"We're bringing a screwdriver" (Kerry Campaign threatens to sabotage debates)
WRKO radio - Boston | 9/30/04

Posted on 09/30/2004 11:16:08 AM PDT by pabianice

Heard on the hour's news:

The Kerry Campaign is now insisting that the warning lights mounted at each candidate's podium be disconnected before tonight's debate. All had previously agreed that there would be 15 second warning lights mounted at each podium to let everyone know that the speaker's time was ending. Kerry Campaign is now panicing at the thought that Mr. Debater will not have enough time for each answer he wishes to give, and are demanding that the lights be removed.

The debate organizers, to their credit, are refusing, since both campaigns agreed to have the lights. To this, a Kerry spokesman replied, "We're bringing our own screwdriver and we'll disconnect the light ourselves if we have to."

THIS is the true spirit of Campaign Kerry: 'WE get to make the rules and WE get to change them when we feel like it.' Just whom we need running the country.

Actually, the quote is from Kennedy. John is bringing the orange juice.

Maybe it is not what we think...after Bush gets done with Kerry, the Dems may need a few screwdrivers!

Maybe when they bring the screwdrivers to the debates, they can also bring along all the 'W' keys from the keyboards that "disappeared" after Clinton left office. The Dems are so destructive.

Yuk yuk, Kerry is threatening to make this a fun fun night. I guess the jerk planned on talking the whole time and taking over like Gore did. Kerry just needs a spanking like a kid.

Kerry makes North Korea's Kim Jong Il seem like a more honest guy.

LIKE THE SS WOULD LET A EVIL DUM GET NEAR BUSH WITH A SCREWDRIVER

Since they knew they couldn't bring Kerry's shotgun, a screwdriver was the only other thing they could come up with.

Maybe while they're at it, they can can disconnect the 10-watt bulb between Kerry's ears.

WE? So just how many dems DOES it take to disconnect a light?

Sheesh.
They really don't like the thought that he may not have enough time to nuance everyone to death.

The whole quote(?): "We're bringing a screwdriver and a nembutal for Kerry in addition to his usual fine red French wine, and plenty of tequilla shots for the rest of us... we know this is going to be very painful."

A screwdriver COULD be considered a weapon by the president's secret service detail. They are VERY thorough, you know.

Eh, so what. Let him mess with his own podium if it makes him glow.

Kerry doesn't feel like he needs a 15-second warning, so let him make an ass of himself by getting cut off mid-sentence on national tv.

As long as his people don't demand that President Bush also go without the warning...

This warning-light thing tells me that Flipper has been worked up into a fine tizzy this morning... I think he will either have to Sweat like a Pig tonight or else double or triple up on Prozac, at which time he will get those Hollow Sunken Scary-Kerry eyes that will swish and slosh and roll from side to side while his Marfan chin goes the opposite directions... It should be quite a show tonight...

"We're bringing our own screwdriver...."

Good! Kerry has had a screw loose for over three decades.

"We only gave the debate organizers the authority to install the lights. We never thought they'd act unilaterally and install them without the support of France and Germany!"
