A bitter-sounding Sen. John Kerry dismissed the historic Iraqi election on Sunday, warning Americans not to "overhype" the watershed event."No one in the United States should try to overhype this election," Kerry told NBC's "Meet the Press." The failed presidential candidate questioned the historic referendum's legitimacy, saying, "It's hard to say that something is legitimate when a whole portion of the country can't vote and doesn't vote."
Kerry also pooh-poohed reports of a surprisingly high 72 percent turnout by Iraqi voters, insisting instead that the election has "gone as expected."
Asked if he thought Iraq was now less of a terrorist threat, Kerry at first said, "No, it's more. And, in fact, I believe the world is less safe today than it was two and a half years ago."
But he changed his answer moments later, after "Meet the Press" host Tim Russert pressed him on the bizarre claim.
"I'm glad Saddam Hussein is gone, and I've said that a hundred times," he insisted.
Kerry sticks his finger in his eye to fake crying...
He must be feeling depressed about his inability to tell the truth or be a meaningful presence in US politics.
The difference is no one believes him or the MSM any more.
He's no Alf Landon, that's for sure.
I saw Kerry's ugly puss on the tube on Meet the Press this AM, but refused to turn on the sound, as I knew whatever he was saying was inaccurate, indefensible, and irrlevant.
I get out of church this morning after watching my granddaughter march down the aisle with her Catholic school friends and the first thing I hear is John Kerry with Tim Russert. My state of grace flew right out the window.
UNBELIEVABLE !!!! NOT !!!
indeed. a "flip-flop" is no longer deceptive enough for kerry. he has invented the "trip-flop".
hmmmm .. Did I just see on FNC .. Iraqi's dancing in the streets???
The Sunday morning talk show thread details what Kerry said. Very negative.
Russert showed a picture of Kerry sitting in the stands at the Inaugural with Bush in the picture. Asked Kerry what he was thinking. Kerry said he though "I'm sitting in the wrong seat."
Kerry also said that but for a few votes, they would be taking about the State of the Union speech that HE would be giving next week.
Russert confronted him somewhat with the Swift Boat vets. MTP will be replayed this evening.
It's what the MSM 'news' factories do best.
Iraq: Kerry is no big deal.
Booby(I like it!) thought wrong yet again. I didn't hear him last week - I hit the mute button as soon as I see his face and reaching for it when he came out with this - he is one of the more dispicable faces of the democrat party.
I will surely be watching that.
Sounds like he has completely detached from reality.

Yes he said he was "near" the Cambodian border then said he was in Cambodia and still has the hat the special forces fellow gave him but couldn't remember the dates.

Your wrong about 1 thing. Their handlers are whispering in their ears. What Kerry & Kennedy & Dean are saying is exactly what the center of the Democratic now believes.
