  • Kerry Is Out of his Mind

    When he was a candidate he was out of touch, unable to show up in any meaningful way; and now he endorses pie-in-the-sky Obama. Anyone who thinks that guy will unify the country is smoking way to much ganja. Or thinks a religious revival complete with preacher type oratory is the answer to Pakistan, North Korea and Iran. Sometimes I think Kerry is out of his mind.

  • Will the MSM bash Kerry for this?

    About four years ago, when Al Gore endorsed Howard Dean, the talking empty heads in the MSM could not stop going on about how Gore could be so disloyal to his runningmate Lieberman, or in a variation on the same familar theme (Everything Gore does is feckless and/or fake), that having identified Lieberman as the second best person to sit in the Oval Office by selecting his as a runningmate, Gore was either being dishonest when he picked Lieberman in 2000, or dishonest in supporting Dean in 2004.

    I'll be curious to see if Kerry is subjected to the same abuse for not endorsing Edwards. I doubt he will, or in any case to a far lesser degree, as (a) The MSM may not like Kerry, but their dislike for him lacks the passion in its hatred for Gore, and (b) Kerry is endorsing the MSM's pet du jour, while Gore endorsed a supposedly un-serious, angry candidate.

    (For the record, I have long argued that lifting Lieberman out of relative obscurity was the biggest mistake Gore ever made).

  • Kerry endorsing Obama

    Boy, that'll make a lot of difference from a guy who is so wimpish he couldn't even take a strong opinion on the issue of pants.

  • Negativity? Please

    Some (i.e., the MSM) call it "negativity." The rest of us call it honesty about the mess we're in and the toughness it will take to get us out of it.
