Somebody's getting desperate...
Ding! Ding! Ding!
Ladies and Gentleman, I smell blood in the water. Read this.
Kerry apparently told Regis & Kelly that the hold-up in getting the debates scheduled was, "The big hang-up was George Bush wanted to get life lines, you know, so he could call somebody."
Clearly it was a joke, too bad it wasn't funny. It is yet another example of how disconnected M. Kerry is with the average American, popular culture, our concerns, et al. Anybody who has never been to a Wendy's, looks incredibly uncomfortable ordering a "chili and a frosty" and still thinks "Millionaire" is current,...well, he's toast!
It would have been funnier if he had said something like:
"He wanted to negotiate how many roses would be presented in the rose ceremony after each topic of debate"
"He wanted to negotiate who would be on the jury that decided who was kicked off the island"
"He wanted to negotiate a "yield" like in the Amazing Race, effectively cutting the other person's answering time"
Those are all funnier, more current, and I came up with them in 3 minutes flat. Imagine what I could have done with more time!
Do you know how disconnected he is from the voter? He might as well be on Pluto. He's carrying a bag phone while the rest of us chat on our LG's. I wouldn't be surprised if the man didn't own a cell phone.
Here's another example of disconnected:
Here in Wisconsin, Rep. Tammy Baldwin is running for reelection. Her current ad on TV harkens back to the grand plan of...Harry S. Truman. She mentions is grand aim for universal healthcare and him by name specifically.
Yeah. Pick the guy who dropped the bomb twice, got us into the UN and NATO, expanded social security, and only fought a "limited" war in South Korea as a way to get my vote.
I'll be voting for the other guy for all of these reasons and...Ms. Baldwin was a proponent of renewing the so-called Assault Weapons Ban.
ARGH! Villains Vanquished!
