The morning after the Feb. 3 primaries, which vaulted Kerry into a virtual-ly insurmountable lead, the candidate was fuming over his missing hairbrush. He and his aides were riding in a van on the way to a Time magazine cover-photo shoot. Nicholson had left the hairbrush behind. "Sir, I don't have it," he said, after rummaging in the bags. "Marvin, f---!" Kerry said. The press secretary, David Wade, offered his brush. "I'm not using Wade's brush," the long-faced senator pouted. "Marvin, f---, it's my Time photo shoot."

Nicholson was having a bad day. Breakfast had been late and rushed and not quite right for the senator. In the van, Kerry was working his cell phone and heard the beep signaling that the phone was running out of juice. "Marvin, charger," he said without turning around. "Sorry, I don't have it," said Nicholson, who was sitting in the rear of the van. Now Kerry turned around. "I'm running this campaign myself," he said, looking at Nicholson and the other aides. "I get myself breakfast. I get myself hairbrushes. I get myself my cell-phone charger. It's pretty amazing." In silent frustration, Nicholson helplessly punched the car seat.

I would have taken Bill Clinton anyday of the week over this guy.

My son and I were talking about the election this afternoon. I told him that as much as I despised clintbilly, kerry would have been a thousand times worse.

LOL, he is taking a class right now that played a PBS critique of clintbilly and Rwanda. I told him if PBS was critical of clintbilly, the truth was much worse!

[RBroadfoot]

You beat me to it! The Cumcumber's song adapted with Kerry's more intellectual language:

Oh! Where is my hairbrush?
Oh! Where is my hairbrush?
O where o where o where, o where ...
Is my f***in' hairbrush?

[Barset]

I just said the same thing to my husband. America dodged a bullet to the heart with this one. b.

I was wondering when a VeggieTales reference was forthcoming.

"Take care . . . Oh my hairbrush"


"You don't need a hairbrush you don't have any hair!"

Real men don't mind having their hair mussed. This guy is no ream man he's a total POS.

Somehow, though, the long-awaited Bush collapse wasn't happening, at least not yet. Iraq seemed to be in flames. At a press conference in mid-April, Bush told a reporter that, try as he might, he just couldn't think of a mistake he had made since 9/11. The press and the chattering classes hooted in derision. But Bush actually went up in the polls. Most voters seemed to like the president's show of resolve. Kerry was baffled. He said with a sigh to one top staffer, "I can't believe I'm losing to this idiot."

He just doesn't understand post 9/11 America.

[Stultis]

Now Kerry turned around. "I'm running this campaign myself," he said

LOL! I always believed that JF'n, and have often THANKED GOD that you were!

[GRRRRR]

Totally agree, the media is DELINQUENT once again in their failing to report on these types of personality disorders...did they know TuhRAYzuh had an "undefined malady" issue too???

He was pretty well nettled by this time, and he stood in front of a bureau mirror, brushing his hair with a pair of military brushes; it always seemed to calm father to brush his hair.

"But the fact is, anybody in the proximity of the campaign should've been able to observe for themselves (or, at least, sense) that Kerry's was temperamentally unqualified to be President."

Indeed. Everyone in his campaign staff put their Party before their country. They knew that JFK was unstable and unfit for the Presidency. They had to know.

Yet they said nothing, lest it hurt their short-term political aspirations.

"I get myself breakfast. I get myself hairbrushes. I get myself my cell-phone charger. It's pretty amazing."

Huh. I do that myself. I guess I should have been whining all this time. Personally, I wonder if he was this way on the Swift Boat... "I get myself breakfast, I get my own ammo, I have to pull the trigger myself, I have to wound myself. It's pretty amazing..."

In silent frustration, Nicholson helplessly punched the car seat.

F**k, Marvin. You shoulda punched that prissy little girl in the face, right before the photo shoot...

[Chad Fairbanks]

Thanks!

"I am on the road all day and I have this amazing contraption that plugs my cell phone into my car's cigarette lighter. My phone never dies. This guy Kerry wanted to be President of the United States of America?"

BWAAA HA Haa! Post of the day, man. Post of the F'n day...

[BWDog]

When the MSM provided cover for the Clintons and their cult of personality I felt disgust. Papering over this type of nonsense in post 9/11 America is irresponsible.

They're not worthy of the deference given them by McCain-Feingold. Other groups have to tone it down 60 days before elections. But that's OK, because we've got these "guardians" looking out for us and making sure we'll make an informed decision.

[okie01]

They knew that JFK was unstable and unfit for the Presidency. They had to know.

Of course, they did. But, after posting, it occurred to me that there is another explanation.

Specifically, to those who surrounded the Kerry campaign -- staff and media -- his behavior may have been perceived as "normal". It being exactly the way they would've behaved in the same circumstance...

As professional craftspeople, we spent years on the road doing trade shows. You lose stuff all the time. We would lose something like a comb or a brush and run out to Walmart or Target or ShopKo and BUY one.

This is beyond inane, IMO. I cannot imagine this idiot crafting any sort of policy. I blame his staff, actually. Who would ever work for someone like this, especially in a personal assistant capacity? Not for $75k a year and benefits. Not for $150k, actually.

If my husband pulled this sort of fit over a misplaced brush, he would suffer the dreaded eyeroll and realize it was time to pull up his socks, go buy a hairbrush and let it end.

Kerry sounds like a drama queen.
