John F. Kerry still dreams of becoming the next John F. Kennedy, but hell 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 youre 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 hes 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 its nice to see the news again reaching a national audience, even if its just in a fashion magazine for fops.
Poor John. Lately hes been on his foreign tour - dont ask me where; all I do is read the headlines, roll my eyes and immediately turn the page - and hes still getting slammed back home.
One of the set pieces in the GQ story concerns a speech Mama Ts 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. Kerrys 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 suits empty suit, a windbag di tutti windbags.
Heres 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 youre getting your own salad. And its not even a good salad.
Thank God - and the late Sen. Heinzs 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 Kerrys office denies this, but everyone here knows Kerrys people have been saying the same thing for almost a year.
Amazing, isnt it? The guy loses by 3 million votes, and he thinks it was stolen. Its beyond cognitive dissonance. If his second wife hadnt inherited a billion dollars, guys in white coats would be sneaking up behind him with a net.
But Kerry is running again, its his destiny, its why his initials are JFK. Thats 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, its a funny story in GQ, and I can only hope its read by one group of people in particular - Kerrys fellow snot-nosed, trust-funded Birkenstock-wearing layabouts who refuse to peel those absurd Kerry-Edwards bumper stickers off their new Volvos.
For those who "forgot" what Hanoi Kerry
did in the past read on and learn the truth.
Hanoi Kerry was still a USNR officer while he:
gave false hearsay testimony to Congress
negotiated with the enemy
helped the US lose a war
abetted in the deaths of millions
created a hostile environment for all servicemen

The GOP is blessed to have such horrible competition. Between gigolo boy and the beast the RATS don't stand a chance in 08.
Demonicrats are never more than one re-count away from power.
Even Mr. Cambodia!
He's history he's vapor.
Kerry, on his mother's side, is a Forbes. This is a wealthy old Boston Brahmin family. They are not related to the Forbes family of Forbes magazine.
Kerry was such a joke. He lied over and over about EVERYTHING. He acted and answered as if he was the cure all for every problem in the world. He was such an ass kisser. The best was his "crawling around on the belly" statement regarding hunting. It just goes to show how much these types think we are stupid. And that wife of his. I laugh recalling her speech at the convention. I bet he was so embarrased of her. What a yo yo. Its my bet she was over medicated. Him and that other loser GORE will be able to piss and moan together reminiscing about what flunkeys they turned out to be. Does Gore really think his act is taken seriously? Is this the best they have as spokespeople? No wait, I forgot about Dean ..YEARRRGH!!! Dems provide humour anyway,,Im laughing right now.

Kerry has sunk so low that he has resorted to blogging on Daily KOS. He posted his first entry on Friday. KOS himself, has confirmed that this is the real deal.
Kerry is a pathetic loser who just can't let his 2004 election whipping go
I grew up in MA and for the life of me, I cannot see why anyone, nationally, supported this guy. As Howie said, it is common knowledge in MA, both with Republicans and Democrats, that John Forbes Kerry is now and has always been an empty suit. Local Democrats make fun of him. He is a pretender, a poser, a fraud. What keeps him in the office he has is a total mystery to me.
I pray that Kerry will run again...and Howard will run again...and maybe even Gore will run again..
Thanks. I sent that to a friend in California. She'll get a kick out of it.
Toss Hillary into the mix and it gets even better.
Saw a great bumber sticker a few days ago, "Kerry lost, lose the bumper sticker."
Can you imagine a debate between those two? ROFLOL
