ABC's The Note: That SOB Knocked Me Down

ABC ^ | 3/19/04

(More on Snowboarding F'n Kerry)

ABC News Kerry campaign reporter "Diamond" Ed O'Keefe, who, (not) incidentally, looks hot in his ski gear, files this exclusive report from atop Bald Mountain in Idaho:

As Senator John Kerry carved his Burton snowboard down a green rated Upper College run, another skier interrupted his stride, colliding with the presumptive Democratic nominee at 9,010 feet.

The slope-cade of two Ski Patrollers, several Secret Service agents, two journalists, one camera and one Kerry aide suddenly came to a halt. The Massachusetts Senator lay on the ground, removed his Smith sunglasses, and surveyed the damage.

Assured that the ABC News camera accompanying the entourage had not captured Kerry's fall, the Senator glared at your sloping Noter and assured, "I don't fall down. That son of a bitch ran into me."

Alas, the Senator's private vacation in a very public place was filled with interruption. While Kerry took a break on the "Warm Springs" run, a woman stopped to shout, "We're from Oklahoma and we love you!" The Senator's breath-catching moment quickly became an irresistible Christmas card opportunity as the woman gathered her family around the still-sitting Senator.

A duty-bound husband sheepishly said while pointing to his camera, "Hey, can we, do you mind?" Before Kerry could weigh in, the man answered his own question observing, "I guess it's kind of your job." Fortunately for the Senator, the exchange just may pay off. When asked if he intends to vote for Kerry, the Oklahoman Noted, "After seeing him ski? Yeah."

But not everyone in the solidly red state of Idaho was pleased to see the president's opponent ride Sun Valley's Challenger chair lift.

While the Senator waved to light applause outside the base camp ski lodge, inside he was greeted by a quiet chant of "Bush, Bush!" All of which brings The Note to a weighty, serious, but in no way scientific or limited to this list analysis of a major issue of the day: Ketchum vs. Crawford.

Didn't see your post before I posted, well said. Oklahomans absolutely do not support this traitor, he will be soundly thrashed here in November.

"We're from Oklahoma and we love you!

If I was there I would shout, "And we're from Texas and we hate you."

I searched yahoo news to see if the media covered this incident. I only found two which mentioned Kerry's expletive in reference to the Secret Service agent.

Ya know, Kerry has had a real bad week but the worst is yet to come. Wait till the old ball and chain gets out there with him. If you think Kerry puts his foot in his mouth wait till ya get a load of her.

You really shouldn't insult mules like that! :-)

Did ABC report this on their news broadcast...or just on the internet???

TWO CHALLENGES FOR FREEPERS:

There are two additional pieces of info that need to be filled in for this story ... I saw them referenced off another blog but don't remember where anymore. They are choice tidbits:

1. There is a man who yelled at "ET" Kerry "which foreign leader are you meeting with" or something like that.

2. There is something fishy about the elevation - this other news report I saw said there was a bus or something that took him up to that spot and then he walked (before he took off for a little fall ... or two ... or three ... or SIX ROFLMAO)

Any assistance in identifying & recalling these facts would be appreciated.

The day before, Kerry actually took the press core to the local sporting goods store and had them follow him to purchase a new jock ... kid you not. Wait until he goes for the sailboarding exhibition in the summertime - that should prove even more choice given local reporters past recollections of his annual election ritual.

oops that should have said press corps ;)

It is late at night, and my OKIE mind is slow on the uptake. However, I finally got the joke, and now I can't stop laughing!!!!

I have this theory that Kerry and Janet Reno are brothers*

I think they are the same person. Have you ever seen them
together at the same time.

"We're from Oklahoma and we love you!

I would love to be able to shout to Kerry sometime before November...

"I'm from the great state of Ohio....I hate you, and if I have anything to do with it, Buckeyes will be instrumental in defeating you in November...and YES I'M A REPUBLICAN AND I VOTED FOR PRESIDENT BUSH, you wimp!"
