Tim Blair

Senator John Kerry carries on the Clinton/Gore tradition of being deeply committed to whomever he talked with last.

Has anyone considered the possibility that John Kerry might simply be HRC wearing a mask and walking on stilts?

Which is why, once the primary season is over and Bush gets to go after Kerry one on one - Kerry will not do much better than Dukakis (sp?) in 88.

Would a reputable psychiatrist be able to tell us if Kerry is a sociopath or psychopath (or whatever the new popular word is)?

May I suggest referring to him as Janus F. Kerry (or Janus F'ing Kerry, if you like).

Oooohhhh! I love the Janus image! I'm gonna have to try that.

John Kerry has a long history of talking out of both sides of the mouths on each face.

It'll be interesting to see if he can still do it after the botox, though.

I'm no hand with Photoshop, but couldn't someone who is make us a Janus Kerry and have Tim Post it? That could be valuable.

To be fair, maybe Kerry didn't know in October that children were being blown up in pizza parlors and on buses....

Re: the Janus comment.

US President Abraham Lincoln, a man not noted for his good looks, said that his critics accused him of being two faced, to which he replied, "If I had two faces, do you think I would wear this one?"

(for the record, I think Lincoln looked fine and was funny, too.)

Reads as if Kerry attended the Sir Humphrey Applebyschool of Politics and Govt - for those not Oxbridge material. P.&G. I : How to Wear Two Hats : this first year course is requisite foundation course for latter years.Students will learn the concept of wearing two hats,with much of the course devoted to the history of wearing two hats . Biography papers will be required, for in the lives of the great 2-hat wearers is illumination of 2-hat wearing. Scholars will note, though I I mention it in all due modesty, The biography of I Sir Humphrey Appleby is a set text.....

Dream on boys. Come November all the talk will be about "the Kerry Republicans" that delivered the White House and Congress back to the Dems. Already several GOP congressmen are moving to distance themselves from the George the Younger in the campaign. Your buzz boy is on the nose.

hehe

Someone let 'Randy out of the cupboard again. Say, 'Rand -- what's "your buzz boy is on the nose" supposed to mean? Could you translate that from Moronese for us English speakers?

Kerry Campaign Theme Song.

At least Noam Chomsky is more consistent then John Kerry!

Bush seems to be on the right track. Evidence: Miranda's catcalls are getting more obscure and incomprehensible. What she apparently does not realize is that increased psychotropic drug intake will not decrease Bush's re-election chances.

Kerry has no prayer unless Bush completely fumbles - which in politics can always happen. The representatives distancing themselves from Bush do so on two topics - the immigration policy he has backed, which is wildly unpopular the closer your state is to Mexico. The other is spending discipline. Both positions are deemed too liberal by his supporters but Kerry is not in a position to be able to attack him on either. All Republicans know that Kerry would spend more and raise taxes, and the democrats are trying to pander to the hispanic lobby even more strongly than Bush. Unemployment is leveling off and job growth is beginning to turn up - finally. About election time the economy will be noticably better to the voter who votes his pocket book - which is most of them - and Kerry will be left without an issue to push. Bush's base loves the war on terror, and they are pleased he came out strong on gay marriage. Kerry who is unwilling to commit to a strong position on either - he has waffled - will be force to take one. The gay marriage activites have actually ended up costing gay right's advocates in polling data so Kerry will be blocked there. All he will be able to do is be silent or mimic some lighter version of Bush's current position. That doesn't help him. Plus now Nadar will pick off voters who end up feeling Kerry isn't liberal enough - which is a hard concept to believe given Kerry's voting record. His is not a strong position to be in Miranda!

I think that we're all off point here. Our goal should be finding an issue that John F'ing Kerry can three sides of the issue.

A "buzz boy" is actually an American term for a fighter pilot, I got it from Daffy Duck. Someone is "on the nose" when their rotting flesh is starting to stink to high heaven.

Thus: "Your buzz boy is on the nose."

I liked the Janus idea so much I did the graphic as a campaign button.
