John Kerry on Late Show with David Letterman - Live Thread

Late Show with David Letterman ^ | September 20, 2004 | xjcsa

I haven't started one of these before, but I thought a live discussion thread might be appropriate. Post away!

[eyespysomething]

My Theory I've had since the Toro Boro thing:

We (me and my mouse) know where OBL is, but with a network this shadowy, they have to monitor him instead of killing him or capturing him. We have to know who and where and what and how and when.

[GoMonster]

did you notice he keeps licking his lips. that is weird

[mass55th]

"I think even Letterman is skeptical of him."

Yeah, Letterman didn't seem to warm towards him.

[Mo1]

That was just horrible .. Kerry did NOT help himself with that interview

[coloradan]

It's hard to be religious when liars like Kerry aren't struck by lightning much more often. Makes me think it's just us here, without the benefit of any supernatural power.

[XBob]

He said there could't be elections in Iraq. Then in the next section, he says, after elections in Iraq, he would start withdrawing troops.

So - he contradicted himself at least once, in 1 session.

[TheLion]

"Isn't he on the intelligence commity?

If he is on a committee, he probably never shows up. He refused to go to high level intelligence briefings about terror threats.

[mass55th]

"But then Mary Mapes might be writing his stuff...."

Or Bill Burkett.

[jbarkley]

I have to watch a little Britt Hume, it's like a political shower to wash of the Kerry stank.

[dead]

Now Greenday is going to come out and perform their anti-Bush trash "American Idiot" in which they explain how failure to agree with a bunch of half-assed punk idiots is tantamount to being a moron.

I'll watch it though, their drummer kicks ass. He's the best rock n roll psycho drummer since Keith Moon.

Plus, the singer is funny. He has a British accent, for no discernable reason. Like Madonna and Kathleen Turner.

[GoMonster]

i am sure someone in nebraska can give hagel a run for the money in the rep. primary. maybe tom osborne.

[faithincowboys]

BS, Letterman was complicit in all this. Everyone should stop watching his lame A$$ show too. I'll give Leno more ratings.

In addition, did we see the audience at all when Kerry was on?
I don't remember them ever showing them. I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't have an audience in there at all.

[Graybeard58]

Smoking wacky weed gives one "cotton mouth"..... Or so I've heard anyway.

[snarkytart]

>>>He's such a friggin liar. A consistent 5-10 points ahead for Bush throughout most of the country would have Kerry bumming some Melloril from Algore. Watch for a weight change in JFK over the next couple of weeks.<<<


The entire line of questioning makes Kerry look like a loser.
Emphasizing the fact he is down in the polls.

[worrywart]

Well, I will sleep better tonite after Kerry's awful performance. I was afraid he'd muster some personality and win over some of the undecideds.

I consider myself more up-to-date on the issues than any undecided voter would be. As confused as I am by what Kerry said, I can't imagine how befuddled an undecided voter must be after watching him!

It's called anxiety.

[jbarkley]

I don't think he's on the intelligence committe anymore, I think he's on the foreign relations committee, and he's missed about 2/3 of the meetings there as well.

[mass55th]

"he wouldn't answer any questions. "

How many days has it been since he's had a press conference? 40? 41?

[untwist]

Kerry is a man totally devoid of charm or conviction. You could see it in Letterman's face. He is stepping in a flaming dog turd when he keeps saying he's always been consistent in his positions on Iraq. This jerk can't even shine in a softball interview. He is a trainwreck waiting to happen in the debates.

[faithincowboys]

Someone needs to. He is so out of step with who we are. He seems to think it's his job to represent the NY Times Editorial writers. he's a complete embarrasment.
