My Face Time With Kerry
By MARK STEYN November 6, 2006
My face time with John Kerry has been brief but choice. In 2003, I was at a campaign event in New Hampshire chatting with two old coots in plaid. The Senator approached and stopped in front of us. The etiquette in primary season is that the candidate defers to the cranky Granite Stater's churlish indifference to status and initiates the conversation: "Hi, I'm John Kerry. Good to see ya. Cold enough for ya? How 'bout them Sox?" Etc. Instead, Senator Kerry just stood there nose to nose, staring at us with an inscrutable semi-glare on his face. After an eternity, an aide stepped out from behind him and said, "The Senator needs you to move."
"Well, why couldn't he have said that?" muttered one of the old coots. Why indeed?
Right now the Democratic Party needs the Senator to move. Preferably to the South Sandwich Islands, until Tuesday evening, or better still early 2009.
He won't, of course. A vain thin-skinned condescending blueblood with no sense of his own ridiculousness, Senator Nuancy Boy is secure in little else except his belief in his indispensability. We've all heard the famous "joke" now: "You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. And if you don't, you get stuck in Iraq." (Rimshot!) Yet, tempting as it is to enjoy his we-support-our-dumb-troops moment as merely the umpteenth confirmation of the Senator's unerring ability to SwiftBoat himself, it belongs in a slightly different category of Kerry gaffe than, say, the time they went into Wendy's and Teresa didn't know what chili was.

What a great read. Steyn absolutely nails the Democrats and what they mean when they pretend to "support the troops".
Too elite to even say excuse me!
His disdain for the common man is always present, it is in fact why he couldn't apologise and instead threw a temper tantrum.
This is a great article, a must read.
This is a STERLING article...Thanks very much for posting it!
Good down to the last straddle and rimshot.
The frightening thing about Kerry is that despite the fact that he is obviously delusional to the point of mental illness, he still convinced many American's to cast their precious votes for him.
Did TaaRayZaa really not know what chili was???
The article says it all. Thanks for posting.
"The frightening thing about Kerry is that despite the fact that he is obviously delusional to the point of mental illness, he still convinced many American's to cast their precious votes for him."
He sounds like Reverend Jim Jones, doesn't he?
"The Senator can kiss my..."
"I need the Senator to go 'round thattaway."
(squinting) "What Senator?"
blueblood? More accurately 'fake' blueblood.
Even more frightening is that millions of Americans do just that. Scares the daylights out of me.
If you take out the fraud, probably about 10% and the 10% garnered from the sheeple by the MSM you see that the gigolo didn't earn much respect on his own.

The absolute best description of Kerry I have ever seen. Kudos to Mr. Steyn.
Perfect!
"And as Kerry demonstrates effortlessly every time he opens his mouth, if you detach the heroism of a war from the morality of it, what's left but braggadocio?"
He said a mouthful there!!!
Don't some folks put 'Heinz' in their chili??
The anti-defense, treasonous subterfuge from the power driven socialists and DBM has been constant. Their hologram of John F'n Kerry (now unplugged and back to his regularly scheduled programming) as a war hero, was an attempt to strike at the heart of freedom - American Armed Forces.
They are ruthless. They are evil. We are fortunate that we can VOTE them into extinction.
Mark Steyn is brilliant.
Your post states the reason I am on my knees at night, thanking G-d for sparing us this catastrophy.
"Senator Nuancy Boy"...I had to re-read that I first read it as Senator Nancy Boy and thot of Pelosi who is a like minded liberal in the house. But "nuance" is Kerrys game and Steyn hit that nail on old lurch faced Kerry very well.Back to the crypt John boy, there will be plenty of time for you to trot out and make a fool of yourself in 2008.
Then you need to read a description of that jackass from our FRiend, Darkwolf.
Ammendment to the previous post: Check darkwolf377. Kudos Darkwolf377, you hit the nail right on the head. Now, I wish you could hit the twit right on the head.
He's like a box of self-important styrofoam--puffed-up air that's full of itself.
I don't know about 'self-important styrofoam', but I'm happy to oblige you.
It's just too good. I am a Massachusetts resident, and I've been mocking this useless tool for years. The man has no charisma, no compelling life story, no values of any kind that he brings to the table, no meaningful legislation, no tax-cutting or other impulses that actually help the working man and woman, nothing interesting to say, and yet he has a job for life as does the murderous Kennedy, because of some weird free-forming guilt over the Kennedy assassinations, or something, in that case. Kerry, on the other hand, doesn't even have THAT. All he has is his short time in-country, which is more time that I served (I never entered the military at all) but to hear him go on about it you'd think he'd endured all the horrors of the Vietnam years all by himself.
He is a political mannequin, standing for nothing except the same old liberal set of clothes, which are exceedingly threadbare. It is just so enjoyable to see a man who rose to prominence on the backs of the soldiers he kicked to the ground destroying himself by using another slam on soldiers--even JOKING about them! What's even better is that this genius claims it was a botched joke, but he was too stupid to catch his "mistake" and simply say "Whoops, sorry, what I MEANT to say was..." which would have made this a one-day story.
He is a harmful idiot. It just gives me so much happiness to see him taken down by his lack of charisma combined with his lack of loyalty to the troops, in one silly moment of ignorance of the plight of men he claims to champion.
See? You did very well on that description. Obviously, Mark Steyn does it better. Have you read his latest on the 'useless tool'? I'm a foreign national. I'm embarrassed to descend into the vernacular in English. But Kerry takes me there. Maybe he's not that useless.
Steyn does such a good job of describing the utter purposelessness of Kerry's ambitions. There is simply no reason for ANYONE to vote for Kerry per se. He has no achievments, no character, no original point of view. Even politicians I dislike have qualities that make it easy to understand why others like them, but Kerry? What has he done to recommend him to any position of power?
Direct hit.
Clinton bombed more countries in a little more than six months than the Zionist neocon warmonger Bush has in six years but, unless you happened to be in that Sudanese aspirin factory, it was as desultory and uncommitted as his sex life and characterized by the same inability to reach (in Ken Starr's word) "completion."
Hey! I think I remember those guys from The Muppet Show. They were great!
And this is a FANTASTIC article. Thanks for posting it!
Nails it.
brilliant.
Kerry lacks the common touch. He is no Franklin Roosevelt. But then Roosevelt was a real blue blood aristocrat, with great self confidence, and Kerry is and has neither.
Great article.
Thanks for the ping...I had missed this.
Reading this after a long day of worrying about tomorrow, puts me in better spirits...I LOVE Mark Steyn.

Hey Jon, we have this phrase it goes something like this, "Excuse me, could I get through please, thank you.".
In the 2004 election, instead of coming to terms with it as a national security question, the Democrats looked at the War on Terror merely as a Bush wedge issue they needed to neutralize.
Herein lays the problem with the democrats, they don't really take this war seriously. In their (so-called) minds it's just like a farm bill.

IMO, it's not the self confidence or the common touch that Jon Carry is lacking......it's basic intelligence. Doubtful his IQ breaks 100.
Well don't keep it a secret! Tell me! :)
