Appalling Jerk
Michelle Malkin has some links and responses to John Kerry's sickening statements about our troops in Iraq. Here's what he said:
“You know, education, if you make the most of it, if you study hard and you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, uh, you, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.”
What an insufferable jerk. No matter what you think of what the Republicans have done or not done to your liking, you must vote to keep our majorities in Congress if for no other reason than to keep people like John Kerry from having more power over our military. Our brave soldiers deserve more than that from us.
My nephew is in the Army had has had three tours overseas so far. He has been in South Korea, Afghanistan, and Iraq. Right now he is at Fort Bragg, and expects to be deployed to Iraq again. He does it because he knows it's the right thing to do. The thought of handing the power of the Speakership to Nancy Pelosi, who hates everything he does, makes me sick. There are a LOT of reasons to vote Republican over Democrat, but our military and our national security are #1 in my mind. Think about that Novmber 7th.
JASmius adds: Here are my first responses....
***"Make an effort to be smart"? Isn't IQ something you inherit? And what you do with it vis-a-vie education that matters? Sheesh, I reckon that's what Lurch was attempting to say, but he butchered it beyond recognition. Which, by the standard the Left applies to President Bush, says a great deal about the Boston Balker's IQ, or lack thereof.
***So everybody that enlists in the military does so because they're too stupid to do anything else? And they ALL go to Iraq? Is this to imply that any GIs who actually are more than three-watt bulbs should follow in Kerry's footsteps and dessert, mutiny, or get out and spend the rest of their lives maligning and libeling the military like he has? Would, by contrast, they luck out if they get "stuck" in strategically meaningless backwaters like Sudan or Kosovo instead?
***Is this not another avenue of sabotage against the military by attempting to harm recruitment and reenlistment efforts, thus denying the manpower for the GWOT that others of his know-nothing colleagues keep insisting we need more of?
***Why on Earth would Phil Angelides (aka the Terminator's tomato can) want John f'ing Kerry to campaign for him? Since when has an anchor ever served as a life preserver?
UPDATE: Here's the audio of Kerry's comments, if you're feeling nostalgic for his pompous-ass droning.
UPDATE II: Here's his idea of an apology:
This is an official statement from a sitting United States senator?
"Diverting attention..."? Nobody baited Mr. French into slandering American servicepeople; he ad libbed those words straight from his black, flinty, traitorous heart, which was why it was so emblematic a brain fart.
Not that the script is any great shakes either, but still....
Bottom line is your political instincts and timing are as abysmal as always.
It's really a remarkable accomplishment when you think about it: John Kerry has almost made Karl Rove redundant.
He's definitely saved the RNC some cabbage.

UPDATE II: Here's his idea of an apology:
Senator John Kerry issued the following statement in response to White House Press Secretary Tony Snow, assorted right wing nut-jobs, and right wing talk show hosts desperately distorting Kerry’s comments about President Bush to divert attention from their disastrous record...[emphasis added]
This is an official statement from a sitting United States senator?
"Diverting attention..."? Nobody baited Mr. French into slandering American servicepeople; he ad libbed those words straight from his black, flinty, traitorous heart, which was why it was so emblematic a brain fart.
“If anyone thinks a veteran would criticize the more than 140,000 heroes serving in Iraq and not the President who got us stuck there, they're crazy. This is the classic G.O.P. playbook. I’m sick and tired of these despicable Republican attacks that always seem to come from those who never can be found to serve in war, but love to attack those who did…No, Senator, we're not crazy; we actually listened to what you actually said. A remarkable thing for you to complain about given how you expect the entire cosmos to hang on every idiotic bromide that seeps past your sphincter lips. Perhaps some day you'll finally accept the wisdom of those who keep telling you to stick to the damned script.
Not that the script is any great shakes either, but still....
It disgusts me that these Republican hacks, who have never worn the uniform of our country lie and distort so blatantly and carelessly about those who have…These Republicans are afraid to debate veterans who live and breathe the concerns of our troops, not the empty slogans of an Administration that sent our brave troops to war without body armor.You only wore the uniform in order to spend the rest of your career hiding your seditions behind it like terrorists hiding behind human shields. The vast majority of veterans hate your perfumed, overprivileged guts. And who was it that voted against body armor for our brave troops after having voted for it?
Bottom line, these Republicans want to debate straw men because they’re afraid to debate real men.
Bottom line is your political instincts and timing are as abysmal as always.
