Perhaps he never really stopped...
The Gift That Keeps On Giving
Somehow this never stops being funny. From the Boston Globe:
NEWTOWN, Pa.--The military record of a Democratic House candidate was under attack. So, Senator John F. Kerry ventured to the Philadelphia suburbs last week to defend Patrick Murphy--and deliver the kind of speech the senator never quite gave when his own wartime service was called into question in 2004.
"Attacking Patrick Murphy for his service is a little bit like Jessica Simpson attacking Albert Einstein's IQ," the Massachusetts Democrat proclaimed Thursday at a chilly outdoor rally at Bucks County Community College.
Golly, I'd rather have Jessica at my back in a fight. At least she wouldn't consider sticking a knife in my back and surrendering to the bad guys.
Kerry's simile is too clever by half. We guess Jessica Simpson, whoever she is, isn't as smart as Einstein was--but then, who is? More to the point, how many people can there be who have heard of both Jessica Simpson and Einstein? Kerry continues:
"A lot of these people in the GOP, the Republican Party--they think somehow that they served because they played with GI dolls when they were little," Kerry said. "The guys who really served understand what it means, and we've had enough
of these lies."
I think Mr. Smart Guy means GI Joes, who, buy the way,have never been known to fake a wound or two to get sent back home so they can slander their comrades in front of congress.
He's teasing Republicans for playing with dolls? This phony machismo would be almost cute if Kerry weren't 62 years old. Besides, it turns out the big criticism of Kerry is that he is such a wimp:
Many Democrats remain angry with Kerry over his failure to more aggressively combat Republican smears in 2004. . . .
"My reaction was to go down to Texas and punch those Swift boat guys in the mouth," said Albert Lawler, 58, who runs a tutoring business in Bucks County. "He's too much of a politician for that."
But don't worry--Kerry's mood has changed:
"I'm in a fighting mood," Kerry responded. "We--together--lost to two lies: the lie about the war in Iraq, and the lie about me personally. And if you don't think that puts me in a fighting mood, you don't know John Kerry."
Hey, John Boy, we know where Charlie lives. Why don't you look him up, tough guy?
Ooohh, John Kerry's in a fighting mood! Swift Boat Veterans, prepare to be taunted! (Thanks to Best of the Web Today for the heads up.)
