CEDAR RAPIDS --- Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry won't be coming to Davenport and Cedar Rapids today. Instead, vice presidential candidate John Edwards will take his place.
Campaign officials say that Kerry's voice is strained, and he needs to conserve it for the debates against President Bush, the first of which is coming up a week from today in Coral Gables, Fla. The three debates are considered a pivotal juncture in the campaign.The Blogspirator recently had laryngitis. It lasted for three weeks.
At the point of one week, he couln't talk at all.
One week from now... the debates.
Ouch.
Maybe it has something do with internal Democrat polls?
The voice box is a mirror which reflects the ills of man. This includes stress. Stress can lead to misuse of the muscles around the vocal cords. This in turn produces hoarseness.
You know...thats what I was thinking!
Thousands of Iowans cheer their great luck. "Answer to prayer" was the consenus.
That was the other John Kerry.
(Iowa and Ohio)
Can you say "Botox treatments" before the debates.
Kerry just got caught lying to Iowa. Neener neener neener. (Busted)
Sort of the Prov. 17:28 strategy.
He needs electro shock treatments!
Your comment needs a Barf Alert.
Saw that!
Kerry = a legend in his own mind and an IDIOT in the minds of all others!!
What a total a-wad!!
Excellent point. He does not seem capable of operating as president with "energy and dispatch" that was described by Alexander Hamilton. He just seems old and uninspiring. But I do have to add that if Iowa was closer in the polls, Kerry would be there.
As it is, Kerry has now passed on Iowa and he avoided FL for several weeks. This does not bode well for his campaign.
Yeah, and he could just point to yonder, scold the American people for not being as omni potent as he, and then go skiing.
Man, this guy couldn't' even use his sick day to go to work in Washington DC where Allawi addressed the entire Congress.
Where does he stand now? 80% absence this year?
The President's job goes wherever he goes, but Kerry's job is in the Senate, which he can't perform from the campaign trail.
Massachusetts should have appointed a replacement or recalled him.
Poor guy, the rice from his rear have worked up to his throat. Put some ice on it.
How dare you accuse me of using botox? I have shrapnel in my leg! I am a war hero! I am supposed to win!!!
He's put his foot in his mouth so many times, I bet it's not Laryngitis at all, but rather Trench Mouth...
I bet he is trying to figure out how to give it to Treezzzaa.
