Inside the Unit that Outwitted Kerry
NY Post ^ | November 3, 2006 | Niles Latham

David Ward said his daughter told him that while the picture was meant to be private, her unit is happy their message is getting across.

"When they saw and heard what Kerry said, they were just furious and they were sitting around and one thing led to another," he said.

The elder Ward said he completely approves of his daughter's message.

Kerry is a preening peacock and the best way to respond to him is with humor," he said.

Ward said his daughter was particularly incensed by Kerry's comments because her résumé is nothing like the "stuck" soldier the senator seemed to describe in his comment.

Heather Ward has 3 1/2 years of college credits in chemistry and biology and is about to graduate when she gets back. She hopes one day to be a radiologist, he said.

And what's more, she joined the armed forces soon after 9/11 because she wanted to help her country, her dad said.

"These aren't uneducated people with no options in life," he said.

Ward said his daughter read yesterday's Post online, and saw herself on the front page. He said she is the soldier holding up the far right end of the sign.

"She got a kick out of that," he said.

The picture drew heaps of praise, even as the military declared that the soldiers cannot talk to the press about what they did.

Bush press secretary Tony Snow told a Fargo, N.D., radio station that the photo was "wonderful and shows a great sense of humor."

On the Web site of the National Guard unit known as the "Red Bulls," the Kerry crack was hugely popular, as well-wishers flooded the message board with support.

I think its just a matter of weeks before Theresa dumps his worthless carcass. His shot at the 2008 nomination was just flushed down the toilet. I love it.

Yeah, that's the sad thing about this whole affair. Would've loved to see him on the stage against Hillary, Gore, and Edwards. That's popcorn-eating theater.

His shot at the 2008 nomination was just flushed down the toilet.

Howie Carr was speculating on how things are chez Heinz-Kerry -- "Hot tongue and cold shoulder" is his usual quip, but he doubts they're occupying the same house (of the five).

Teresa (in an interview, I think during the 2004 campaign): "Oh, yes, you have to have a prenup. You can be as sensitive as you want, but you have to have a prenup."

Maybe. Maybe not.
We've all seen the Dims do some pretty unbelievable things.

I agree. He's not going anywhere. He's too stupid to get the message.

This would just be a great time for President Bush to visit those troops & give them all a Commendation of some sort!

For Kerry that would be the final blob of ketchup plopping from his bottle like the dung of a thousand elephants...

BWAHAHAHAHAHA...

"This is the time for a really futile gesture!" Bluto

That became a tagline for me and my barracks mates at my first base-right before we did something purty ignirint involving copius quantities of cheap beer, loud music, and a new guy or perpetual target.

canceling appearances such as one to the home state of the sign-writing soldiers.

The irony of that is absolutely delicious.

Hanoi Boi screwed up in Vietnam when he failed to consider the bursting radius of an M-79 grenade. He screwed up a second time when he failed to consider the bursting radius of a "botched joke." This failure to work hard and do his homework is going to cause him to be "stuck in the Senate."
