Another story on Kerry's Iraq trip:

Kerry's demeanor is a joke; why shouldn't he do comedy?

"Speaking to an audience of troops in Iraq today, Sen. John Kerry (D., Mass.) raised eyebrows by revealing for the first time that his 2004 campaign for the U.S. presidency was "a botched joke."

'My stiff delivery, my wooden, robot-like hand gestures, were all an attempt on my part to be hilarious,' Sen. Kerry told the troops. 'In retrospect, I guess you had to be there.'

"For Mr. Kerry, a politician whose demeanor ranges from "dour" to "very dour," the news that his entire campaign was a botched joke came as a startling revelation.

"But despite the fact that his presidential campaign failed to garner the kind of belly laughs he was aiming for, Sen. Kerry told the troops that he planned to skip the 2008 race to focus full time on what he called 'my first love, comedy.'

"Buddy Schlantz, a veteran talent agent and observer of the show business scene, said that Mr. Kerry's decision to focus on comedy might be 'a good career move,' and suggested that the senator might find some stage time at the Laugh Factory, where Seinfeld alumnus Michael Richards memorably performed last month: 'I hear they have a slot open.'

"But in a sign that he still has a long way to go as a comedian, Mr. Kerry's final joke to the troops played to cricket-like silence.

"'Do you know what happens to comedians who botch a joke?" Mr. Kerry said. 'They get stuck in Iraq!'"

If it were any other than the fine men and women of the U.S. Military and our allies in that mess hall, the cowardly Jon Carry couldn't risk turning his back to them after what he has done. Well done, troops!

"How stupid can he and his handlers be?

They had to know this would happen."



Arrogant elitists think they know better than others how things work. He no doubt was mystified as to why those he named unintelligent were not lining up to lick his boots in supplication.

Its sad to say he was only a short measure from being president of our country.

We diss O'Reilly on this board because we can't stand anyone who is more arrogant than we are.

Caption Contest!

"Pardon me, would you have any Grey Poupon?"

"You call this WHAT on a shingle?"

"Can my wife cook... I dunno. But she's pretty good at hiring them. French, you know; you simply must be French to make a decent quiche."

"Can I get me a jihadi huntin' license around here?"

"I am NOT gonna touch that display turkey until the clown with the camera goes away."

"What do you mean I can't get a manicurist appointment? DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"

d.o.l.

I belong to MENSA, and this jerk's no MENSA member. Billionaire, maybe, but he doesn't have the mental horsepower to get into MENSA. And they don't give affirmative action appointments for billionaires.

I hope you have sent that picture to Hannity. It will make it to the Hanity and Colmunist Show.
