NEW YORK -- Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry says he would discontinue the color-coded terror alerts issued by the Department of Homeland Security and find "some more thoughtful way of alerting America," according to an interview in Rolling Stone magazine.
"I think Americans, sadly, laugh at it," Kerry said, referring to the alerts in an interview to be published Friday in Rolling Stone. "They don't know what to do."
Kerry said he felt "a sense of bitter disappointment" by the ads run by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth that questioned his conduct and the medals he received as a naval lieutenant during the Vietnam War. But he insisted he and others had dealt effectively with the ad controversy, despite widespread criticism that his campaign had been slow to respond.
"Look, when people hold up something that's a complete and total lie, it takes a few days to show people and convince them. We did. They've been completely discredited," Kerry said. "I was surprised that the media, even when they knew it was lies, continued to cover it and treat it as entertainment."
Normally fit and athletic, Kerry said that the lengthy presidential campaign had left him in the worst shape he'd been in many years. And he lashed out at critics who made fun of his decision to windsurf during the Republican National Convention, saying "it shows how pathetic and diversionary they are."
As for pop culture, Kerry said his favorite songs were "Satisfaction," Jumpin' Jack Flash" and "Brown Sugar" by the Rolling Stones, and that his favorite album was "Abbey Road" by the Beatles. His favorite Vietnam-related movie is "The Deer Hunter."
A Bruce Springsteen fan, Kerry said he was "elated" that Springsteen had agreed to appear in several Vote for Change concerts promoting Kerry's candidacy.
"To have him out there is both a privilege and exciting -- I hope it has an impact on the outcome," he said.

Ping to Post #28.
Pastels perhaps.
Hot Pink if Homosexuals are being targeted for nuclear annihilation. Navajo White if Native Americans are being targeted. French White if we decide to just surrender to Al Quieda.
That is a hardball interview if I've ever read one... He must have been quivering in his boots at some of those questions...
Oh yeah. I'm quivering in anger just reading 'em.
The MSM doesn't seem to mind that they aren't getting the story or informing the electorate. OR demanding she release her tax returns. OR demanding that Kerry release his military records.
GOSH if Laura Bush had a "real job" the MSM would sure as hell be demanding she report where her money went.
It's not an interview it's a blessing.
It has the affect of turning one into a MSM cynic. (trust me I know!)

LOL
The MSM has a way of doing that!
Without reading the article, let me guess -- either TeKAYzah complained that the colors clashed with her wardrobe or the color-blind are threatening to sue under the ADA. Am I right?
Kerry tells magazine he'd dump terror colorsToo bad he didn't do that in 1971 when he marched under an NLF banner into Washington DC with the VVAW.

We have two candidates who both want to be President. I have the perfect solution. Mr. Bush has been President for four years, so let's re-elect him and take advantage of his experience as Commander-in-Chief.
On the other hand Mr Kerry says he knows how to solve the problems in Iraq. So, let's elect him President of Iraq.
This should be more to his liking since Iraq has twelve presidential palaces. This would be much more in line with his lavish life style.
All in favor say aye.
Bless You!

***...Kerry, in office only a few months and with no consultation with the administration or the State Department, decided to negotiate with Ortega. He and Harkin walked away from Nicaragua with an agreement for direct talks with Washington. President Reagan flatly rejected it. ...***
Thanks, bd. I like your friend's idea. Not sure how much the Iraqis would like it, but let's pack him over there and see what kind of reception he gets.
I missed in the story where he says just what exactly he would replace it with. is this another one of his "I have a plan" canards?
Thanks! I love it! And smarting butts on Nov. 3rd.
Based, of course, on the "Dyeing with Kool-Aid" Color Chart. Two birds with one shotgun shell, as it were....
