See the title? You’ve been warned!
I found that I was amused that Senator Kerry exhibited his latest example of Foot In Mouth Disease during an Angeledes rally. Schwarzenegger didn’t need any more help to get elected than his double-digit lead, did he? I know! Call up John Kerry and maybe he’ll say something damaging, like how soldiers in Iraq are dumb. The GOPs will jump all over him. His people will come back and say that he flubbed the line and intended to say the president is dumb, then the GOPs will wonder if Captain Kerry from Yale always harbored disdain for enlisted men. Then the Senator will spin that into an attack on his patriotism, and on and on and on and f-ing on.
Wasn’t the common wisdom that the Dems could do very well in this election if they’d just shut the hell up and let the Republicans implode? Phil Angeledes, California’s Milhouse should’ve learned that lesson from the state’s very own in-fightin’ Republican party who can never learn to just shut up.
Hey! By the way, did you hear that taxpayer-funded professional blowhard and, um, Congressman Duncan Hunter is running for President? Now there’s a candidate for shut-up therapy if there ever was one.
Happy Election Season!
