Lame duck? Lame duck, you say? I got yer lame duck right here...

[Surya Gayatri]

He moved the world while walking on a pair of crutches!

This is a lame duck (or 'canard boiteux' in French):

[riversedge]

1. I do hope he gets a Nobel Peace

prize. I do think we have averted war for a while at least.

[Surya Gayatri]

2. Hope a movement is underway for his nomination. It's quite a long process.

[Skittles]

4. just curious why he voted for the IWR

he had to have known it was utter garbage

[Surya Gayatri]

6. His post-SoS book will reveal all. The pro-war propaganda was being

catapulted in pretty heavy barrages.

[Skittles]

10. I knew it was bullshit

so did he

[NanceGreggs]

3. K&R.

[JDPriestly]

5. What a great guy! We shall see how the agreement works out.

I'm sure our government will watch Iran's performance of their promises very carefully.

It was hard to get the agreement, but making sure it is kept will be just as hard.

Kerry is realistic. I'm sure he would be the first to agree with me on that point.

This is a step in the right direction, but the goal of real peace and cooperation has not yet been reached.

[Surya Gayatri]

7. ^^^This!^^^

It was hard to get the agreement, but making sure it is kept will be just as hard.

[SusanaMontana41]

8. That is hysterical!

Where have you been all my life?

[Surya Gayatri]

9. Me or Sec. Kerry? I've mostly been in France, where I still live...

[SusanaMontana41]

11. That's an easy one. Call me and whisper sweet nothings in French. n/t

[Surya Gayatri]

12. Rien, rien, et encore rien...

(Nothing, nothing and still nothing)

[SusanaMontana41]

13. Perfect. Keep whispering. Say that again. n/t

[SusanaMontana41]

14. The photo of Kerry with his mouth open reminds me of my dad. Kills the buzz. n/t

[Surya Gayatri]

15. Just leaving the hospital after his surgery. Tired and in pain.

[karynnj]

16. exactly, and he was answering a few questions

Asked by the media before leaving. That's why is his mouth is open.

[SusanaMontana41]

19. Thanks. I knew that. I was JOKING. sheesh

[karynnj]

20. You are pretty sensitive --- after your own rather rude, insensitive comment

The picture IS uncomfortable. He is on crutches and he had broken his femur. Per other articles, he opted not to use the heavy painkillers, sticking to Tylenol, because he hated the affects of the painkillers - and because he worked through that time. He opted to have a short press availability because there were weird rumors about why he wasn't in public.

[SusanaMontana41]

22. Enjoy yourself. Excuse me. I some paint that I need to watch dry. eom

[Divernan]

17. He IS speaking into a microphone.

[SusanaMontana41]

18. Lighten up! Sheesh. eom

[flamingdem]

21. Kerry is da man

and quite popular with Iranians, after Obama

[Rex]

23. There is a new term being sent out and it is Mighty Duck.

Obama (and his SOS) will be the first Mighty Duck to finish his last 2 years (on record) doing more good for the country, then any other POTUS in contemporary history.


"Catch up, step aside or get stepped on."

[Surya Gayatri]

24. Mighty Duck is on his way, Mighty Duck will save the day!!! LOL!

27. Hey there Cha! Great pics! Miiighty Ducks! LOL!

[pinboy3niner]

26. I'm proud to have volunteered for him in '04

Drove from CA to battleground Ohio to work for Kerry for a couple of months as a Kerry Traveler.

After his war experience it's no surprise that he values diplomacy. A true statesman.

[Surya Gayatri]

28. Truly, truly a great man. Slimed, dragged through

the RW swiftboat swamp, and still ready to step up and do what's right.

Bravo to you, pinboy, for walking the walk (or 'driving the drive' - LOL!) and making that continental journey!

[pinboy3niner]

30. After the election I drove to D.C.

I told a couple of Kerry's committee interns who'd taken time off to work with us in Ohio that I'd be at the Wall. One of them rode down on his bike and found me there, and invited me back to Kerry's office. So I got the office tour, though I felt a bit intrusive in his personal office space when he wasn't there.

Also visited his committee offices, and ended up staying with a top committee aide and her partner while I was in D.C. Kevin, I'm talkin' about you! Wonderful folks!

Met the couple running a Kerry website and it was the wife who introduced me to the FDR Memorial, dropping me off there for a visit--the memorial was built after I moved away from D.C., so I'd never seen it. After that election, reading FDR's words inscribed there brought tears to my eyes.

I met and worked with a lot of people connected with Kerry, and their stories only solidified my high opinion of him. The director of my field office in Ohio knew Kerry from way back in the anti-VN war movement, and it was an honor to work with her.

And none of that would have happened if it hadn't been for the swiftboat lies. That's what pushed me over the edge and got me off the dime to drive to Ohio to volunteer for Kerry. We didn't win, but I'll never regret the experience and the wonderful folks I met.

[Surya Gayatri]

31. You oughta write a book - a memoir about your VN war experiences

and since...! You have a way with words and lots to tell.

[pinboy3niner]

32. Thanks

That's what my medic from Vietnam told me when he found me 20 years later.

"We should write a book."

I had to tell him that a lot of vets had written books by then, and some of them were very good. It's hard to top Tim O'Brien's 'The Things They Carried.' Best novel about the Vietnam War, for my money. And Joe Galloway co-authored the best non'fiction battle account, 'We Were Soldiers once...And Young.' We're hoping to have Galloway speak at an event in my community soon. He signed my copy of his book when I met him at a Cav reunion event when the book came out.

I enjoy working with vets' groups and and on vet and community projects here. That's enough for me. But who knows? Some day I may feel like writing about something.

[Surya Gayatri]

33. The muse may visit you yet, who knows?

In the meantime, well done for supporting your fellow vets.

[Cha]

29. An awesome statesman and a diplomat, pinboy.. thank you for being a Kerry Traveler!

My sis and I drove to NH from New York to hear him speak on Nov 2, 2004.

I was a basket case for while when he lost.. but look at him now.. and then there's bush2.

[betsuni]

34. Is it wrong that when my husband and I see Kerry on the news we make ketchup jokes?

Like when he's greeting foreign leaders or in meetings we have him constantly bringing up ketchup. Mr. Kerry, I apologize!
