If you watch the clip where Kerry brings her up by name, you can almost see his thoughts, 'Oh, God, what did I just say! Well, I have to finish, but I could kick myself.'
EXACTLY! You could see him pause when he said, "she is a.... (at this point he recognized that he was screwed because his lead-in left him nowhere else to go)...(visible sigh)..lesbian". At which point, he knew he'd unalterably stepped in it.
Great debater? Ha! A man who knows all the nuances of debate, but makes fatal errors in revealing his severely-flawed inner nature is not a "great" debater.
And Kerry walked out of the place with it stuck to the bottom of his shoe.
"Great debater? Ha! A man who knows all the nuances of debate, but makes fatal errors in revealing his severely-flawed inner nature is not a "great" debater."
That is very said. It really is a matter of defining 'great'. I just hope most people recognize it.
And then, to top it off, Kerry insults Moneybags TerAYsa by giggling about marrying rich, really, really rich! And no mention of loving her beyond description. He'd better start worrying about where he'll sleep tonight.
