I know why Kerry is smiling.
Even the elephant's backside is better than Terayza's.

WASHINGTON - While arguments over the authenticity of purported Vietnam-era memos consumed the presidential race Friday, new poll results held little but bad news for Sen. John Kerry. advertisement The memo battle was the culmination of a week’s worth of disappointment for adversaries of President Bush: Forensics experts say that documents CBS News used in a story contending Bush disobeyed an order from his Air National Guard commander in 1972 are suspicious and may be fakes. Democrats had hoped the documents would damage Bush's re-election hopes. On Thursday, Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, one of Kerry's outspoken supporters, had said, "The documentation shows that the president was not being truthful. The president lied to the American people in the Oval Office." But as the National Guard document furor raged, Kerry confronted a welter of discouraging poll numbers in states from Ohio to Arizona. Even in heavily Democratic New Jersey, which Al Gore carried in 2000 by more than 500,000 votes, Kerry's lead over Bush had slipped from 20 points to a mere four, a new Star-Ledger/Eagleton-Rutgers Poll found. Given the poll’s margin of error, Bush and Kerry are statistically tied in New Jersey, just as a Gallup poll this week found they are tied in neighboring Pennsylvania. Polls are simply snapshots of a few days of respondents’ thinking, but Kerry cannot win the election if he loses New Jersey and Pennsylvania, which together supply 36 of the 270 electoral votes needed for victory. Where to compete Economists use the term “sunk costs” to describe outlays that have been made and can’t be recovered.

Hasn't it also recently been revealed that Tom Harkin has long lied about his Vietnam service record -- that he was not even in Vietnam, but in Japan? Has the IA press pursued this story? Or did I confuse Harkin's situation with someone else? I do not understand what IA people see in Harkin. IA people supposedly are "compassionate" and "caring," but Harkin is very clever, arrogant, and condescending.
On the plus side, an "expert" offered an opinion that John Kerry probably shouldn't be arrested.

Hey did you note the real headline on MSNBC..."A week's worth of bad news for Bush foes". Nice huh, when you look at it quickly it looks like bad news for Bush - Tinfoil hat? Maybe but headlines have more impact on the masses and News media know it.
It HAS been rather bad for Kerry.
Kerry had better hustle is he is going to Ketsup. Groan.
LOL!
That's an understatement if ever there was one.
Yes, but enough about CBS News already!!
"Hasn't it also recently been revealed that Tom Harkin has long lied about his Vietnam service record -- that he was not even in Vietnam, but in Japan? Has the IA press pursued this story? Or did I confuse Harkin's situation with someone else?"
Rush covered this today. Harkin had said several times in public that he was in Viet Nam. He was never in the country... He never got the service ribbon given to anyone who entered Viet Nam even once.
Even with the MSM carrying as much water as they possibly can, F'n cannot catch a break. Truth and justice are winning the day.
It's been Kerry bad for Rather.
As bad as last week was for Kerry, this week was downright August-esque, complete with the Jayson Blairization of CBS.
The backsplash of this forgery is forming an almost Perfect Storm for the immoliation of the Kerry campaign.
I can't get enough of this.
Rather will go to his grave insisting that the documents were NOT forgeries -- "damn the evidence, full speed ahead," says Dan, paraphrasing Admiral Farragut.
Another tradition of the sea is to go down with the ship, Captain Dan needs to go down.
I think you may have meant to say:
It's been sKerry bad for Rather.
(There. That looks better, doesn't it?)
It is calculated to afford us the greatest amusement.

Kerry has not really had a good news cycle since the convention. He has had bad ones, but what is becoming clear now is that he is having more and more "no news" cycles. He is being relegated to "meanwhile" status. He is positioned incredibly poorly at this time, with conflicting opinions putting him at war with himself. Now some might say that bad news cycles for the President make for good news cycles for him, but basically Kerry very rarely makes news now, and when he does, its bad.
I wonder if there's enough schadenfreude to go around at this point...
At this point it appears that John F. Kerry will be another footnote in history. Rich women with fat ankles will not necessarily get you where you want to be.. At another point he will prefer the mountain bike and solitude to the jet.
As for her, she will probably bounce him like an over inflated Wilson.
