If Ive been following the campaign correctly, the typical John Kerry day involves an early-morning stop at Buds Truck Stop on Rte 103 at which the Senator orders a hot dog. Asked what he wants on it, he says an aubergine and lemongrass coulis. Afterwards, he heads to Idaho for a windsurfing photo-op to communicate his virility, after first flying out his stylist from Cristophes to mousse his hair into its windswept and tousled position. Following questions from the press on the cost of his hairdresser, he first denies that he has a hairdresser and then, when her curling tongs and rollers are pointed out in the back of his familys SUV, snaps, Shes not my hairdresser, shes the familys hairdresser.
Later, after a two-man luge run with his Secret Service agent ends with him falling off after 50 yards, he snarls, I dont fall off. That sonofabitch agent arched his back too high. Conceding that he was never in Cambodia on Christmas Eve 1968, the Senator says that those words were repeatedly placed in his mouth by over-zealous speechwriters. He wasnt in Cambodia, his wifes first husbands corporations wholly owned subsidiary was in Cambodia. But if George W Bushs Republican smear machine wants to make our service in Vietnam an issue, I say to them: BRING. IT. ON!
But they have brought it on.
Well, if they want to continue bringing it on, I say to them: BRING. IT. ON!
But your campaign has put out an ad that President Bush call it off.
Well, if he wants to make an issue of my begging him to call it off, I say to him: BRING. IT. ON.

Never in the field of political advertising has so much good been done by so few with so little as those 200+ swifties and their $100,000 or so in startup money. They really started Kerry's train wreck.
I'm laughing so hard, I can't read any more!
One diamond from the pouch.
Posting it 5 times is pretty damned Defiant!
<< Yes, I have Opera. It has a lot more features than IE, and I'd hate to have to give it up. Have you tried Mozilla? >>
I love Opera, too -- and have bought a copy for my every computer -- but, because of the query for apostrophy thingo it's not for copying and pasting docs!
And, yes, I've tried Mozilla and not two hours ago downloaded the latest [1.0PR] Firefox.
Thanks, by the way, for posting the whole Steyn.
Man'd go to bed thirsty on that other feller's sips of him.
Best -- B A
Thanks for the post. After reading a number of paragraphs, I was anxious for him to get to Kerry's 20 year "career" in the senate. I was not disappointed.
Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you.

Well yes.
There was that.
And then there was Kerry's total lifetime rejection of the concept of rigorous honesty.
AKA the Massachusetts Syndrome.
And the inherent good sense of the American Electorate.
Does this mean quidnunc needs to post 4 more snippets?
Yup, Steyn slices and dices Kerry....that line where Kerry's talking sports and the last -- 'French skiers'. Steyn didn't leave Kerry a fig leaf to hide behind. Devastating column.
It is indeed a great article. Well worth reading over and over!
I been away from the keys for a time, but full posting of Steyn should be the rule.
BRILLIANT!
It's da buttons !! ;-)
Yes. It appears as though liberals have become such ideological, brainless fanatics that defeating them is just as much fun as pointing out how silly they are.
I don't care WHAT they say about you, Meek. I like your version the best.
This waste of bandwidth is particularly.... Kerryesque. Makes you wonder if the other Kerry is posting on Free Republic just to get back at Mark Steyn!
Heinzian, even.
does it get any better than Steyn?
