wanted him to win the nomination so bad, but we just couldn't resist. I remember asking people to cool it, save the jabs for the post-convention days.

Now you're telling the world that John Kerry has no content, that he just wants to be president. Please don't give the man any good advice, there's still time for him to take it. Don't interrupt your enemy when he's making a fool of himself.

It's a turkey shoot again, like it was with Dean, but let's keep this turkey fresh 'til 11/2.

[nicmarlo]

I can hear Kerry now (about the debates with the President): "Bring 'em on" (then he'll whine and cry afterwards, when he's made a spectacle of himself, declaring Bush to be "mean" and "devisive" etc.).

[Quilla]

Sir, that post knocked it out of the park!

I heard a Vietnam vet reiterating his time (over 2000 days) in the Hanoi Hilton with Roger Hedgecock on Rush's show yesterday. They piped in Kerry's outrageous charges throughout the prison identifying him only as a Naval Officer. He couldn't believe that was happening. He recalls hearing Kerry's voice early in the campaign and recognizing it as the Naval Officer in the propaganda audio. At the time, this soldier hadn't heard of the SBVFT, but was so proud that someone was bringing Kerry's treason (that's what he called it) to light.

Thank you for your service, Sir.

Wait until the debates. Holy Moses! President Bush will be all calm, and Kerry will come apart at the seams. I believe his true self will show through when he has to go one-on-one with President Bush.

All President Bush has to say is 'Nucuuuuuler'.

[CaraM]

Do you have a Mark Steyn ping list? He is good. Enjoy reading his work.

I think the UNFIT sticks

Everyone speculated when Kerry's 'Dukasis in a tank moment' would occur. I posit that it's the midnight tirade where he referenced 'unfit' to frame his response.

The guy is so Pavolvian about this term, that even subtle references to something unrelated could set him off, a la' Caine mutiny style.

I've been thinking of gettintg a bunch of copies made with 'UNFIT' printed on them to put on windshields of cars with Kerry bumper stickers.

[bitt]

Bush won't know which Kerry will show up at the debate. He will have to be prepared for several characters:

Nuanced sKerry
Drunken sKerry
War hero sKerry
Slimy Senator Waffler sKerry
Traitor behind the Scenes sKerry
Vampire, Unfit sKerry
