"Now, if you break it, you made a mistake. It's the wrong thing to do. But you own it. And then you've got to fix it and do something with it." -- John Kerry explaining the "Pottery Barn" rule as it applies to Iraq during the first presidential debate.
And what exactly does someone do with a broken piece of pottery that was a mistake to buy anyway? Answer.
They throw it out.

I don't know why this is breaking news, but I heard today that the so-called Pottery Barn rule doesn't exist.
Welcome to FR... Feel free to lurk.
Seems like you are new around these parts....
Don`t suppose you know how to access bookmarks, I need them for some letters to the editors.
Kerry: "Now, if you break it, you made a mistake. It's the wrong thing to do. But you own it. And then you've got to fix it and do something with it."
Bush: "So, what's your thoughts on Viet nam vets protesting against that war with our men still in harms way?"
The US is doing some exterminating as it puts it back together.
I googled the rule, and Pottery Barn says their is no such rule.
Contains John Kerry's actual statements in his own voice covering both sides of major issues!
Turn your speakers up!
Just outstanding!!!
Ketchupman's way to fix broken pottery is to (1) ask the UN for permission to fix it, (2) gather together all his so-called political supporters for permission to fix the pottery, and (3) tell everyone it can be fixed then do a 180 and tell everyone it can't be fixed.
Do you know how to access bookmarks, I need them for talking points in letters to editors?
Did anyone catch the name of the writer that Rush was reading from today, noon Central Time. It NAILED Kerry. I didn't hear the name of the author. Freepmail me if you know.
Or you can go to a userid profile page and see what they have bookmarked. There is no universal bookmark, only those each individual sets up.
So Kerry grabbed one of the guards guns (which is a souvenir he owns) and backed away.
And this little ditty takes care of two of Kerry's GRIM fairy tales.
Thanks
FYI
Not only did he get the pottery barn rule wrong....it wasn't even a real pottery barn rule to begin with!!!!
From the Washington Times, April 20, 2004:
"St. Petersburg, FL, Apr. 20 (UPI) -- Pottery Barn of San Francisco says there is no such rule in its stores that if "you break it, you own it"....The real Pottery Barn, owned by Williams-Sonoma Inc. of San Francisco, said it is getting tired of the nonexistent rule being quoted in the news...
"It's upsetting and absurd that that analogy has been put out there," Oshirak. "You'd think that somewhere along the line they would have checked."
