I love it. That guy cooked his own goose.

[The Blitherer]

Most excellent!

God Bless our Troops, President Bush and the American Republic.

This is the gift that keeps giving. The White House should invite these soldiers for dinner one night - they did more for this election than nearly all of the President's advisers put together...

[no dems]

I love it too. I'm sure it was the same front page coverage on the Houston Chronicle, LA Times, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer.

Who cares what the racist, sexist, homophobes in the US military think? We're going to throw their votes out anyway.

I hope the GOP other than a video on their website spends whatever money it takes to keep this story alive through Tuesday.

I realize that we all tend to become delusional when it comes to politics, and "sticking up" for our guy, but what I just saw on DUmmies is beyond the pale.
They are discussing this photo, and some honestly believe that the soldiers made it too support John Kerry, and laugh at President Bush.

The DUmmies know the difference, they're just trying to convince themselves.

That guy cooked his own goose... and now he's stewing in his own Botox.

I run an anti-virus package, an anti-spyware package and a firewall on my computer, but I'm just curious - how do you clean your computer after you dip down into the filth of those DUmmies?

The GOP should use this picture of the soldiers and Deer Jon banner for an ad! It's the best!

Pride of Minnesota http://powerlineblog.com

I hadn't intended to post this classic photo, simply because I assume pretty much everyone has already seen it. But we have received several messages from readers identifying at least some of the eight soldiers as members of the 1st Brigade Combat Team of the 34th Infantry Division (MN National Guard). They're smart, they're funny as hell, and they're giving it up for the USA. We salute them with hometown pride.



Kerry, meanwhile, has finally apologized on his web site. It's one of those "sorry I was misinterpreted" apologies, but as some poet once said, 'twill do, 'twill do. If he'd done this 24 hours ago, he'd have been fine.

UPDATE: Victor Davis Hanson salutes the Pride of Minnesota:

One of the things I love about America is the spontaneous brilliance and humor that undermine all pretension. No better example was that wonderful banner from our brave and ingenious soldiers in Iraq...

20 million Americans must have seen it all over the Internet, and nothing sums up the nothingness of Kerryism better than those smiling soldiers. After seeing that, no wonder he's offering deer-in-the headlights apologies. This is a man who remembers everything and learns nothing.

Then there was the finger-in-the wind initial Democratic response: their supposedly slight ill breeze suddenly became a Katrina hurricane, and, Presto!, they were all over the airwaves demanding from poor Kerry the apologies that just a few hours ago they thought were not necessary.

So much for this going away quickly.

[Churchillspirit]

As Kerry is not up for re-election this year, perhaps we should focus on those dems. who are that are supporting this scumbag.

I notice that Hitlery has distanced herself from him on this one.

John Kerry once again reminds us what is great about free speech; it is easier to spot the idiots.
