Kerry still can't get his stories straight

"John Kerry, accompanied by the press, went into a sporting goods store and bought a jock strap."

Gee this is odd?!? As I recall from being a kid, a male doesn't need a 'jock' until you have 'something' to protect!
(maybe he's going to use it as a combination nose guard/sweat band??)

And what could be next? Him buying a 'cup' to use as an ear protector?!!?

---

BTW, I bet 'the press' who accompanied him have NO idea of what a jock strap is!

[cajungirl]

Your post 19,,give the guy a break. It is very hard to morph into two people at the very same time all the while needing a jock strap. Life is hard for J Kerry

He bought it for his wife.

Great piece

[McGavin999]

Was Kerry in Vietnam? I didn't know that :o)

[NYpeanut]

Well, he's got the face for it.

Kerry is his own worst enemy, since he is a man of no convictions and has no qualms in saying whatever pleases his latest audience. That kind of man does not deserve to be President, no matter what packaging his handlers wrap around him.

When the U.S. does elect a black president, Toni Morrison's silliness will be exposed for what it is.

Come to that, how many folks name their dogs after the enemy? Did British Tommies stumble across stray French poodles on the beach at Normandy and think, ''Aw, cute li'l feller. I'll call him SS''?

I dunno what soldiers under fire tend to name their mascots, but I DO know that Adolf, Tojo, and Mussolini were popular pet names during WWII, among civilians . Dachshunds are still commonly saddled with "Adolf".

john f'n kerry has just joined my "lowercase club"...as I refuse to write the names of certain people that I have seen to be liars, and un-American...like clinton, for instance.

kerry is a bigger 'toon than clinton was...and that is saying a lot.

He is what is referred to as a "BS-Artist"...an unabashed one, at that.

But, most of all, kerry is a bully...not unlike hillary clinton...I even think they are both probably the same gender.

They both like to lie...
They both dislike Secret Service people, and treat them badly...
They both have pasts that link them to socialism/communism preferences for governing...;
They both lust for power...
They both loathe G.W. and conservatives in general...
and...

If either of them EVER get to the White House, then write America off and get out your Muslim kneeling mats...

I am particularly fond of the Jock strap purchase and think we have yet to mine that one for its humor value!

Hope the media informs us if he visits a veterinarian.
Might be purchasing some nuticles. He could use them.

I want to see that VC puppy trot out with the jock strap between his teeth so Jacques Chirac can ceremonially drape it round the senator's neck.

I guess that would make it a "Jacques strappe".

[mountaineer]

I guess that would make it a "Jacques strappe".

Pardon my French, so to speak, but I get the impression Chirac would just love to trade places with JFK's jock.

More Jean Effin' anecdotes from today's NY Post:

JUST hours before Sen. John Kerry boldly announced, "I don't fall down," on a Sun Valley ski slope, he fell down. Kerry made headlines last week when, on his first snowboard run down Idaho's Mount Baldy, a skiing Secret Service agent collided with the Democratic presidential candidate, sending him tumbling into the powder. After getting to his feet - and being assured that news cameras hadn't caught the crash - Kerry told reporters: "I don't fall down. That son of a bitch knocked me over."

Not quite. Upon his arrival in Idaho the previous evening, Kerry showed he's as vulnerable to gravity as the rest of us. As his dozen-car motorcade made the 90-minute trek from a Twin Falls airport to the slopes of Ketchum, they stopped off at a Texaco mini-mart in Shoshone, where Kerry promptly lost his footing.

"Out jumps candidate Kerry to buy a bottle of water, but the lady at the mini-mart had just mopped the floor," a spy tells PAGE SIX. "Kerry slips and falls on the wet floor!"

"It was a quick slip and an immediate recovery," says Kerry rep David Wade. "He was up in a second."

The overwhelmingly Republican enclave might prove a bit slippery for Kerry. Ketchum elders were concerned when Secret Service agent Robert Harrell advised them a Kerry presidency would have "some noticeable impacts" on their lives. Kerry and wife Teresa Heinz Kerry live on the Big Wood River across Highway 75 in the Adams Gulch section of town. The agent warned that heightened security could entail occasional "frozen zones" where freedom of movement is restricted should Kerry win the 2004 election.

Many locals didn't seem too upset by the idea - they tolerate Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's five California state troopers in nearby Lake Creek. But they are horrified at the thought that legendary Pioneer Saloon could soon be in a "security bubble," says our Ketchum sources.

Kerry got a taste of local hostility when he lunched with his wife Thursday at the Warm Springs ski area. An octogenarian at a nearby table loudly told his date, "I see the idiot is here."

A young waitress scolded the senior citizen, "It's guys like you who got this country where it is!"

"Don't get personal about this, young lady," he replied.

It's not clear from that article if Kerry's daughter was along just for the trip to Borders, or if she went to pick up the bike and buy the jock strap, too. I wish I could find out for sure, because it's pretty hilarious if she was there.

Kerry is trying to morph himself in to John F. Kennedy while morphing himself in Bill Clinton. The result is still a al-Franken-stein monster.

al-Franken-stein monster--I love this.

[Rummyfan]

Ping!

[sandlady]

Another worthy repeat:

It's never a good idea in vernacular politics to leave the impression you're more comfortable with the global elite than with American citizens. Instead of the second black president, Kerry sounded awfully like America's first French president.

America's first French president--Let's not let this happen!!

[Mr. K]

"His vote against the first Gulf War was, he says, a sign of his support for the first Gulf War. Whereas his vote in favor of the Iraq war was a sign of his opposition to the Iraq war. And his vote against funding America's troops in Iraq is a sign of his support for America's men and women in uniform. On the same principle, I think the best way voters this November can demonstrate their support for John Kerry is by voting against him."

This paragraph deserves it's own post!!!!!

[watchin]

wow. Kerry was in Vietnam why doesn't he ever talk about it?


Sorry. The thread didn't have one yet.
