In the biggest fight of his charmed life, John Kerry swung between bewilderment and anger when things didn't go his way on the campaign trial.
"I can't believe I'm losing to this idiot," the Massachusetts Democrat sighed to a staffer when President Bush's poll numbers surged in April.
"Why the f--- didn't he take it?" he wondered when Republican Sen. John McCain refused to be his running mate a half-dozen times.
"It's a pack of f---ing lies, what they're saying about me," he shouted at an adviser as a group of Swift boat veterans stepped up attacks on his Vietnam War record while his team refused to let him respond.
Those are some of the behind-the-scenes stories from the year-long race for the White House revealed in a special Newsweek report out today. The magazine says Kerry's courtship of McCain to be his vice presidential candidate was far more intense than the public realized.
It started in August 2003, but kicked into high gear after Kerry nailed the nomination. He even offered to expand the veep's role to control defense and foreign policy. "You're out of your mind," McCain told Kerry. "I don't even know if it's constitutional, and it certainly wouldn't sell."
Kerry seemed stunned that McCain rebuffed him "after what the Bush people did to him," referring to the 2000 GOP presidential primary.

Can you believe the MSM will not give Bush OHIO, IOWA, NM...even the state of IOWA has given their state to BUSH!!!
I'm no big fan of McCain, but reading this article and how McCain shot Kerry down did make me smile.
He should probably go to one of the countries in the world where the elitist rule. America was the first and still is the only country where it's the people who rule.
MAN, would I have LOVED to have heard that 6th or 7th call to McCain!!!! ROFL!!!
Anybody who watched that midnight incoherent showing in Ohio after the Republican convention knew this guy was a mental case.
Machiavelli's idiot stalker...
2) I have to say that was pretty impressive. Kerry tried to exploit their "friendship" by splitting him from Bush and then hand him lots of power. Not many politicians would turn that down. Cheers to McCain.
Ah yes, the pack is already turning on the injured leader. It won't be long before they reveal his true military records, stories about Teresa and his relationship. The media is going to begin going for his throat. It's what pack animals do.
Gotta give McCain some credit for saying that.
Maybe, but I lost all respect when McCain turned his back on the Swiftees. McCain was a POW. He knows how much pain Kerry caused. Why didn't he come to the defense of the Vets and POW's against Kerry?
Nothing more to add, Senator.
Even McLame has this much sense.

Nice potty mouth... it's no wonder Teresa won't kiss him.
Possibly because that idiot has a higher IQ than you do, Senator.
I think it's really funny that he got really mad when Brokaw asked him about the IQ estimates. He cannot grasp that there are at least as many legal US voters who think that he is a dummy as those who think W is--maybe the whole 3.8 million. ;)
"I never had sex with that woman, Ms Lewinski"......Bill Clinton.
You should put this up for a caption...
Simply put...yes.
