Hey, I actually met Sen. Kerry in person!

I personally met Sen. John Kerry in Boston in 1992 at a Boston Northeastern University political science gathering and found him cold, aloof, unfriendly and condescending. In fact, the only person he was warm to was the token "gay" guy at the gathering. I guess I was not diverse enough to be talk to him in a social situation. Furthermore, my Syrian friend Khalid saw him groping women and acting drunk at the Harvard Club in Boston (yeah I know he went to Yale, but he IS a senator and can do that). And at an election year party in 1992 at the Weston Hotel which I attended (I was once a Democrat...gasp!) he would not shake hands with anyone who was not either in a 500 buck Dior tie or a dyke crewcut. Are these revelations of any concern to anyone sorry enough to have met the arrogant jerk of a man?

Ah, you get to be the semi-dispassionate observer from afar. Lucky you!

Good luck on helping steer your part of Western civilization to the right. Australia has just as much at stake as we do and I hope they're more generally aware of that!

He is directly responsible for the troops getting spat on when they came home.

Do you think the GOP and Rove will have the balls to bring this up in ads, or are we going to be the only ones talking about it?

Howard Dean didn't even have the brains or cajones to go after Al Sharpton after he was attacked in a debate for not having hired minorities to top posts in Vermont. When Rev. Al said "if you haven't appointed them, you should not say anything about race relations!" If I was Dean, I would have said, "and what about Tawana Brawley Reverand Al? Was blaming and vilifying two innocent white police officers of a sexual assault on a black woman which proved false YOUR experience in race relations? I am sure naming these innocent men as rapists on the air and ruining their careers was a major step in civil rights....or was it causing a near riot at Howard Beach your idea of healing rifts between the races?"

No, lucky me for living where we don't get SNOW... this time last year I was suffering winter in Connecticut!

Good luck on helping steer your part of Western civilization to the right. Australia has just as much at stake as we do and I hope they're more generally aware of that!

I'm not sure about "more generally aware"... frankly it makes me ill, watching some of what passes for "news coverage" here. But 9/11, and then October 12, 2002 (the Bali nightclub bombings) sure opened a few more eyes. Such a shame it had to happen at the expense of so many innocent lives, though...

Ooh, by the way - Welcome to Free Republic!

[FUMETTI]

I have heard that he vilified the Vietnam vets he supposedly had saved and fought aside. None of the soldiers knew if these "innocent" villagers had bombs or planted mines or guns on them, man, woman and child. It was war and for Kerry to indict these brave servicemen (which includes several relatives who took tours of Vietnam in the 60s) is reprehensible.

And now they are whining about how Max Cleland was treated in his re election bid? I mean, was he immune to being criticized for his votes because of his injuries? Did the Democrats ever think for a moment that maybe the reason why Max Cleand lost in Georgia was because he was a lousy, inneffective senator?

I'm glad you met this horse so you can now share this with us. Thank you. (My apologies to equines around the world. I meant no offense to you.)

[FUMETTI]

Heck, buccaneer, I would have gotten Morgan Fairchild's autograph as well! She was a real hotty before she made those silly Old Navy ads! My big coup will be getting a photo taken of myself and Page Hopkins of Fox News. Wish me luck!;-) (P.S., I am sorry Laurie Dhue, my loyalty is sometimes wavering).

[FUMETTI]

LOL! So far Rev. Al is the only Democratic candidate to have been in the cooler, although that vegan doofus Dennis Kucinich should have been indicted for destroying the bond rating of the city of Cleveland in only 2 years during the 1970s.

[FUMETTI]

Yes, the stories about Teddy K acting up there are legendary.

[ontos-on]

People say that his wife is even more arrogant and elitist than he is.

And why would that be? Because she became rich by marrying the Heinz fortune, then inherited it upon Sen Heinz's death. All the more to be able t osee an upstart, because as we all know, it takes one to know one.

[Alissa]

I never thought the American people would elect a draft-dodging, womanizing, person such as Bill Clinton. Why the American people elected Clinton is beyond my comprehension. I truly have no faith in the judgement of most Americans.

[FUMETTI]

I enjoy many cultures, but I am just a mere halfbreed of PEI-Canuck and pizan Italian blood! I did enjoy the many ethnic festivals in Boston but I found it very stultifying. I was a Democrat and felt the way the students and other folks treated conservative voices on campus. True story: In 1993 or so I attended a college lecture by Louis Farrakhan or one of his right hand men. Advocated separitism, spouted scary anti white and anti semetic statements, threatened white people "we will crush you" and then let THE Chuck D, the rapper from Public Enemy, to concur with everything he said. Any dissent was loudly booed during Q and A, and in fact a person decrying this idiot was shouted down and hit with rude "quips" and chants. It was insane, and this was just working class Northeastern University, not Harvard or MIT.

really? you sure sound multicultural.

You know, you don't even sound funny, besides picking on a typing mistake.

tough crowd!

[eeriegeno]

I take it that you don't like Pippy Longface, AKA John Effin Kerry, AKA the gigolo from Mass, AKA the war hero who protested the war that he was in? Will he change his name to John Kerry-Heinz if he is elected? We just got rid of a two-faced Sob president, we don't need another. IMHO, of course......

Asking Sharpton about Tawana Brawley..

Exactly! No one in the media has the courage to question Sharpton about Tawana. And, when Kennedy said our President has no moral courage, why didn't someone in the media recall Chappaquidic(sp?)? But, mostly, when Kerry, Kennedy, Levin are outraged about the uninsured, the environment and prescription drugs for the elderly, why doesn't ONE reporter ask each of them......and just how long have you been in the Senate??? If Mr. Kerry now has all the answers to protect the country and to help all the poor people, why did he wait till now...why hasn't he done something during his 18 yrs in the Senate....why did he allow 9/11 to happen???

[FUMETTI]

You got it right! I despise Kerry even more than Howard Dean, which is saying a lot! I would love to see Kerry have a Dean-style meltdown which I can TiVo into eternity!

[FUMETTI]

It would be a coup de grace for any candidate to question him about Brawley, because Sean hannity had him on his radio show many times and asked him to apologize for the incident and ruining the cop's careers and lives for no reason, and he refused! REFUSED! I mean, what a dirtball Sharpton is to deny any remorse for publically attacking two innocent men and creating racial tension that you could cut with a knife in the 1980s. I was told by some people that none of the Democrats wants to really engage Al in debate because if you did, Al automatically becomes "legitimate" (if that can ever be applied to someone as ridiculous as Rev. Al).

[ladyinred]

God help us if this phony liberal, socialist, anti war creep ends up in the White House. They way conservatives are acting about the President, this is a distinct possibility. I hope the rest of America isn't as fooled.

[DLfromthedesert]

I recall Michelle Malkin saying that she came from a very wealthy family form Mozambique. She is the ultimate elitist.
