Loser Alert: Kerry strikes out as Boston Red Sox leave him red-faced
The Scotsman ^ | 10/26/04 | NEDRA PICKLER IN PORTSMOUTH

Posted on 10/25/2004 5:53:42 PM PDT by bubman

SENATOR John Kerry’s efforts to portray himself as "just a regular American guy" suffered a blow this weekend when he comprehensively messed up the scoreline at a game featuring his beloved Boston Red Sox.

Twice on Sunday, the Democrat said he was basking in the glory of Boston’s 10-9 win on Saturday night. The problem was, the Red Sox won 11-9.

"Ten-nine, the Sox did fabulous," Mr Kerry said with a big smile as he ducked into church on Sunday morning in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

Inside, the minister asked worshippers to clap "if the Lord has done anything wonderful in your life this week", to which Mr Kerry applauded.

"I had a special reason to clap," Mr Kerry explained. "The Red Sox won 10-9."

Mr Kerry’s spokesman, David Wade, said the senator got the score wrong because 10-9 was the last update he got during his late-night flight to Florida.

The problem is, the score never was 10-9. The Sox won on a two-run homer, meaning they went from nine runs to 11. Regardless, Mr Kerry’s adviser, Mike McCurry, explained to reporters: "The senator had bad intelligence last night."

However, the confusion struck again within hours of his team’s second game.

Landing in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, the Democratic candidate bounded off the plane wearing his Red Sox cap to exclaim:

"Seven-one Red Sox!"

The Red Sox were winning 6-1 at the time. They went on to win 6-2.

You would think that the numerals 9 and 11 would have some kind of significance to this idiot...apparently not.

Hey Kerry....it's 9-11 stupid!

He will lie right to your face and then try to convince you that you are wrong. It is one of the main reasons I hate this guy and I think he is Phsycho.

And now we know he lied about being at the Sox world series way back whenever when he said he was only 30ft away when the ball rolled through whoever's leg....Actually he was in Boston at the Tradescenter at a RAT fund raiser..I guess he got bad intel about that too..What a wanker..and to think, new englanders are going to vote for this Sheila.

The sad thing about this is he has some of the brightest minds in the Democratic party working on his campaign and he is still a gaffe a minute... a little Ironic don't you think?

In one of the debates Kerry made a 'bad slam' in speaking of Red Sox, so how do they consider him anything to them. Because of Boston>??, hmmmm the Red Sox might want to consider voting for Bush.

Kerry is a pathological liar, and a sociopath. He may in fact be a psychopath.

It is clear that this man is way beyond pandering. Pandering is a character trait. This man is mentally and emotionally disturbed.

This guy is incapable of focusing on anything. If he can't get stuff like this right, why would anyone think he could get anything else right.

Oh, sure, he'd make a great Commander in Chief.

"Bomb North Dakota!"

"Are you certain of that, Sir?"

"Are you questioning me, you peon? Just do it."

Next day. "Oops. I meant to say North Korea. In fact, I did say North Korea. It's all your fault."

Kerry's disturbed, Kerry's disturbed,

Yes, he is the most disturbed,

Like we all know Kerry is psychologic'ly disturbed.

To the tune of the song from West Side Story, "Gee Officer Krupke"

hehehe..
