(Smiling woman in back): "Oh, Loook! It's him!....
The Iowa Football guy!!!"
Compare and contrast -- W's eyes are on the ball, his hands are ready to receive it; Kerry's eyes are shut and he's afraid it will hurt him.
I voted for you before I voted against you!
Effin' - "Hello Ann Arbor.....How 'bout those Buckeyes?"
GMTA. Please see my post at #43.
"I was in Nam."
Back at Exeter my 4th term chums and I called this "Gridiron".
HEY....LOSER!
Hey Senator, you're in the right place. Did you know that IOWA stands for Idiots Out Walkin' Around?
"You spectators are here for one of those lovely contests right? I hope our team scores a home run. My assistant tells me that you Americans call this sporting event Football."
"hey Senator Big Teeth, whatttttttttttttttssssssssssssssssup"
I wouldn't have thought he would return to the topic of Swiftboats, either. But.....
Kerry: I'm prepared to kick Swift Boat's ass
RAW STORY
Published: Thursday September 14, 2006
Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) doesn't believe that Hillary Clinton has the inside track on the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination and says he would vigorously defend himself against new attacks by the Swift Boat team, according to an interview with The Examiner.
"I’m prepared to kick their ass from one end of America to the other," said Kerry, in a strong hint that he intends to run for president once again. In response to wide talk of Sen. Clinton (D-NY) being the favorite for the Democrats in 2008, Kerry says, "I don’t buy it. ... I don’t care what the dominant, conventional wisdom is today; it will not be the dominant, conventional wisdom in a year."
Excerpts of the interview and article, available here, follow:
# Kerry says the only reason he didn’t compete in more states in 2004 was that he ran out of money. He says this was also the reason he did not adequately respond to a series of devastating TV ads by Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth, a group that questioned Kerry’s service in Vietnam and criticized his later opposition to the war.
"I’m prepared to kick their ass from one end of America to the other," he declares. "I am so confident of my abilities to address that and to demolish it and to even turn it into a positive."
Kerry’s tough talk triggers laughter from John O’Neill, a fellow Vietnam veteran who helped found Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth and wrote a blistering 2004 book on Kerry, Unfit for Command.
"Well, he’s got eight times as much time to prepare for us as he spent in Vietnam," says O’Neill, referring to Kerry’s short tour of duty.
"Some day, you'll be President of the United States,
and I'll be Mr. Nicole Kidman."
Kerry: " My man servant usually keeps the commoners away from me."
Kerry: "Can I get me a shirt like that one 'round here?"
WOW!!..You had the neck bolts removed!!
