Crybaby Kerry
American Spectator ^ | 21 nov 07 | R. Emmett Tyrrell, Jr.

Posted on 11/21/2007 4:55:11 AM PST by rellimpank

WASHINGTON -- Most informed Americans have heard about "anger management counseling." It is a widely prescribed therapy for those who lose their temper uncontrollably in public or in private or while watching the Hon. Henry Waxman pretend to be the late Andrei Vyshinsky, prosecutor at the Moscow Show Trials. Well, during the past few days I have been following the Hon. Jean-Francois Kerry's (D-Mass.) controversy with Boone Pickens, and I believe I am in need of "laughter management counseling." Every time I think of this ponderous stone-headed senator bellowing phony pieties, I suffer a dreadful agitation in the funny bone. I only hope that my health insurance is applicable.

Pickens should offer to pay him $10 million if Kerry can provide support for ANY of his lies in his traitorous testimony.

Seems like Kerry merely said “these claims are false” and expects the check for that!

I have a measure of respect for ANYONE who wears thew uniform. But Kerry himself made his service a central issue, and then refused to release his records. His fellow veterans - who also served, and much, much more honorably - have every right to speak their minds on this.

And what was that issue regarding Kerry’s discharge being reviewed or updated or whatever in 1977? did we ever get to the bottom of that?

Really, any doubts about MSM complicity in Democrat schemes has to fall in the face of their refusal to ask the tough questions. And the kid gloves treatment of Hillary makes the Kerry coverage look downright hostine!

I heard Pickens yesterday on Sean Hannity talking about this and he doesn’t expect to ever have pay Kerry anything. R. Emmett Tyrrell has also nailed Kerry’s chutzpah and it will be interesting to see if Kerry ever coughs up anything other than bluff and bluster.

What I find most disappointing about all of this is that Kerry’s enablers in the treasonous MSM will not be carrying this story. I guess seeking the truth of a story isn’t part of their business practices.

Pickens is perplexed that the majority of Kerry's fellow Swift Boat pilots from Vietnam ... have been made out to be liars.

Does anyone recollect how Kerry and the MSM managed to pull this off? It's similar to the discrediting of Gary Aldridge and his allegations.

I’ll admit that I experienced a feeling of dismay when I read Kerry’s “just one thing that can be proven false” line. I wondered how Mr. Pickens could have left so large a hole in his challenge language.

But now I wonder, if the Swifty’s allegations are nothing but a pack of lies, which is (as I understand it) the essence of Kerry’s position on the matter, then why hasn’t Kerry come up with one already? Maybe even come up with two, just to stick it in Mr. Pickens’ eye; then claim that he is welching on “just one thing.” Then they could argue back and fourth, Kerry yelling to the media that Pickens has no honor (which the MSM would jump on with glee) and Pickens arguing that Kerry know full well what was meant by the language of the challenge, and is now using sophistry and legalisms to wriggle out of on a technicality (which argument the MSM would ignore).

But now I wonder... Where is the one falsehood Kerry says he will find among the Swifty’s allegantions? He has to find his one in order to hoist Mr. Pickens on his own petard. Surely that won’t be difficult to find among the Swifty’s manifold accusations. In fact, I would have thought that Kerry would have a prepared list, all ready to go, ready to shoot back at Pickens by return mail. Yet day after day passes, and no rejoinder, no example, from Kerry? Why is this? It’s a mystery.

My personal observation is that the MSM and the democratic hacks made comments in the media that were never really argued effectively or confronted by anyone as fiercely. Also the alternate media would see a few flaws in some of the characters and let that over weigh the large volume of personal and documented evidence.

Kerry had no evidence as he would not allow full disclosure. But lets not allow facts to get in the way.

O’Reilly,(yes I know} was even critical of them. I found this unusual as when there is evidence he seems to jump on things. He jumped on the wrong side, however, not really hitting them hard but treating them as if they presented no evidence.

I really don’t think enough media people really believed them to go to the mat for them.

I recommend we send the link below to Kerry so he can actually allow others to see his military records.

So that means that Kerry's “just one thing that can be proven false” line is simply more tendentious BS, dishonest nonsense, based on a false premise, just schoolboy foolishness from a foolish schoolboy senator, a pseudo-intellectual wannabee from the home state of pseudo-intellectusl wannabee-ism, Massachusetts?

OK. Duh, I guess.
