You know John Kerry is hurting when sitting next to David Letterman during his guest appearance last night David Letterman came across as BETTER Presidential material than Kerry. Letterman made Kerry look like Dopey one of the seven dwarfs.
Is there a transcript?
I'm sure there is. Sorry, I posted this topic before noticing another LIVE thread was already on the board. oops
The glaring obviousness of Kerrys insignificance was too hard to pass up. Kerry has no there there.
Is there a transcript?...........
He delivered familiar talking points with little humor or grace
I didn't see the show but have seen brief clips. Couple of observations:
1. Kerry once again did his faux-spiritual Hindu hand clasp as he came on stage.
2. Letterman whispered in Kerry's ear as he came on. I always find that annoying. It's essentially a way of announcing to the world a variety of unpleasant things, such as:
"I, Letterman, am on the same plane as presidential candidates who are delighted to have me confide things to them," and
"People like Kerry and me exist in a different world from the peons who watch this show. We exchange things that they don't need to know and probably couldn't understand."

I heard Kerry did a top 10 Bush Tax Cut Strategies. One of them was "Let Teresa pay it all."
How stupid is this guy? I paid 3X percentage of my income that the Ketchup Queen.
I would like to see this guy sqaure off with Brit Hume and answer some real questions. We need him to sit across from someone that is wiley enough to lead this clown down a path but smart enough to not interrupt him while he is digging his own political grave.
"People like Kerry and me exist in a different world from the peons who watch this show. We exchange things that they don't need to know and probably couldn't understand."
No, he was just informing Kerry that his zipper was down.
I saw the top ten "bush's tax cuts" this a.m. on Fox -
Kerry's TEETH have grown a centimeter a day!
He had some nerve to joke about tax cuts when Teresa STILL hasn't released her tax papers!
Besides reading his "Top 10" list, Kerry also poked fun at the tedious debate negotiations between the rival campaigns that ended in agreement Monday. Kerry said he wanted running mate John Edwards to stand in the vice presidential debate, but Cheney wanted to sit. "We compromised and now George Bush is going to sit on Dick Cheney's lap," he said.
Both Bush and Democratic rival Al Gore appeared on the CBS show in 2000. Bush has not appeared on any late-night comedy shows in this campaign. Kerry also has appeared on Comedy Central's "The Daily Show with Jon Stewart" and "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno" on NBC.
Kerry's "Top 10 Bush Tax Proposals" are:
10. No estate tax for families with at least two U.S. presidents.
9. W-2 Form is now Dubya-2 Form.
8. Under the simplified tax code, your refund check goes directly to Halliburton.
7. The reduced earned income tax credit is so unfair, it just makes me want to tear out my lustrous, finely groomed hair.
6. Attorney General (John) Ashcroft gets to write off the entire U.S. Constitution.
5. Texas Rangers can take a business loss for trading Sammy Sosa.
4. Eliminate all income taxes; just ask Teresa (Heinz Kerry) to cover the whole damn thing.
3. Cheney can claim Bush as a dependent.
2. Hundred-dollar penalty if you pronounce it "nuclear" instead of "nucular."
1. George W. Bush gets a deduction for mortgaging our entire future.

2. Letterman whispered in Kerry's ear as he came on.
Catching the show last night was a fluke for me. Glad I finally got to see sKerry in all his unedited blandness. Now I'm convinced he's a zero. When I use to watch late night talk shows I noticed that about Letterman, his whispering to guests. I think he tells(nothing relevant) his guests to not trip on their way to their seat. Looks VIPish to the tv viewing masses.
Top Ten = not funny
Haven't watched Letterman since Sept 10, 2002, when they announced Bill Clinton would be his guest the next night.
Thanks for confirming that I haven't missed anything!
Didn't think it was funny either....just letting you know what is going on at SEE"BS"
you are welcome
"Kerry's tongue darts out of the center of his mouth, over his bottom lip, and sort of slithers up against his two front teeth. Disturbing."
Kerry appeared very uneasy in his own lizard skin. People who generally have something to hide, feel guilty or unconfidant fidget and get cotton mouth hence his constant tongue darting and lip licking = nerves. Wait till his debate with Bush. His own persperation will melt him down. A nation requires a qualified person for leadership positions who are naturals, at ease and confident. Not someone who has self doubts.
I wish I has seen this show. Kerry was on Imus, and for sure he ended up loosing a bunch of votes from that appearance.
A lifelong addiction to nuanced circumlocation is a very difficult habit to break. The only time sKerry is capable of clear answers, going back to Vietnam, is when he is attacking America and undermining our troops in the field.
Gee, what a great C-in-C this clown would make: "I am speaking to you from the Oval Office and I am leveling with the American people, unlike my predecessor. I am deploying more American troops to deal with the base I have allowed our opponents to establish in Canada and I am ordering them to cut off ears and rape children so that I can then criticize them for doing that. And by the way, they are bogged down in a quagmire which is all the fault of George W. Bush. Fortunately for you I have leadership which he did not and to prove it I am going up to Canada and reenact the battle and have myself filmed doing it just so you'll know what a leader I am."
It's called 'dry mouth' as Kerry is dipping into Teresa's meds.
