Crazed Dumbocrats are now pointing the finger---not to say which finger----at the dum-dums who caused Kerry's ignominious defeat.

One story surfacing predictably points to Bill Clinton, and also fingers Alexandra Kerry's see-through dress, and the juvenile actions of rapper Sean Puffy Combs. Reports say Kerry's daughter "made a splash at the Cannes Film Festival last spring when she appeared on the red carpet in a see-through dress. Kerry campaign insiders snipe that all she did was rack up major expenses. She had an entourage of five people with her everywhere she went. A hairdresser, makeup artist, publicist and two assistants.
It ended up costing something like $8,000 a month. And she didn't exactly do anything.

Sean Puffy Combs the rap mogul made national headlines with his "Vote or Die" effort to get young voters to register and vote. But they never materialized at the polls. "He was just a nuisance," the Post quotes one Kerry aide as saying. "The whole thing was a joke. No one outside of New York or L.A. gives a hoot about this guy. All he did was get himself press."

The reports say Clinton and his top fundraiser DNC's McAuliffe caused the disaster and that Clinton's emergence in the closing days of the campaign "energized" the Republican base.

Yet to be fingered is goofball spouse Terayza who was the campaign's gay-loving mama, intent on staying coherent---unsuccessfully--- through the long, arduous campaign, by popping pills AM to PM.

Then there was foul-mouthed Whoppi Goldberg---"America's (gag) soul"---as Kerry called her. Whoppi got Dixie Chicked out of her job as Slim-Fast spokesthing b/c of her salacious remarks against GWB.....and the fact that Slimfast stock dropped a couple billion.

And how 'bout No-bounce Eddie VP wannabe who failed to unite a country hopelessly divided between non-aerosol hairspray and hard-to-hold styling gel.

Not to mention big-buck loser---Soros---who dropped some $25M into the losing effort ----although US taxes were funding this somehow, either through tax evasion, NPO and/or hedging schemes.

Now, if you want to piss off a dem, let them know that Kerry didn't lose (because in the dem utopia, no one ever loses)...he just came in second place.

Hahahahaha...Kerry didn't get the Oscar..just got nominated.
Great article. Pretty well sums up flyover country.

Wrong. Really don't think J Jacksons antics had much to do with it as much as Hollywood's overall left leaning rancor did.

Gotta second that resistance to the 'Wal Mart voter' notion. I'm well-off, highly educated, not religious, registered independent, and pretty moderate on social issues.

Ditto. I think it's interesting all the stereotypes the media is trying to use to marginalize the importance of the red states votes. It's just another indicator that they need more "foreign correspondents" to tell them what's really going on in this country. It would be much more effective than continually parroting each others columns in the echo chambers of New York and L.A.

I have never heard of any politico slaughtering an animal for bald political gain.

I'm still shaking my head over Kerry's decision to do that. All he did was infuriate his base for zero gain - I can't imagine a single gun owner being fooled into thinking that Kerry was "pro-gun."

That Kerry didn't realize that this photo-op was such a loser is yet another reason why we are so fortunate that he didn't win.

I, too, thought it very hypocritical of PETA not to condemn the killing of that goose (even though, God knows, they can be annoying). I e-mailed PETA asking them why they didn't have a statement regarding this and I got back the message below:

Thank you for contacting PETA about political candidates who engage in blood sports. Please understand that PETA certainly opposes any activity which causes intentional harm to animals, including hunting and fishing.

As a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, educational organization, PETA is prohibited from participating in any political campaigns or endorsing a particular candidate or party. However, we encourage you to contact the candidate or party that you are interested in directly; ask the party representatives for their position on animal rights, and tell the candidate that animal rights issues will influence your vote.

What a cop-out.

Maybe worse was his earlier political slaughter of that beautiful pheasant, and gloating over it.

Like Buffett or not, he and Alan Jackson had one of the biggest country hits of the year with It's Five O'Clock Somewhere. His presence at the CMAs was appropriate.

"an indication of his [Kerry's] superficiality and his ignorance about the country he hoped to lead"

Being intellectually superior has it's drawbacks .. these kind of people LOSE THEIR COMMON SENSE; believing instead they have the answer for everything.

I don't think Kerry shot it...I think it was probably pre-emptively killed. It wasn't floppy - rigormortis had already set in. Sorta like Kerry himself!

kerry did himself in.

Yep.

He even flip flopped, presented contradictory images of animals. Save them (hamsters) kill them (geese).

I still say he didn't shoot either one of those birds. What real hunter lets a companion get photographed carrying his kill?

"When CNN's Aaron Brown was asked if he could isolate a tipping point in the campaign, he said it was the moment, during last year's Super Bowl halftime show, when the bodice of Janet Jackson's costume "accidentally" ripped..."

Bull. Kerry was behind in this campaign from start to finish. There was no tipping point. America has passed the point where a Northeast liberal can be elected president.

Note: Hillary Clinton is not from the Northeast.

Did Kerry have a Roman cleric read the poor bird's entrails to see how he would do in the election? If so, the reading had to be poor. By the way, who got to eat the bird or did they simply throw it away like they did the lunches they ordered but did not eat at Wendy's?
