[history]
April 23, 2004 -- WASHINGTON - On Earth Day, Democrat John Kerry reluctantly admitted to having a gas-guzzling SUV in the family - but blamed his wife. "The family has it. I don't have it," Kerry said yesterday.
But at first, Kerry - quizzed by reporters on a conference call - tried to deny any links to a gas-guzzler on a day when he was touting his credentials as an environmentalist.

"The family has it. I don't have it,"
Everytime I try to get out of the SUV, they pull me back in!

That's because he's not really part of the family I guess.

FLOP flip: First he didn't, now he does; but he really didn't want to own it; she made him do it! It's her fault!

This lyin' dude just can't seem to get his stories straight!
"I ain't got no SUV...Oh, The family has one."

He just doesn't know the meaning of the word "own". Remember Dims have trouble with words of three letters or less, but I hear they specialize in four letter words....

This whole anti-SUV business is one of Rush's most impressive "see, I told you so" moments. When he first proposed it years ago I thought he was crazy for thinking the enviornmental wacko's would attack my favorite form of transportation. Alas, it's now part of presidential politics.

If one is really good with picture editing we can get a flip-flop SUV and maybe a good swisher or flasher can get Kerry in a gymnastics cartoon. I am not that talented with the joys of binary code yet!
To: kattracks
Maybe she just doesn't let him drive it....

The scandal is not that Kerry drives one. The scandal is that Kerry feels it important that he not drive one.

..... but he really didn't want to own it; she made him do it! It's her fault! I wonder what Kerry does when his wife uses her private jet, flies commercial?
To: kattracks
So a guy who wants to lead the most powerful nation on earth can't even influence his family's choice of vehicles?

I'm pretty sure they had the fire hydrant in front of their Beacon Hill manse moved in order to park their Jeep Grand Cherokee.I could be wrong on the model but it sure wasn't for a Chrysler.

Am sure they own more than one car....Wonder what the other ones are? If they own more than one, maybe he was saying they don't own "A" SUV...They own several....Depends on what the meaning of "A" is!

Any Kerry article should be accompanied by the obligatory flipflop photo.

Kerry needs to be confronted with questions of why he doesn't give away his numerous homes to homeless because he doesn't need all of them. Just like the rich don't need the tax cuts-Kerry doesn't need all those homes, the homeless do.

Somewhere in the Oval Office Bush is laughing hysterically. If I were Kerry I'd start writing my concession speech.
