Mark Steyn: Kerry still can't get his stories straight

I wonder if John Kerry has perhaps launched his descent into caricature a couple of months too early. Usually, the successful losing candidate waits till late spring/early summer before shifting gears and beginning each day with the campaign trying to explain some rhetorical triviality from the previous week that's stuck to his shoe and he can't seem to shake off.

Kerry still can't get his stories straight

"Is it normal to take a yappy mutt on a swift boat patrol through enemy territory? Especially a mutt named after the enemy. Calling out ''Over here, VC'' in the middle of the jungle seems a good way to get taken out by friendly fire. 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've been wondering about this pup's name since I heard it.

Steyn's "correction" response to the Seattle Post-Intelligencer, at the end of this piece, is classic.

On the same principle, I think the best way voters this November can demonstrate their support for John Kerry is by voting against him.

I like this logic, or is it poetry?

There's a great slogan in there somewhere!

''Swing by, sweet limousine, comin' for to carry me home.''

Instead of citing any of the ginger toms, gerbils and cockatoos that have passed through the Kerry household in the last four decades ...

I'll wager they've passed through something else as well, but we won't go there.

Toby...bring the car around, will you.

did he really buy a jock strap? i can't stop laughing!

[irish guard]

Swing by, Sweet Limosine.....Mark Styen is simply the best.

The problem with him is that not enough people get to read his works.

Kerry's errands

On Friday, a gaggle of reporters tailed the senator on his round of errands, just in case he made news. They were on hand as Kerry perused the history section at Borders, picked up his bicycle from a repair shop and even when he bought a jock strap, among other items, at a local sporting goods shop.

Kerry appeared to take the spectacle in stride, ignoring a boom mike and a television camera that tracked his every movement.

' Instead of the second black president, Kerry sounded awfully like America's first French president.'

hahahahahahahahaha
