After Staging Photo-Op 'Hunt,' Kerry Refuses to Carry His Own Bird

Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry said he bagged a goose on his Poland, Ohio swing state hunting trip Thursday, but his real target was the voters who may harbor doubts about him.

Kerry returned after a two hour hunting trip wearing a camouflage jacket and carrying a 12 gauge shotgun, but someone else carried the bird that he had shot.

'Im too lazy', Kerry joked. 'I'm still giddy over the Red Sox. It was hard to focus.'

Although he claims to be an avid hunter, Kerry has never joined the 315 member Congressional Sportmans Caucus.

John Kerry, [however] has a 100 percent rating from the radical animal rights group like PETA and the Fund for Animals.

Oh, I agree totally.

I was just stating what I though their ploy was. No self respecting hunter I know will vote for Kerry even if he were to go to Afgahnistan and "hunt for Osama" personally.

I dumped all my medical equipment stocks in case Kerry/Edwards get elected somehow. I figure they'd become worthless stocks if there's no need for wheelchairs, walkers, and other devices. Did Edwards say anything about colostomy bags, prolapse harnesses, nail fungus, or erectile disfunction? Inverted nipples, uneven breasts, acne, or incontinence?

Just getting my outlook on medical plans, as if all that stuff is going to be cured, I'll opt out of my HMO since none of it is covered.

Of course I will need the mental health option since I will be completely insane with a Kerry Administration.

Ouchie man! That's so nasty it's rat-like.

[blackdog]

It's that higher good thing. It's quite the rage in liberal circles. There isn't much you can't dismiss away with it.

Any male that uses the word "giddy" is not a man.

When Terresa saw sKerry with the goose, she told him to stuff it

[hummingbird]

He had trouble "focusing" for at least 40 minutes (by his account) on 9/11 after the towers were hit. Maybe he's only "smahrt" like Fredo in The Godfather.

I'm surprised he didn't make a big deal out of giving the goose to some poor family -- say like Tiny Tim's. "Here's your Halloween goose -- and God Bless us, everyone!" SHEESH! And we thought Clinton was a 'toon!

[hummingbird]

Kerry = Chicken

If he's "skeerd" of PETA, how's he going to stand up to other terrorists?!

[hummingbird]

He's a fun killer not a true sportsman.

Doesn't sound like a healthy mindset....

[hummingbird]

This is what someone carrying a loaded 12 gauge ought to be saying???

There you go!

Beautiful Lab. Looks like the one we had for 13 years. Love those Labs. Don't have one now. We rescued a 2 month old from the Humane Society and she is the sweetest, most lovable, friendly, sweet natured, gentle little girl ever. I still miss and shed a tear for our Yellow Lab. He was a giant. :) Too bad this bold, strong, Lab has to be in the same photo as the "Giddy One."

[cubreporter]

Yes MANLEEEEE

[hummingbird]

Somebody ought to photoshop that so the flunky is carrying a pre-wrapped Butterball turkey...

Heh, heh, heh.....

[Casloy]

Kerry has to be the only moron running for office who thinks he can court the PETA folks and the hunting folks at the same time. Figures going out hunting will earn him the hunters and not carrying the dead animal will earn him PETA. What a cretin.

[justshutupandtakeit]

I hear Jean Fraud has joined a duck hunting club run by the Three Stooges, too.

[gopwinsin04]

Dont worry, the geese will majically come back to life if Skerry is elected!

[MayflowerMadam]

He has "people".
