Cheney's Ha Ha On Kerry

From remarks to be delivered by VP Cheney in Montana today:

Of course, now Senator Kerry says he was just making a joke, and he botched it up. I guess we didn’t get the nuance. He was for the joke before he was against it.

EXCERPT OF THE VICE PRESIDENT’S REMARKS

AT MONTANA VICTORY RALLY

As Prepared for Delivery

Time and time again, we're seeing examples of Democratic Party leaders apparently having lost their perspective concerning the nature of the enemy we face, and the need to wage this fight aggressively. No sharper example can be found than the Democratic Party chairman himself, Howard Dean, who said the capture of Saddam Hussein didn't make America any safer. And maybe it should be no surprise that such a party would turn its back on a man like Senator Joe Lieberman, who has been an unapologetic supporter of the fight against terror.

Instead they highlight people like John Kerry, their presidential nominee in 2004. Aren’t we lucky he lost that election? You remember John Kerry – the senator who voted for the 87 billion dollars before he voted against it … the guy that was always lecturing us about “nuances.” He’s the one, you’ll recall, who last year said that American soldiers were “terrorizing … children” in Iraq. And just this week he took another swipe at the U. S. military. Here’s what he said, word for word. Quote: “You know education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don’t, you get stuck in Iraq.” End quote. Well, apparently Senator Kerry’s the one who needs to be educated.

Of course, now Senator Kerry says he was just making a joke, and he botched it up. I guess we didn’t get the nuance. He was for the joke before he was against it.

As a leading Democratic senator, John Kerry needs to learn that the men and women serving in Iraq aren’t there because they didn’t study hard or do their homework. The all-volunteer force represents the very best of this country. They’re smart, patriotic, exceptionally well trained, and dedicated to their mission. They are heroes, and they are the pride of the United States of America.

1. Memo to Cheney: "Go fuck yourself."

Signed,
Everybody Who Ever Put On the Uniform (and me)

2. Again I have to ask-Why are they rolling Dick out a week before an election?

His 16% approval rating is actually lower than Congress's

Would this even come close to adding plausibility to their vote count?

3. And after his college deferments ran out

he had to fuck the bitch so he could get a parental deferment. Aren't they so fucking brave.

5. It's sad that he knocked up a lesbian wannabe. He couldn't even get

a straight woman.

4. How ironic...

The bloody, mass-murdering chickenhawks were doing exactly as Kerry suggested and were 'getting themselves educated' in order to keep out of a war they supported. Little good it did them, or us. :(
