Well that was a short campaign, wasn't it?

Regards, Ivan

Happy St. Patrick's Day

[MadIvan]

Bump!

And today Kerry is quoted as telling a CA fundraiser he didn't need to win any Southern state to win the White House....nothing like dissing a whole segment of the American electorate..

[vbmoneyspender]

Wherever he is, Al Smith must be roaring with laughter. Kerry's going to have problems running for President cuz he's not Irish.

[MadIvan]

Yes indeed, a very short campaign. I doubt his wife's money can spend him out of that kind of trouble.

Regards, Ivan

Maybe to show their displeasure, they can make new little green baseball caps that say "UP KERRY'S".

BTW, I thought Kerry found out he was Jewish, too.

[Dog]

Ivan he is fundraising.....and he has filed for matching funds....which means she won't let him touch her dearly departed dead husband's money..

LOL!

[opbuzz]

Maybe he can claim to be Finnish.

Tomorrow is St. Urho's Day!

[gulfcoast6]

A sure sign that he knows he will not win a southern state.

[Theresawithanh]

Oops! Just re-read the article, and they do mention the Jewish part.

Guess I wasted my $$ on that speed-reading class...

Kerry has been playing up the Kennedyesque "Irish" image for decades here in Massachusetts. He even spent weeks perfecting his "JFK" signature. He's in a lot of trouble here in Massachuesetts. Not that it matters to me one whit, I never cared for the guy and never cast a single vote for him.

"And today Kerry is quoted as telling a CA fundraiser he didn't need to win any Southern state to win the White House."

Perhaps Mr. Kerry should ask Algore about not winning Tennessee or Florida.

[MadIvan]

Maybe he can claim to be Finnish.

He talks too much to be Finnish; the Finns are noted for being circumspect.

Did you know that Jimmy Carter took a speed-reading course exactly 23 years ago today? Check out the time in his diary from 7:07 to 9:27PM.

[Gritty]

If people were stupid enough to vote for him because they thought he was Irish, they are still stupid enough to vote for him whatever other meaningless characteristic he cares to tout - his smile, his hair, his height, etc.

His political positions apparently mean nothing to these parochial yokels. They betray their own fecklessness by their turbid outrage.

Thanks for posting Kerry's lies.Full-blooded Irish here.O'Connor

[Sacajaweau]

Apparently his original plan to run on a green ketchup platform have gone awry. Sounds like a barbeque platform at this point and his *** is on the spit.

[oldironsides]

Do not laugh at the Irish vote. They vote in large numbers and are loyal to an Irish name. I swear to God that is what I fought about with my Massachusetts relatives for years. I would ask how in hell they could vote for a pro choice, liberal, wealthy drinker like Teddy Kennedy and they could give no answer that made sense. The Rhode Island offspring are the same. They think Patrick is
the man for the future. They know about his problems and
strange behavior and they still vote for him. Go figure.

[doug from upland]

I have Irish ancestry. I'm glad I do not share it with Mr. Ketchup.

[Hillary's Lovely Legs]

Not only is Kerry not Irish, but he is NOT a Jew. There is Jewish on his father's side, but unless his MOTHER is jewish, Kerry is not a Jew.

But it has been confirmed that he is a blowhard.
