10/9/2005 John Kerry’s Winning Strategy
“Go long!”
Our friends at Newsmax recently sent out an email alert that deals with, among other issues, a new behind-the-scenes documentary about the ‘04 Kerry campaign. This film looks hilarious, in large part because it was originally intended to reveal the winning strategy behind Kerry’s White House run. Here are some delightful details:
It may surprise you, but both John Kerry and Ted Kennedy believe Kerry is the frontrunner for the Democratic nod in 2008.
If the pair had any prayer of this, their hopes have been dashed with the release of a new documentary film made during John Kerry’s presidential campaign. Pundits say it has torpedoed any remaining chance he has of running for the White House again.
Kerry allowed filmmaker Steve Rosenbaum to film the inner workings of the Kerry campaign and what Kerry’s team believed would be a victorious run for the presidency.
“Hut …”
Now Rosenbaum has released the documentary, Inside the Bubble - and Democrats are likely to give it a decisive thumbs-down. “The film has made such painful viewing that many Democratic insiders - especially those close to rival 2008 candidates - feel Kerry’s hopes of the White House have been forever ended,” The Guardian newspaper reports.
Unflattering clips from the film show Kerry pretending to interview himself, and babbling in Italian as he waited for a real interview to begin. Senior aides are shown cursing and shouting at reporters. One shot shows Hillary Clinton rolling her eyes after Kerry slips up during a TV debate against George Bush.
In a bizarre moment, top Kerry aide Jim Loftus rants about an advance team’s inability to get a pony into a hotel room for a birthday celebration. He fumes: “When I was an advance guy, if someone said ‘get a pony on the 10th floor of this hotel in four hours’ … I would have said: ‘What color eyes should it have?’”
“He rolls out of the pocket …” On election day, as early exit polls pointed to a Kerry victory, Loftus hands over the data and remarks: “They have a word for that, and they usually write it in big black print on the front of newspapers and they call it a (expletive deleted) landslide.” Another aide comments: “I hear they are crying in the White House.”
Bush went on to win by three million votes.
The Guardian states: “There is little doubt that many Democrats (or many potential Democratic voters) will watch the film in horror. The impression is of a campaign and a candidate who did not really know where it was going or trying to say.”
Naturally I’m curious about the pony Kerry needed for his birthday party. Did Theresa know about this?
"Ah...fond memories indeed..."
LOL, those were good times, weren't they?
Proabaly becasue they're not too bright.
Look at Jesse, Al, Chuckie, Nagin, Blanco.
Their combined IQ is less than room temperature.
LOL...kerry's whiny cluenessness coupled with the worst of the worst campaign workers in his employ...LMAO! I love it. I can only hope that these morons also work for hitlery. HAHAHHAHAHA!
Can't wait to see the whole dvd.
Based upon this Dolt, There is no reason to post a long reply. This JO is dumber than a fire-hydrant married to a... ugly stoopid jerk.
Was that aide Baghdad Bob?
(Denny Crane: "Sometimes you can only look for answers from God and failing that... and Fox News".)
Why need a pony? They already had more then the number of jackarses hey needed.
This incompetent fool almost won!
Do you really believe we have nothing to fear from a half-competent Hillary Clinton?
Sounds like he rehearsed that line in front of the mirror.
Anyone that belittles a staffer like that in front of others is not worthy of anything.
He's still a creap.
Whoops... creep!
I like ponies. Not in JF'ngK's hands, however.
It may have been a relative. "Why the long face, JF'nK?"
Fellow Freepers,
I found 2 short clips of "inside the Bubble" If these 2 clips don't make ya smile then nothing will. His whole team was a complete joke. Hanoi John Kerry can kiss 2008 goodbye :) Here's the link:

Dog (Theresa) and pony show?

Give him a dang sheep. It's not like he looks at the front side...
Waiting to see the footage bump
The pony story is actually worse, if I'm not mistaken. Didn't they want to dress the horse up in women's undergarments, to play a prank in the hotel room of their campaign manager? I seem to remember this from the clip I saw.
And then that Dem creep committing career suicide on camera by berating his staff for failing to find the pony. It's beautiful.
Somehow, I don't think HBO (or Frontline, or Bravo, or...) will be clamoring to air this.
From the clips I've seen of it, that's actually a somewhat funny, almost humanizing moment. He's waiting for an interview to start, and he's joking with the cameraman. He "interviews" himself by asking some of the typical stupid questions reporters ask, and then he appears to be spoofing himself in his replies. That particular clip was funny.
The whole donkey in the hotel room thing was creepy, though.
