The Kerry Syndrome
Townhall.com ^ | 29 September 2004 | Jonah Goldberg

Posted on 09/29/2004 6:28:59 PM PDT by concretebob

"When your horse is drowning, it's a good time to change horses in midstream," John Kerry declared this week.

KEYWORDS: draft; kerry; plans; secret
Another great column from Mr. Goldberg. IMHO The only reason sKerry calls them "secret plans" is because he can't prove they exist.

You know, that would make a GREAT campaign commercial:

Run clips of all the times John Kerry has accused President Bush of having a secret plan to: privatize Social Security, slash social services, wage nuclear war, fix oil prices at the Saudis' behest, cut VA Benefits, cut education funding, send jobs abroad and, of course, bring back the draft. Then, say something like: But who's really got a secret plan that he won't tell anyone about? Then show that clip with Stephanopolus when he says he has a plan, but he won't tell anyone what it is.

That would be sweet!

If they were cellmates, Kerry would be doing Bush's laundry by now.

"When your horse is drowning, it's a good time to change horses in midstream,"

No kidding, I thought he was getting ready to resign the nomination. Perhaps this is a line from his concession speach.

The metaphor was more elaborate than that, being in two parts. I believe he said "If your horse is headed over the waterfall, or if your horse is drowning." So he changed metaphorical horses in midstream, perhaps suddenly realizing that the first image hardly supported the wisdom of the proverbially futile remedy.

The Kerry playbook should be subtitled, "I know you are but what am I?"

LOL
