Senator John Kerry felt cheated. Thats all we can imagine inspired the old boy to charter a flight and head to Washington Thursday for a visit the press has called rare, unexpected and a surprise. We imaging he woke up on Thursday morning and got a thrill from the pages in his hometown paper The Boston Globe, which depicted graphic images of prison soldiers at Abu Ghraib having sex. And maybe, noticing John Kerrys approval of The Globes brief foray into porn, Boston City Councilor and Kerry buddy, Chuck Turner showed the Senator his own private stash of Abu Ghraib pictures.

We can also imaging the Senators famous temper flaring up when later that day he learned both The Globes photos and those of Councilman Turner were fakes. Gas up the Flying Squirrel, he must have ordered a staff member. Were going to Washington to see the real McCoy! (BTW: Lets hope The Globe doesnt make the same photographic snafu when the Bay State legalizes gay marriage tonight!)
A few press outlets got the story half right when they reported Kerry made an unexpected trip to Washington to see the Abu Ghraib sex photos. But the other half adds an extra dash of creepiness. You see, Kerry flew to Washington put his campaign on hold so he could watch the video of Abu Grhaib.
Lets remember, this fellow hasnt been seen in our nations Capitol very much this year. Hes cast a vote in only 16% of the roll call votes in 2004. Kerry even skipped a vote on Sen. Patty Murrays pet project, a temporary extension of unemployment benefits. (The bill went down to defeat by one vote.)
But he made a special trip to Washington, DC to watch Lt. Lynndie England shake her grove thang! for the cameras.
But he was in Washington on Thursday, so he must have voted for something, either before or after getting his Abu Ghraib jollies, right? Um, well NO. In fact, Kerry skipped a vote on bill to reauthorize the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act.
Sorry boys. Those cripples will just have to find another way to get their schooling. Im only here for the porn, we imagine he replied when his name was called out.
Yeah
this is the guy we want in the White House.
ping
"Lt. Lynndie England"
Not a Lt. Get your facts straight.
She's an orificer, not an officer. :)
Has anyone noticed how the Dems can't get enough of these photos? One could detect miles of smiles when it was announced there were hundreds, maybe thousands more...and videos! Chrissy Mathews' ever-expanding forehead shows beads of sweat as he talks about naked bodies and sexual positions. Bill Nelson grinningly drawls on about the perversions. Perhaps we're beginning to see the genesis of their all-consuming anger. Sexual repression.
Kerry used to vote FOR before he would vote AGAINST. Now, he doesn't vote at all.
lol.
Misses the disability vote. Missed the Unemployment Benefits Extension vote [that bill hinged on his vote and by not voting, he caused it to die---even though, on the campaign trail, he supported it].
Hey, maybe he has a few brain cells to rub together? Hmmmm.
Nah, it was some of his staffers who figured out that if he didn't vote, then he wouldn't have to explain his vote, and make us all gasp in awe over the dizzying flips.
Now, if the other side could figure this out, maybe they could use it to advantage? Whaddya think?
Simple mistake. No need to be rude.
Kennedy probably has many of these photos now, all over his office walls. For serious reflection... of course:)
Got that right. . .and in the original article, the original quote, "Lt" is not mentioned. . .just her name.
Not nice to change actual quotes.
'it was some of his staffers who figured out that if he didn't vote, then he wouldn't have to explain his vote, and make us all gasp in awe over the dizzying flips.'
scary, but that makes sense....
>Not nice to change actual quotes.
I don't think it was anything other than a mistake. FReepers aren't minding thier manners today and being flat out rude.
Who cut and pasted a quote. Not us. That was original content. So settle down everyone. When we quote someone, we link up to the original source
>>Who cut and pasted a quote. Not us.<<
Come again?
>>That was original content.<<
Ahhh. . .no.
To kick a dead horse, you posted the article and properly cited the link. Then we find from the original link the following:
But he made a special trip to Washington, DC to watch Lynndie England shake her groove thang! for the cameras.
Now, from your cut-and-paste we see this:
But he made a special trip to Washington, DC to watch Lt. Lynndie England shake her grove thang! for the cameras.
Please note. . .it is an EXACT quote EXCEPT for the inclusion of rank.
We should not change substantially a quote, especially when the change is not only wrong, but remarkably wrong.
I don't know who you are or who you think you are, but I wrote that! I didn't cut and paste it from anywhere.
