The Passion Play of John Kerry February 24, 2004 by Brian O'Connell Geez, you’d think a guy who traded bullets with the Viet Cong would have a thicker skin. But that doesn’t seem to be the case with Senator John Kerry. In a perplexing and peevish letter to President Bush dated February 21, the Massachusetts senator threatened to take his bat and ball and go home if the mean old president didn’t stop talking about his voting record. No doubt the journey from war hero to wuss has been a painful one for Kerry, but it seems the Senator is edging toward the same hole that swallowed fellow Democrat Howard Dean. Who knows? Maybe the Four Seasons didn’t leave a mint on his pillow that night. Or maybe his jaunty yachting outfit didn’t make it back from the cleaners in time. Nevertheless, Kerry has the vapors over an innocuous statement from Rep. Senator Saxby Chambliss inferring that the Massachusetts senator has repeatedly voted against the military, the CIA, the FBI, and, for all we know, Batman. The inference, says the Kerry campaign, amounts to a “right wing smear campaign” against the Democratic candidate for president. Not cricket, old sport. Before yet another letter goes out from the John Edwards campaign to the Kerry camp thanking it for an amazing act of political stupidity, let’s do President Bush – way too busy fighting a war on terror to be Senator Kerry’s pen pal right now – a favor. To help the President out, let’s parse Sen. Kerry’s letter and find out what he really meant in his now famous presidential missive. mensnewsdaily.com
