"Did I hear there was an extra doughnut?"

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., got a little hot under the collar about Rush Limbaugh's analysis today suggesting Republicans are better friends for Israel than Democrats.
"Rush Limbaugh s ignorance and willingness to divide Americans knows no bounds," Kerry said in a formal statement on his website just hours after the show ended. "His latest statement about Israel is beyond offensive to all of us who have fought to protect Israel in the face of enemies committed to its destruction."
What did Limbaugh say that got Kerry so bent out of shape?
Limbaugh said the most frequent guest in the Clinton White House, besides Monica Lewinsky and the campaign donors in the Lincoln bedroom, was Yasser Arafat. He called President Bush the best friend Israel ever had in the White House.
"Rush Limbaugh needs to pick up a history book instead of a doughnut," Kerry added. "It was a Democratic president who first recognized the State of Israel. It was a Democratic president who first sold Israel defensive weapons. And it was a Democratic president who first sold Israel offensive weapons."
Kerry continued: "The people of Israel and the Jewish community don’t need Rush Limbaugh to tell them who stands with them, and no one has time for right wing trying to score cheap political points while Israel fights to defend its very existence."
Arafat all but endorsed Kerry in the 2004 presidential election.
Arafat deputy and chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat told WND in an exclusive interview that while "we do not involve ourselves in internal American politics," at the same time "our region has been sliding deeper and deeper into chaos because of certain policies over the past few years, and this needs to change."
While he would not directly endorse Kerry, it was clear Erekat was implying the PA wants a change in White House leadership: "If things continue the way they are, if certain policies toward our region are maintained in the years to come, there is going to be a lot of violence on both sides."
A prominent Arafat aide who asked that his name be withheld spoke to WorldNetDaily from Arafat's battered Ramallah compound.
"The president [Arafat] is frustrated with Bush's policies," he said. "The president [Arafat] thinks Kerry will be much better for the Palestinian cause and for the establishment of a Palestinian state."
Kerry coveted the Jewish vote during his race, but also made a point of going after the Arab-American vote – telling each side what they wanted to hear.
In October 2003, he told the Arab American Institute in Michigan: "I know how disheartened Palestinians are by the Israeli government's decision to build the barrier off of the Green Line – cutting deep into Palestinian areas. We don't need another barrier to peace. Provocative and counterproductive measures only harm Israelis' security over the long term, increase the hardships to the Palestinian people, and make the process of negotiating an eventual settlement that much harder."
But a week before the New York state primary, he told a Jewish group: "Israel's security fence is a legitimate act of self defense. No nation can stand by while its children are blown up at pizza parlors and on buses. While President Bush is rightly discussing with Israel the exact route of the fence to minimize the hardship it causes innocent Palestinians, Israel has a right and a duty to defend its citizens. The fence only exists in response to the wave of terror attacks against Israel."
Now he's bashing Rush (spilled coffee on the DNC talking-point-fax-o-the-day that said "Bash Bush")...
But wait! There's more! Wasn't he Jewish all along???
"Simple,KERRY HATE JEWS! He Just Likes Woody Allen and thinks Israel should be just like Woody"
A disgrace! Even more so because Kerry himself is of Jewish ancestry, and his brother is a practicing Jew.
*Initiated hegemony over the Mid East region for which America is so famously hated for. (Roosevelt)
*Double-crossed Prince Faisal, via Gen. Marshall, by telling him the U.S. would vote against the partitioning of Palestine into an Arab-Israeli land and then voted yes. (Truman)
How's them doughnuts, John?
"Did I hear there was an extra doughnut?"
Well, to be sure Rush is overweight. Just not as large as he used to be.
Nevertheless, a gigolo senator who fancies himself an aristocrat should not be making fat jokes.
If you are fat you can diet. If as is Mr. Kerry you are stupid, well not much can be done.
Would you mind explaining this? I thought Lieberman was a US senator from Connecticut.
Kerry is as empty as they come. Aside from self aggrandizement, he has nothing going for him.
Kerry thinks the rat party still represents the working middle class instead of the limo-libs, socialists, the pervert alliance, union mafias, and the hate the military crowd.
He is the JUNIOR senator from M ASS!!!

It certainly seems to run in my family....
Rush Limbaugh needs to pick up a history book instead of a doughnut," Kerry added. "It was a Democratic president who first recognized the State of Israel. It was a Democratic president who first sold Israel defensive weapons. And it was a Democratic president who first sold Israel offensive weapons."
Uh, right Senator. But "History" can be a b*tch.
The SS St. Louis Finally Docks
..the ill-fated SS St. Louis ship, which embarked from Hamburg on May 23rd, 1939 carrying close to one thousand Jewish refugees seeking a safe haven from the hellish nightmare erupting in Europe.Each of the SS St. Louis passengers carried a visa to Cuba, yet they were nevertheless denied entry there. The United States and Canada also turned away the human cargo, which included families with small children. The ship sailed the seas for three weeks, desperately seeking a country that would give them asylum. For five days, the SS St. Louis sailed along the sea shore of Florida. Yet, nobody wanted the Jews. Instead, the ship turned around and headed back towards Europe where they were granted temporary entrance into Belgium. Nearly half of the passengers of the St. Louis perished in the Holocaust.
Lemme see... who was President in 1939? Darn, its right on the tip of my tongue... oh yeah Democrat ...FDR!!!
Yep, Dems are the best friend jooooooz ever had. /s

Buy a Palestinian flag and mail it to Kerry. "Here, you and your little liberal friends can use this. We Republicans don't."
