I have watched the Boston Marathon, and as I said, My friend ran in the Boston Marathon, and when you run 26 miles non stop, you remember it. It even takes you days to recover.

Any clear evidence to show Kerry did not run?

That's not the question. It should be:

EDWARDS: Listen, if it’s 26 miles, it counts.

Not on the treadmill, pansy boy.

Edwards, much as I dislike him, has run some real marathons in respectable times.

[ In an ESPN interview, he said, "I ran a marathon back in '80, something like that. Did the Boston Marathon." ]

Yeah and he's a double-ought spy too.. Jethro Kerry is just a big ol' north eastern liberal psuedo-communist lug... and his daddy Jeb Kennedy and granma the Grannybeast are just out shootin for some food and up out of ground came a bubblin a buttload of sedition, treason, and propaganda from the main stream media outlets.. HOO-WE.. says Jeb.. I figure we'll move to Hollyweird... and git culturated... Jethro bone up on yer cyphers.. Granny load the truck..

(Eddie Murphy laugh) First the moron Al Gore and then John freepin Kerry.. and Bob "welfare pimp" Dole couldn't even get the pitty vote.... and Georgie Bush really does take after Alfred E. Nueman somewhat... I'm tellin ya a bi-partisan sitcom could make a fortune if there even was such a thing as bi-partisan... which there isn't.. only ones that beleives that myth are republicans..

Which marathons, and what were his times?

http://www.bluestatesforbush.com/ Follow up notes: 9/29/04. According to Hal Higdon's Boston: A Century of Running, (page 193) from 1975-1979, runners in Kerry's age group would need to have run a 3:00 marathon in certified race to be accepted as an entrant in the Boston Marathon. In 1980, that standard was dropped to the virtually unattainable 2:50 minutes.

Although as an "unofficial entrant," Senator Kerry would not have had to complete a marathon in a qualifying time.

One last thing that every Boston Marathoner knows is how long did it take you to get to the starting line? Before the advent of time chips for your shoes there was always this running argument between runners about whether or not to count the time it took to actually start your run.
Being a back of the packer 1 year it took 12 minutes, the other 8 minutes.

I've finished 10 marathons since the late '70s. I was a middle of the pack runner in all of 'em, but the finishing times for each of the races are seared, seared in my memory ...

I was going to ask if any of the other garbage he spewed out to ESPN was true. Already we have another discrepancy with the bike race.

Anyone want to bet he's not licensed to fly all those aircrafts either? Or ANY of them maybe?

He reminds me of Commander McBragg:

At Yale, Kerry became a stunt flyer, a pursuit he continued until recently. He learned aeronautics in the Navy, and is licensed to fly commercial aircraft, gliders and seaplanes.

Horse manure! Kerry was in the tin-can (destroyer) Navy and the brown-water (river patrol) Navy. He was never a brown-shoe (aviation). What would aeronautics have to do with destroyers and Swift boats?

I am hereby offering $50,000 to anyone who can prove they ran with John Kerry in the Boston Marathon.

I HEREBY CLAIM THE $50,000, I ran with John Kerry in 1980..no it was 1981, wait it was 1983 I remember now..yeah that's the ticket 1983...

He was so concerned about missing a day in the Senate I remember that well...he took his pet hamster with him...his daughters cheered him on...he had his $5,000 custom made jogging shoes and outfit...

I have some documents to prove it, I will fax you copies of the doc from Kinkos..

ps what type font was in use in 1983?

The guy is a pathological liar...

Sorry, I don't have time to track it down now.

I had read at one time that Edwards finished 5 marathons, including the Marine Corps Marathon in Washington. His best time was supposed to have been about 3 and 1/2 hours. (I believe it was in an issue of Runner's World.)

This is the World of Commander McKerry Your hair will curl in the World of McKerry. He fights monsters galore And then asks for still more Or so says the brag of McKerry. When on the hill the marines plant a flag They may be led by Commander McKerry. With a cannon in hand He can beat any band Or so says the brag of McKerry. Fencing and fighting and round table knighting And slaying of dragons, too. Shipping and sailing and great harpoon whaling There's nothing McKerry can't do. Hunting and trapping and gold miner mapping And flying to Timbuktu. Roping and riding and Indian guiding Commander McKerry comes through. This is the World of Commander McKerry Your head will whirl in the World of McKerry. He can do anything In his world he's a king Or so says the brag of McKerry

"he's a flatulent windbag..."

Yep...reminds me a lot of ol' Algore with his self-aggrandizin' memory of his supposed achievements. If Kerry'd really run the Boston Marathon, I gotta bet he'd have pictures that wouldda somehow made it into his campaign.

Heck, not intending it a boast but I can even recall my mile times when I approached four minutes (4:12 best in October 1984).

I've never been an athlete, but I remember my time for the one-mile run I had to do to pass my Army PT test.

When you run your first Boston Marathon, you remember not only the year, but the day, your time, and the weather!!!!!
One who doesn't remember, Did Not Run The Boston Marathon!!

That's all I can find concerning his fictitious marathon run. Put the fairy tale in the same book as Christmas in Cambodia.

There were probably some secret military missions that involved Kerry flying an aircraft. He can't tell us about those secret missions. /sarcasm

Or it might be another made up story to show that George Bush isn't the only candidate who can fly. - Tom
