Go back to Afghanistan! Pull out of Iraq! Jeff Goldstein ponders unusual demands from ex-DNC chairman Terry McAuliffe. Meanwhile, John “I have a plan” Kerry has a new plan on troop numbers in Iraq; interestingly, it’s a reversal of his old plan.

Kerry’s flip-flopping, you say? How unlike him.

They’re both Kerry’s plan! Who do you want him to be, sailor?

In their desperation to find a way—- some way, any way—- to connect with the voters, they’re flailing around in all directions. What’s truly astounding is that they don’t think anybody notices this.
Exhibit A: John Kerry, Walking Empty Suit.

How are those demands unusual? Coming from a leading (or formerly leading) Democrat, this kind of hare-brained nonsense is to be expected after all. I’d be more shocked to hear something sensible out of that lot.

Read the names at the Goldstein thread.

I’ll give him a chance to thank the protesters again.

Sorry wrong thread.

OT, sorry:
1 – Go to http://www.google.com
2 – Type in “french military victories”, without the quotes
3 – Instead of hitting “Search” hit “I’m feeling Lucky”
4 – Tell your friends before the people at Google fix it

John Kerry would have been another Billy Carter. Sorry, I mean, Jimmy Carter. That’s right. Jimmy. He’s the one with the rabbit thing and Billy’s the one with the beer. Who died.
Google entry: They are not going to fix it. The guy who runs it and deliberately made the engine turn up that message, evidently, is leaving it that way. It’s been like that for over a year. Maybe longer. I suppose now that Google is a publickly traded stock, the board and the stockholders could force them to change it, but so far, no one has done anything. At least that is the way I heard it.

Bostonian,
Tell your friends before the people at Google fix it
No worries, that’s been there at least 2 or 3 years now.

… and there’s a George W Bush gag there too, try “miserable failure”.

John Kerry? You mean he’s *still* trying to make sense of himself? Tell him to give up and just enjoy his money.

Kerry’s just an old war horse….

Where did that one end up? I recall it was pointing to Howard Dean, Michael Moore and Jimmy Carter at various stages…

This form of linking by Google is called Google Bombing. It includes the joke on “French military victories” which occurs when you use the “I’m feeling lucky” button.

John Kerry’s plan was seared, SEARED into my memory. I just can’t recall which plan without consulting VC the flying dog who wears a magic hat.

Go back to Afghanistan! Pull out of Iraq!
Invade Prince George’s County!?

RebeccaH — And the $45 million in election funds he’s still sitting on. OK, $39 million… okay, $28 million… hey, those Eye-talian yachts and Snickers Bars don’t buy themselves…!
