Yeah, and if an elephant dropped out of the sky and landed on him it could have broken his back. So what?

If a chicken had teeth, it could chew gum. Again- SO WHAT? Kerry is so full of it, Bandini should be looking for him as the Golden Goose of BS.

"What is with democrats and grenades?"

I think it has to do with the pivoting arm on the side - it is so similar to a butterfly's wing. (I seem to racall something about "Butterfly Ballots.")

Let me get this straight. He has some shrapnel is his arm, but the doctor feels it helpful to mention if it had hit Kerry's eye, it "could have blinded him"? What kind of idiotic statement is that? And if he'd been shot, he could have been killed. Duh.

I would bet the so-called shrapnel that is embedded in his butt is rice! Or a fragment of rice! That is why Kerry wouldn't have it removed! Wanna bet you can't see it on an xray?

Or it could be that democrats, at least those that rise in the party hierarchy, throw like girls.

It could be a fragment of Terezaaaaaas shoe, namely a sliver of cured leather. It abcessed and the resultant purulent matter inflected Chisel Head's brain. Ala, the Flippy-floppy behavoir caused by diseased and misfiring synapes.

Kerry's forehead 'new look' since he was on vacation for three days -- Frozen stiff. He can't move the skin above his eyebrows...again. All those corrugated ruts in his forehead are gone....again. Ah, the wonder of botox. No mention of botox in any of his med. records, of course.

Kerry's doctor, Gerald Doyle, said that if Kerry had been hit in the eye by the shrapnel, it could have blinded him.

Why did Doyle stop there? He could have added that if the Viet Cong had shot a paper clip with a rubber band at Kerry, and it had hit him in the eye, it could have blinded him.

Furthermore, if Kerry had run with scissors behind a hooch, he might have seriously injured himself.

Why, if Kerry had been in Cambodia on Christmas Eve of 1968 and he'd gotten drunk with the South Vietnamese and the Khmer Rouge, he might have nodded out into his drink and aspirated enough liquid to drown in his own egg nog.

All of the above are much more likely than Kerry being a real hero. For real heroes, go to Swiftvets.com. -OhMike

And when I reached for the can of Progresso soup that I had for lunch, it could have fallen on my head, causing severe head injury.

Let me assure you, Minneapolis traffic is a piece of cake compared to the insanity of California! :)

Grew up in California-- moved out because I couldn't stand it there. I'll take CA drivers over MN drivers any day of the week, though. -- but you're right, our traffic doesn't compare.

And if my aunt was a man, he would be my uncle!!!

Speaking of California... ;-)

Minor urinary tract infection? From Olongapo, perhaps?

The difference in a 'Rat who screws up and a Republican who screws up is that the 'Rat tries to get everyone to believe, contrary to the facts, that he is a "hero" while the Republican knows he's not and has the good sense to keep his mouth shut!

next...
