BWAHAHAHAHA!
Gorgeous.
Frowning takes 68 muscles.
Smiling takes 6.
Pulling this trigger takes 2.
I'm lazy.

BOSTON—Massachusetts Sen. John Kerry unleashed a broadside Thursday against Republican "obstructionism," saying the GOP and its talk-show allies have created a "period of know-nothingism" in the country.
With his party braced for defeats in the midterm elections, the 2004 Democratic presidential nominee told the Greater Boston Chamber of Commerce that a Republican machine -- fueled by talk show hosts such as Rush Limbaugh and Glenn Beck -- has undermined progress and misled the public into believing Democrats created the country's current economic problems.
Kerry singled out attacks on an energy deal he was negotiating with Republicans, which fell apart amid criticism of an emissions-trading program. Some 20 Senate candidates are now opposing the proposed deal in their campaigns.
"It's absurd. We've lost our minds," said a clearly exasperated Kerry. "We're in a period of know-nothingism in the country, where truth and science and facts don't weigh in. It's all short-order, lowest common denominator, cheap-seat politics."

:D
1. A totally ignorant person; an ignoramus.
2. An anti-intellectual.
3. An agnostic.
4. Know-Nothing A member of a political party in the United States during the 1850s that was antagonistic toward recent immigrants and Roman Catholics.
This is his last-gasp pronouncement before he flees to his yacht and takes off to the Grand Cayman Islands with his money-tree wife and his display case of war medals.

“We’ve lost our minds,” said a clearly exasperated Kerry.”
Yes you have, you dunderhead, and it’s about time you realized it.
BWAHAHAHAHA!
Gorgeous.
Unfortunately, this pompous a-hole is now the *senior* senator from Massachusetts. The odds of the voters replacing him before he reaches room temperature are shamefully slim.
Yeah... but is it “seared into your brain”?

1. I thought he was talking about his sailboat taxes and why he did not pay.
2. Gee would of thought that Yale University would have taught John Kerry not to end a sentence with a preposition.
Cry, little girl....
actually, the real fool was the late Sen. Heinz. He married this monster and she got his money! "Foah moah yeahs of haaaaaaaaal..."
That was exactly my first thought when reading Kerry's remarks. Thing is, the Dems just cannot get used to the idea that most Americans are now smarter than most politicians. We are mostly college educated, have been trained to question and research, and we understand issues like never before. Or we are successful entepreneurs, business owners, etc. and all of us have the added advantage of the Internet to check and compare politicians' statements, actions, and voting records. We know who is doing what we want and who is not.
And, even though Americans are somewhat fickle, and they will go for something "new" like an Obama coming on the scene, they still want to see leaders establish programs that are not damaging and that advance and secure our country. When the "new" does not perform satisfactorly we know it immediately and we cannot be bluffed into believing it is good for us when it is not. The Dems cannot stand that.
They want us to be ignorant, out in the country or fields, with no access to news or information. They talk to us as if we have 3rd grade educations, as they have done for so many years when it worked because so many had not been college educated, or even interested in politics to the extent that we are today. These "goons" went to college with us and they know how capable and politically savvy most Americans are...but they won't admit it and face the reality that Americans have all the information they need at their disposal now, without being spoonfood lies by the Dem. politicians.
Sorry Mr. Kerry.
Many of us knew YOU lost your mind sometime in the 1960s-1970s and its been vacant in your head ever since. More Americans now understand that about you and people like you and thus the brainwashing from your Marxist and Leftist friends in academia and the media no longer has the hold on them that it used to.
Naturally the political terrain now being charted is unfamiliar and undesirable territory to you and THAT frightens you. For American that’s a good thing.
Really? He thinks the GOP has become a 19th century secret organization with an irrational fear of German and Irish immigrants?
Problem is Mr Kerry..your party has a majority in both houses and the POTUS. There is nothing Republicans could do to prevent anything from going through if your party was united. So, your frustration lies with your own party. The absurdity is that you blame everyone but yourself for your inability to get anything done. Your argument is mute.
“We” DIDN’T consider him presidential material.
