He'll screw them the first opportunity he gets, but they'll vote for him in droves anyway.

...it was near a school where only a few years earlier children had been murdered, innocently.

They were murdered innocently??? WTF???

[Paul_B]

> if elected president I will guarantee you that I will work continuously

Surely this Ivy-leagurer knows the difference between continuous and continual.

> never disengaging as this administration did for so long, in a way that will advance that cause."


Yeah, the way Clinton engaged in the sacred "process". Thanks but no thanks.

> it was near a school where only a few years earlier children had been murdered, innocently.

How does one murder children innocently?

Sen. Kerry, you still are flying upside down.

That tale, which impressed the audience, echoes the story President George Bush tells about how he was given a helicopter tour of Israel by then opposition MK Ariel Sharon.
Kerry can't even keep George Bush's story straight.

And tomorrow Senator John Flipper Kerry will speak at a Mosque (or some similar muslim gathering) and say "the Israeli's are evil, murdering (blanks) and a Palestinian State should be immediately formed by the U.N." (and the Hell with Israel or their right to exist).

(or words to that effect)

I saw him telling that story during a short period that Fox was covering his speech.

He was very soft spoken, he tried to smile and HE PERFORMED THE PART OF THE ISRAELI BY USING A VERY BAD ACCENT IMPERSONATION.

[texasflower]

He took forever to tell that story and it could have been an okay story, but he droned on as he told it.

Boring.

If he is not going to force Israel to negotiate with an unreliable partner how is he going to stay engaged. Engagement always translates into pressuring Israel into concessions.

Although he had limited experience as a pilot, he was given a Fuga to fly and within a few minutes, when he wanted to look out over Aqaba from above, the pilot who was accompanying him said, "Senator, you better turn quickly because otherwise you'll be in Egyptian territory."

OK, first he falls on the slopes, then he falls off his bike. You couldn't get me to go up, in the sky, with him as pilot. Sheesh!

Note to Senator Kerry: You have the Jewish vote, but it is 2% of the population, and most of it is in NY and Illinois, which you were going to win anyway.

Kerry:

I supported Israel, before I was against it.

[rogue yam]

"Then I asked him if I could do a loop, a little aerobatics and see it all upside down - the perfect way to see the Middle East and Israel,"

This guy is such a phony he makes me want to puke!!!

[SJackson]

If you'd like to be on or off this middle east/political ping list, please FR mail me.

"And we stood on the edge and we yelled 'Am Yisrael chai!' [the nation of Israel lives] And boom, across came the echo, the most eerie and unbelievable sound. And we sort of looked at each other and we felt as if we were hearing the souls of those who had died there, speaking to us."

Yeah I'm sure this really happened. What a horribly sappy story. Kerry you're a nerd.

Ich bin ein goyim.

Haaretz isn't buying it.
