John F. Kerry - how can we miss him when he wont go away?
A lot of people in both parties are hoping that Americas Gigolo will run for president again in 2008 rather than seek re-election to the Senate.
Kerry would inevitably lose and be forced to retire to private life, after which Mama T would soon boot him out of all six of her first husbands trust funds mansions.
The next time we would see Kerry hed be back to sleeping in his old Bob Brest Buick.
That would be a happy ending, to be sure. Too bad its not in the cards. The problem is, the political calendar.
Heres how it works: Iowa caucuses, January 2008. New Hampshire primary, February 2008. Can we agree that Liveshot is not going to win either? So its over. So far, so good. But heres the hitch: After hes elminated, he has until May to decide whether hes going to run for a fifth term in the Senate.
What do you think hell do?
But no one will speak truth to power, as he likes to say. None of his coatholders dare tell the Gigolo that the gig is up. Why else would Rupert Murdoch suck up to Hillary Clinton? Why else would Bill Clinton sign to write a new book thatll be coming out in 2008?
Its hard to remember now, but Kerry first won an election with Mike Dukakis, and talk about the gift that keeps on giving - yesterdays newspaper read like a bad acid flashback to the worst of the Dukakis era.
A Dukakis judge - Peter Agnes - brooms a drunken driving case, giving the boozed-up killer of a 4-year-old boy 18 months in the slammer.
Two Dukakoid political operatives - Paul Pezzella and Paul Giorgio - are charged with voter fraud in Worcester.
The state Senate again refuses to cut the 1989 Dukakis tax increase it promised to rescind all those years ago. And the Town Meeting in Brookline - the Dukes hometown - considers a resolution demanding the impeachment of George Bush. The more things change . . .
Even now, the Dukes other legacy, John Kerry, moves restlessly through the airports of America, and the indignant question echoes through the land: Do you know who I am?
Heres a recent airport incident recounted to me by Col. David Hunt, U.S. Army (ret.), the best-selling author and Fox News analyst.
It was a Sunday afternoon about a month ago in D.C. that Hunt was returning from a convention, and Kerry was returning from, what else, a liveshot. Everybody was standing in line, waiting their turn to board the airline. Every passenger but one, that is.....
BTTT
My guess is that the SBV are going to hit McC on the MIA/POW issue.
"Yeah, now get the F out of my way."
Sure Kerry's likely to lose, but if you're in the top three contenders, it's still worth running. You never know when the front-runner is going to have a Dean scream or a Dukakis tank ride.
"Where can I get me a hunting license?"
Hunt's been on Howie's show a couple of times... Hunt likes him and busts his balz for being... 'well-off'. Hunt sounds like a guy you'd like to bullsh_t with over a couple of beers... and he IS funny.
yep to all of that! :)
Thanks for the ping!
you can buy it at the site I believe.
Thanks for posting this. I have often wondered what our world and country would be like if Kerry had been arrested for Treason and Ted Kennedy, his mentor had been arrested for sedition, and both had been tried and found guilty in 1971, Then both were hung and left on permanent hanging trees to rot outside the entrance to Congress.
"John Kerry went hunting today. He said he killed a goose. He didn't bring Teresa along because he was a little rusty and he was afraid he might kill the goose that laid the golden egg." --Jay Leno
"John Kerry met with the AARP. They were having their convention. He gave a speech, then Kerry introduced his retirement plan his wife, Teresa." Jay Leno
"In an interview in Harper's Bazaar, Teresa Heinz Kerry said she doesn't much care for the title 'first lady.' You know the way the campaign is going, I think you'll be OK. You got nothing to worry about." Jay Leno
"Teresa Heinz Kerry said today that only an idiot would fail to support her husband's healthcare plan. See I'm confused, I thought she was John Kerry's healthcare plan. And his economic plan, and his retirement plan. Am I wrong?" Jay Leno
"Homeland Security Director Tom Ridge said in a press conference that several of our major financial institutions are in danger of being hit by terrorists. When John Kerry heard about this, he immediately placed Teresa Heinz Kerry in an undisclosed location." Jay Leno
"Teresa Heinz Kerry has a book coming out. I believe it's called 'It takes a villa.'" David Letterman
"We're learning more and more about potential first lady Teresa Heinz Kerry. Very well educated woman. Did you know that? In fact she can say 'shove it' in five different languages." Jay Leno
"As you know Teresa Heinz Kerry has been taking criticism for telling a reporter to 'shove it' the other day ... Can you blame Teresa Heinz Kerry, really? I mean what's the point of having a billion dollars if you can't tell someone to 'shove it'?" Jay Leno
"Teresa Heinz is on the cover of Newsweek magazine. John Kerry said he first noticed her when she was on the cover of another magazine, Fortune." Jay Leno
"John Kerry's wife Teresa Heinz is on the cover of Newsweek magazine this week and they said that if he is elected president, she will be the oldest first lady in American history. But that doesn't bother John Kerry, he said, 'To me, she looks like a million bucks'" Jay Leno
"In his big victory speech last night, Senator Kerry said that he wanted to defeat George Bush and the 'economy of privilege.' Then he hugged his wife, Teresa, heir to the multi-million dollar Heinz food fortune." Jay Leno
great pic and jokes!
My parents once went to dinner at an Italian restaurant in London. The restaurant has no formal dress code, but people are expected to dress nicely, as it is quite a nice restaurant; my father was taking my mother there as a surprise.
Who should be there but Bill Clinton and James Carville. They were wearing jeans, Bill was smoking a cigar (which is a no-no in that restaurant) and their coterie were loud and making a mess of the atmosphere. The restaurant felt obliged to apologise to my parents and the other patrons.
Discipline, tradition, order, decorum - mean absolutely nothing to these narcissists.
Regards, Ivan
That's something I've wished all along but many thought it was better for HIM not to speak out??
Maybe if he had spoke out from the beginning they wouldn't have been so quick to jump on him over and over. No way to know now!
