Kerry in Black and White

But Monday's impromptu comments were more damaging. In addition to making a joke in West Virginia about taking a shotgun with him to the presidential debates, Kerry decided it would be a good idea in Pennsylvania to talk about how he has difficulty deciding what to eat at restaurants. "You know when they give you the menu, I'm always struggling, what do you want?" he said. A cook at a local restaurant, though, solves Kerry's dilemma by serving "whatever he's cooked up that day.

Why doesn't he just eat waffles, that's his specialty.

If that doesn't make an effective commercial against Kerry, nothing will.

From the aricle: "Kerrymeandering (a word invented by my colleague Will Saletan)..."

I like it!

I don't know. I heard he gets a real kick out of watching the cooks flip pancakes.

A cook at a local restaurant, though, solves Kerry's dilemma by serving "whatever he's cooked up that day. I think that's the way it ought to work for confused people like me who can't make up our minds what we're going to eat."

I'm beginning to get the feeling that Kerry might be intentionally trying to lose the race.

I mean you've got to be pretty dense to say something like this, knowing that you're labeled a flip flopper to begin with.

Then there was that remark this week where he equated deaths in Iraqi to losses suffered in the WOT, which is just the opposite of his talking points.

Could he intentionally be trying to "throw" the race?

***Could he intentionally be trying to "throw" the race?***

I think he's much too arrogant to deliberately throw the race. He's just plain STOOOPID!

[TigersEye]

That's kind of what he expects when he asks people to vote for him. "Just take whatever ole thing I think up today!"
