Kerry interview butt of GOP jokes

Sen. John Kerry's interview Sunday on "Meet the Press" has become a source of ridicule among some Republicans this week, especially the presumptive Democratic presidential candidate's insinuation he's received endorsements from foreign leaders when dining in New York.

House Majority Leader Tom DeLay, Texas Republican, said he enjoyed it so much he taped it, put it in his archives and used it to kick off his weekly briefing with reporters.

Name your favorite restaurant. Ketchup Boy is the punch line for SNL jokes.

I think you may even see a Bush ad on this before the election. Of course, SNL or Comedy Central may beat them to it.

[Slings and Arrows]

John French Kerry IS a foreign leader.

I've been hearing it, I'll tell you, the news, the coverage in other countries, the news in other places. I've met more leaders who can't go out and say this publicly," he said. "But, boy, they look at you and say: 'You've got to win this. You've got to beat this guy. We need a new policy.' Things like that."

Has he been taking lessons from little Dick Gephardt? Sounds like his billionaire friend who said, "please don't cut my my taxes".

[ping jockey]

I sure hope he travels to Middle Tn. I have got a freeper outfit and sign that will have hime seeing red. I WILL take a vacation day to Freep this fool .Come on little Johnny flip flop, I double dog dare you to announce a visit to Nashville, TN.

The foreign leader of New Mexico roots for j fing k.

Your picture makes sense only if Kerry wins.

Rue the day.

"He was misquoted."
"No I wasn't."
"Shh... Yes, you were. You were MISQUOTED. Get it?"
"But I have met foreign leaders who want me to be President."
"Who?"
"Well, obviously, I can't say."
"He was misquoted."
"OK, but it's still true. That's my story, and I'm sticking to it."
"That's a first."
(Aside: "This is going to be a long six months.")

I saw one Bush ad that looked like a Laurel and Hardy film...talking about the 50 cent gas tax. I was flipping channels at work. It was hilarious, showing all these model Ts driving around. Havent seen or heard of it since.

[thoughtomator]

Make sure you don't tell Kerry that France doesn't get a vote in our election...

[Eva]

Geez, those guys better be careful, we all know what happened to John Heinz after making fun of John Kerry at a political event. LOL

[holyscroller]

Speaking of loyalty, isn't Ter-RAY-sahh* a piece of work? An "African" lucky enough to latch onto a guy from a multi-skillionaire family, who's a Republican, gets himself killed, and leaves her with boo-coo bucks, and even though she still speaks of him (Heinz) as her true love, jumps in bed with the first Dumbocrat who stumbles along her way. What self respecting Republican woman with any convictions would even let the guy in the door, let alone go to bed with him? (Yeh, and I still can't understand Mary Matelin either. She must put a bag over snakehead's head.)

As much as I like Mary she ain't a new bar of soap either.

[hobson]

LOL. Very good.

[piasa]

maybe Kerry was just thinking of a meeting which was coming up soon after he said that:

MARCH 12, 2004 : (BOSTON, MASSACHUSETTS : DEMOCRAT JOHN KERRY MEETS WITH IRA TERRORIST CHIEF MARTIN MCGUINESS) John Kerry and Martin McGuinness, the IRA's and Sinn Fein's chief in Boston on March 12, 2004. McGuinness was second-in-command in the IRA in Londonderry at the time of Bloody Sunday on 30 January 1972.He served two prison terms in the Irish Republic, and was denounced by Mr Merlyn Rees - a former Home Secretary - as a terrorist. 'The Observer' alleges that he was "widely held to have headed the IRA Londonderry Brigade." (Photo caption from the UK Observer, 17.4.83) *

BTTT ;-)

I live in the Washington, DC area and have seen this one a lot.

[mabelkitty]

He believes his own press.
How out of touch and sheltered is this guy?

[sweetliberty]

"I just want to make sure Senator Kerry understands that just because you go into an International House of Pancakes does not mean you are meeting with foreign leaders — unless of course you are referring to their Belgian waffles, stuffed French toast or German pancakes,"

ROTFL! Could this guy BE any more pathetic? Besides, why should we care what foreign leaders want anyway? It's no big secret that a lot of foreign leaders would love to have an American president that is easier to manipulate than this one, but these guys are, by and large, our enemies. Of course, that would explain why the democRATs love them so much. Personally, even if what Kerry said were true, it would seem to mean that we're on the right track.

"She must put a bag over snakehead's head"

Maybe she's just into kinky sex with exotic reptiles.

That has a Monte Python quality to it. :^)

That one is getting alot of playing time here in Ohio.

"I mean, you can go to New York City and you can be in a restaurant and you can meet a foreign leader," Mr. Kerry said. "There are plenty of places to meet people without traveling abroad."

"I think this gringo, this John Kerry, he is a good man. I would vote for heem if I could", explained Juan Vasquez, wiping the sweat from his brow after climbing out of the back of the hot, overcrowded delivery van. "He ask me, 'Juan, did you lead anything back in Mexico?' and I tole him I was captain of soccer team in Guadalupe for almost two weeks. The gringo, he then say, that good enough for me and drove away. I guess he is running for President. Maybe I run for President someday - if it good enough for a Frenchman, it good enough for me..."

[Becki]

— which found only one instance where Mr. Kerry and a foreign leader were in the same town at the same time —

How can you meet them in a restaurant if you are not in the same town at the same time?

I think he is listening to the voices in his head again.

Thus far Bush/Cheney '04 has put out some of the best ads I have ever seen.
