I can't wait to see how this plays out. If Kerry is clearly proven to have lied about being in Cambodia, I believe his support could crater to McGovern-like levels.
FPL ping.
Me too, and it was disappointing to see him turn into a sputtering partisan. The vileness of his act peaked with his outrageous mistreatment of the lovely and gracious Michelle Malkin.
But between the lambasting he's been receiving for that, the tongue-lashing Zell gave him, and the obvious disintegration of the Kerry campaign, I get the sense that Matthews is trying to crawl back into the good graces of mainstream America. Rather than ardently trying to defend Kerry, I think it's possible he'll start to play the second-guessing critic of the faile Kerry effort.
Well reported. Kerry is in huge trouble. As Kerry goes into more of a panic mode, he will start unleashing things on Bush that will make him look more un-presidential than he does now.
Bush can just keep bringing up his flip-flops and his liberal Senate record and look good. I really believe when the liberal media start to see the writing on the wall, you see much of the liberal media abandon him. You are starting to see a hint of it now.
Yes, it might be over the top. But on re-reading that line I'm not sure whether it is intended to suggest great care to not cut himself or rather to speak to cutting his opponent's credibility wide open.
Well, Kerrey's prediction did not come true. GHWB was too much of a gentleman to attack Clinton's Vietnam draft dodging.
Kerrey, despite his pretensions, is no gentleman. He will stop at nothing to smear GWB.
Oh yes, and PULEEEEEEEZZZE let there be pictures. We need replacements for the NASA ones.
How many bodyguards did he hire to protect himself from that "grouchy old man?!" as he called him on the daily show.
I like it!
Talking about two Kerry-Kerreys in the same post has my blood pressure up too high to see straight.
And don't forget: Spitballs.
"Yes, c'est vrai that I have proposed fighting the war on terror with spitballs. But what Zell Miller and others of his genre do not, comment dit-on?, comprehend, is that these spitballs would be drizzled with a exra-aged new strain of Camembert cheese.
"Personally, nibbled with a snifter of fine Romanee Conti, I find it absolument delicieux. But for the average peon, I assure you it would be la morte certaine!"
Yea - thats it Sissy, good advice. Right after he has a Philly cheese steak with Swiss. I hope ketchuip boy takes this advice, and, more like it.
What are you objecting to? Sounds like most of the same things you hear here on FR all the time. Mostly digs at Kerry and his campaign. Bush ought to pick up on that joke about Kerry having two campaign managers, two pollsters etc and tie that into Kerry being on both sides of every issue. As far as the comment about opening up Bush like a can of Tuna, so what? He was offering advice to Kerry that makes sense but I dont think Kerry will be able to make work. Would you object to him making the same comment about Bush going after Kerrys credibility?
Kerry did it himself. Windsurfing in Nantucket during the campaign....yea, that'll get the Black vote and the Reagan Democrats. Kerry has nobody but himself and his own liberal record to blame.
SKerry will take this to mean that he should stay away from issues and ask about W's NG duty. And maybe Kitty Kelly's book.
