EFFORT MADE TO BE SMART
“The gift that keeps on giving,” wrote James Taranto of John Kerry on Monday. Later that same day, the wealthy political hobbyist gave again:
As the president was telling the good people of Texas that the Democrats did not want to win in Iraq, his former rival was in California insulting the troops ...
“You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq,” he said, eliciting chuckles from the students.
Kerry’s response to criticism of his stupid comments included suggestions that Kerry may have, at some point, served in a war somewhere:
This is the classic G.O.P. playbook. I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did.
I’m not going to be lectured by a stuffed suit White House mouthpiece standing behind a podium, or doughy Rush Limbaugh, who no doubt today will take a break from belittling Michael J. Fox’s Parkinson’s disease to start lying about me just as they have lied about Iraq. It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have.
They’ve never worn the magic hat! Democrats, too, are repelled by Kerry, whose massive bonce makes redundant any attempt to replicate him in Giant Puppet form:
A Democratic Congressional candidate from Iowa is canceling a campaign event later this week with Senator John Kerry. Brucy Braley says Kerry’s recent comments about the Iraq war were inappropriate.
Commenters at Kerry’s blog seem to agree.
