KERRY’S LATEST FLYING SEADOG

Good God, no! John Kerry has a new dog:

The newest addition to Sen. John Kerry’s inner circle is a Schnauzer puppy named Stache, who takes his handle from the pronounced hair on his face.

Should’ve named him Bush. Ha ha! Anyways ...

Last week, Stache was spotted by our dogged spies being taken for a ride on the family speedboat in Nantucket.

Let’s hope they had an auxiliary boat handy in case of unexpected enemy action:

When I was serving on a swiftboat in Vietnam, my crewmates and I had a dog we called VC. We all took care of him, and he stayed with us and loved riding on the swiftboat deck. I think he provided all of us with a link to home and a few moments of peace and tranquility during a dangerous time. One day as our swiftboat was heading up a river, a mine exploded hard under our boat. After picking ourselves up, we discovered VC was MIA. Several minutes of frantic search followed after which we thought we’d lost him. We were relieved when another boat called asking if we were missing a dog. It turns out VC was catapulted from the deck of our boat and landed confused, but unhurt, on the deck of another boat in our patrol.

“Confused but unhurt”. Didn’t Kerry win a medal for that? Happy landings, Stache!

  1. Reports are it took three men to get ‘stache on the yacht with Kerry…

  2. Good God indeed.  People always choose dogs that resemble themselves.  Except for the ‘stache of course.

  4. Clinton got excited because he heard Kerry was giving free ‘stache rides on his boat and he wanted in on it.

  5. “Theresa, did you see my Stache?”

    Naaah, just doesn’t work.

  6. Yeah…right…a dog gets blown into the air with enough force to achieve low orbit, travels far enough to land on the deck of another boat, without injury…that’s at least as believable as the CIA lucky hat story and the Christmas in Cambodia fable…Bet that dog had riding on a boat “seared, SEARED” into his memory.  Why does this whole schtick sound just like the kid in school who always wanted to impress everyone with the most unbelievable lies…Yeah, man I was backstage at the Stones concert and gave Keith Richards my spare guitar pick, so he gave me one of his groupies…Yeah…Really…No S**t…

  7. If anyone doubts the veracity of the original story about Kerry’s flying dog, I have actual, original, unretouched photos of “”VC the Wonder Dog

    No need to thank me, it’s all in a day’s work.

  9. Ken, that is one of the neatest sets of dog pictures I’ve ever seen.

  10. Actually it’s a little know secret that Kerry had another dog before that, but when he launched it off the bow of Teresa’s yacht, it hit the propeller of JFK Jr’s plane and, well, best to gloss over the rest of the story…

  13. When I was serving in Stalingrad, my squadmates and I had a dog we called “German Sixth Army.” We all took care of him, and he stayed with us and loved scrambling about the dust and rubble.

    We thought he would eventually provide all of us with a batch of tasty link sausages when meat supplies ran low and a few moments of peace and tranquility between explosions.

    One day, as we patrolled near the Univermag department store, a kraut mortar shell exploded hard, rather than softly.

    After picking ourselves up, we discovered German Sixth Army was MIA. Several minutes of frantic search followed after which we thought we’d lost a tasty meal. We were relieved when another platoon called asking if we were missing a dog. It turns out German Sixth Army was blown to smithereens but all those bloody bits somehow reconstituted as they landed, leaving German Sixth Army confused, but unhurt in the Dutch oven of another platoon.

  14. “Confused, but unhurt” Spounds like projection, on Kerry’s behalf.

  15. Obviously, Ken, the water is so clean and pure because it has not been contaminated by the filthy pollution of Western capitalism.
