Stick a Fork In John Kerry--He's Done

John F. Kerry still dreams of becoming the next John F. Kennedy, but he’ll never even reach Ted Kennedy heights, or is it depths?

Not that anyone would ever dare tell Liveshot this. Seldom is heard a discouraging word when you’re a 62-year-old gigolo married to a 67-year-old gold digger worth close to $1 billion.

Ever more delusional, Kerry still fancies that his next job is commander-in-chief. He refuses to face the reality that he’s already well into his final role on the public stage.

He has become the Mike Dukakis of the 21st century.

John Kerry, reporting for doody - er, make that, duty.

The twilight of John Kerry is nicely sketched in an amusing new story about him in GQ, by a writer named Michael Crowley. Everyone in Massachusetts, including his ostensible supporters, knows what a complete fraud Kerry is and always has been, but it’s nice to see the news again reaching a national audience, even if it’s just in a fashion magazine for fops.

Poor John. Lately he’s been on his foreign tour - don’t ask me where; all I do is read the headlines, roll my eyes and immediately turn the page - and he’s still getting slammed back home.

One of the set pieces in the GQ story concerns a speech Mama T’s boy toy made at Georgetown University. It was pretty good, the writer says, but then the junior senator began taking questions from the students.

“The pain of it all came rushing back,” he writes. “Kerry’s responses were brutally long-winded, as if he were intent on slowly suffocating their earnestness with leaden filibusters. Eyes glazed. Yawns unfolded. Even the kids at the mike shifted their weight impatiently.”

Anyone who has ever suffered through a live appearance by Liveshot knows exactly this feeling. After 22 years in the Senate, the scion of the Forbes fortune is an empty suit’s empty suit, a windbag di tutti windbags.

Here’s another quote from the GQ piece, from an anonymous Senate staffer:

“There is this weird cognitive dissonance. You see Kerry in the Dirksen (Senate Office Building) cafeteria getting a salad, and you think, You were inches from becoming president, and now you’re getting your own salad. And it’s not even a good salad.”

Thank God - and the late Sen. Heinz’s trust fund - the junior senator will soon be back in his Sperry Topsiders biking down Hulbert Avenue on Nantucket, and if this parvenu wage slave had ever been to the Chanticleer Inn, he would know that their lobster salads are . . . to die for!

The GQ story mentions a radio interview in which an NYU professor says Kerry said he thinks the 2004 election was “stolen.” Apparently Kerry’s office denies this, but everyone here knows Kerry’s people have been saying the same thing for almost a year.

Amazing, isn’t it? The guy loses by 3 million votes, and he thinks it was “stolen.” It’s beyond cognitive dissonance. If his second wife hadn’t inherited a billion dollars, guys in white coats would be sneaking up behind him with a net.

But Kerry is running again, it’s his destiny, it’s why his initials are JFK. That’s why his equally crazy younger brother Cam Kerry wanted to run for secretary of state this year, to set himself up to run for what would have been the open “Kerry” Senate seat in 2008.

Anyway, it’s a funny story in GQ, and I can only hope it’s read by one group of people in particular - Kerry’s fellow snot-nosed, trust-funded Birkenstock-wearing layabouts who refuse to peel those absurd Kerry-Edwards bumper stickers off their new Volvos.

There are more Kerry Edwards bumper stickers in Fairfax County than there are registered voters.

Thanks Tonk for getting the word out. Always thought that the "false vet" (guy who has never been in a uniform, but has the audacity to try and make ordinary people pity his sorry but as a war hero) jerks should have been tried for fraud and sedition. They only show up when they want to make the country bad.

The jerks that have been in uniform as officers aren't they still subject to UCMJ? Officers are different than enlisteds in final seperation to what degree? I always thought once an officer, always subject to recall as an officer? Under this same set of laws, can we prosecute f'n skerry for false claims to killing,torturing and burning of civilians in Vietnam, due to an agenda?
Like to see him and Murtha dancing together in congressional hearing on this one...we'd set the dimorats another 40 years!

stunned a Boston paper would write this

Repeat after me:

Boston Globe -- Bad;

Boston Herald -- Good.

There is no way I will vote for McCain or any Democrats either. If neccessary I will vote in only state and local elections.

Who was the guy who bragged (before the election) that MSM support was good for 15%?

Evan Thomas, Newsweek. If that is indeed true, the GOP will have a hard time winning any national election. I think the MSM is not as powerful as it thinks.

And remember the "Bash Bush Book of the Week Club"? Those attacks were so bad sometimes that the surprise was that Bush was drawing more than 3%!

Again, I think you overestimate the impact of the MSM. The real reason is that this country is truly divided politically. The difference numbers wise is not that great. Elections are won by those who can get the greatest turnout.

Kerry is a scion, on his mother's side, of the Forbes family of Massachusetts, not to be confused with the Edinburgh by way of New York Forbes who's most prominent member is Steve.

Well, thank goodness we cleared that up! :)

" just assumed it stood for his favorite expletive. =0)"

I think it is our favorite expletive when describing him.;^)

Here in Southern California I still see Kerry Edwards stickers on cars all the time. I also see a few "W" stickers. But the Kerry Edwards stickers, they just make me LAUGH!

[buffyt]

GREAT LINE! LMAO!

[buffyt]

Sounds good to me. I'd love to see Kerry and Gore dukin' it out.
Yes, the dems would be banging their heads into walls in complete frustration, and the rest of us would be laughing so hard we couldn't see straight. Bring it on!

Yes, indeed, THAT would be FUN! Much more fun than just nominating the Hildabeast!

[buffyt]

And Kerry would say during a speech "I've got your back!" I think he was trying to make the lower middle class and the truly poor people that HE planned to share his Heinz money with them. And of course he was just blowing air!

John Kerry, reporting for doody - er, make that, duty.

Er, make that dooby!

[Graymatter]

By the way---did Kerry get all leathered up and go on the Tonight Show riding his motorcycle, shortly before the primary season? Or did I just dream that?

Kerry's legacy in a nutshell! Gotta be the quote of the week!

Dean is not in congress. If you want to count people outside of congress, we have guiliani, condi, jeb bush, schwarzennegger, lynn swan, mitt romney (utah olympics), uberoth, (MLB commissioner, LA olympics), etc. Fact is, regardless of your stance on the issues, our guys are more accomplished people than their guys are.

[staytrue]

A lot of the problem is probably Boston where the worst of the left-wing nuts congregate

They are not left wing nuts. They are Irish Catholics who suffered a lot of discrimination in the 40s-60s who value the first Catholic president Kennedy. This is also why Kerry is alledgedly catholic and used to pretend to be Irish.

post 101, too funny, lmao.
