Hines wants the arid feminist to do national security what she did to health
care reform.

The Manchurian poster continues to support his Manchurian President and a
potential Manchurian candidate.

The problem is that bookies think so too so they are not giving good
odds on her. I was thinkings of Edwards as he would give the Democrats
their best shot but it looks like other people agree with me and at
15.6, it did not seem worth it.

On the other hand, I was stunned that Giuliani to be the Republican
Presidential Nominee in 2008 was as low as 18.3 so I grabbed a few.

How utterly fascinating! Your taste for wearisome minutae appears to
have become a major part of your rich inner life.

Have you ever thought of seeking psychiatric help to overcome your
current status as a fully-fledged - and I must admit - extremely
competent bore?

Or how about trying to develop some original thoughts instead of
plagiarizing these more literate hacks whose work and research you
constantly cut and paste as a substitute for thought and research?

The reality is that you are intellectually lazy and would do better to
post URLs for us to follow your latest thoughts as expressed by those
with somewhat greater literary talents than those which Yale has
apparently attempted to supply you.

To paraphase the late Jesus Christ, pick up thy pen and write
something original, other than the meaningless insults, slogans and
steady flow of self-congratulation with which your posts are replete.

I do hope these little pointers will not affect the intense admiration
which I know you have developed for my persona and the helpful hints
with which I attempt to steer you away from your more grotesque
plunges into print; the effect being not unlike a large sack of
excrement hitting the sidewalk, ad nauseam.

not necessarily those of The Highlander.

John Forbes Kerry continues to make an abject fool of himself.

He is obviously terribly chagrined to realize he is simply not taken
seriously as a Presidential candidate -- and no "A list" donors and staffers
are stepping forward to aid him.

The man is a political pariah, always a show horse rather than a work horse
in the Senate and not widely respected or liked by his colleagues.

We are VERY lucky sound American voters rejected this horse's fundament and
gave him a thumbs down in 2004.  He would have been a DISASTER as POTUS.

Kerry may well have a difficult time in his run for the Senate in 2008 as
well -- let's hope so.

The sooner he is off the National Stage the better.

Hillary is correct -- "There Are No Do-Overs In Life."

Democrats are not so dumb as they were when they nominated William Jennings
Bryan THREE times [1896, 1900 & 1908] and he lost all three times -- or when
they nominated Adlai Stevenson TWICE [1952, 1956] and he was whipped BOTH
times by Eisenhower.

Kerry is Dead Meat as far as being a Presidential Candidate is concerned --
and he may well find it difficult to hold on to his Massachusetts Senate
seat.

John Kerry Slams His Own Country At Davos

Jan 27 2007

<http://sayanythingblog.com/index.php>

Here’s John Kerry speaking while sitting just a few feet away from Mohammad
Khatami, the former President of the Iranian terror state.

<http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2007/01/27/politics/main2404562.shtml>

 Kerry was asked about whether the U.S. government had failed to adequately
engage Iran’s government before the election of hard-liner Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad in 2005.

 Kerry said the Bush administration has failed in addressing a number of
foreign policy issues.

 “When we walk away from global warming, Kyoto, when we are irresponsibly
slow in moving toward AIDS in Africa, when we don’t advance and live up to
our own rhetoric and standards, we set a terrible message of duplicity and
hypocrisy,” Kerry said.

 “So we have a crisis of confidence in the Middle East — in the world,
really. I’ve never seen our country as isolated, as much as a sort of
international pariah for a number of reasons as it is today.”…

 Kerry criticized what he called the “unfortunate habit” of Americans to
see the world “exclusively through an American lens.”

The Bush administration walked away from Kyoto?  Methinks the Senator is
revising history:

 On July 25, 1997, before the Kyoto Protocol was finalized (although it had
been fully negotiated, and a penultimate draft was finished), the U.S.
Senate unanimously passed by a 95–0 vote the Byrd-Hagel Resolution (S. Res.
98), which stated the sense of the Senate was that the United States should
not be a signatory to any protocol that did not include binding targets and
timetables for developing as well as industrialized nations or “would result
in serious harm to the economy of the United States”. On November 12, 1998,
Vice President Al Gore symbolically signed the protocol. Both Gore and
Senator Joseph Lieberman indicated that the protocol would not be acted upon
in the Senate until there was participation by the developing nations. The
Clinton Administration never submitted the protocol to the Senate for
ratification. . . .

 The current President, George W. Bush, has indicated that he does not
intend to submit the treaty for ratification, not because he does not
support the Kyoto principles, but because of the exemption granted to China
(the world’s second largest emitter of carbon dioxide). Bush also opposes
the treaty because of the strain he believes the treaty would put on the
economy; he emphasizes the uncertainties which he asserts are present in the
climate change issue.

It was a unanimous Senate (with five abstainers) as well as the Clinton
administration who walked away from Kyoto.  The current administration
walked away from Kyoto as well, but for the same reasons as the Clinton
administration.  Kerry himself, in fact, voted for the Byrd-Hagel Resolution
to keep us out of Kyoto.  Yet here he is now, a decade later, dishonestly
accusing the current administration of isolating this country from the world
on an issue like Kyoto that Kerry himself opposed for the very same reasons
the Bush administration opposes it.

Kerry is simply DISHONEST and RESENTFUL at the core, way down deep -- like
Pogue Gans, he absolutely wallows in Anserine, Duplicitous Hypocrisy and
Self-Deception.  -- DSH

Why should we believe anything that comes out of this guy’s mouth?  It’s bad
enough that he’s sitting next to one of America’s enemies bad mouthing his
own country, but he’s flat-out lying in what he’s saying as well.

BINGO!  Kerry is a wimpish LIAR too. -- DSH

Oh, and stopping off to give an autograph to a guy who supports executing
gays for being gay is a real nice touch.  But don’t expect any of the gay
rights groups to hold Kerry accountable for that, though.

Hilarious!

Whereas Kerry would far prefer Americans to see the World more often through
a FRENCH lens.

How Sweet It Is!

Hillary thinks that is a Smart Campaign Promise?

Saints Preserve Us if she is elected POTUS and makes all the same mistakes

Fortem Posce Animum

One questioner asked Clinton if her track record showed she could stand up
to "evil men" around the world.

"The question is, we face a lot of dangers in the world and, in the
gentleman's words, we face a lot of evil men and what in my background
equips me to deal with evil and bad men," Clinton said. She paused to gaze
while the audience interrupted with about 30 seconds of laughter and
applause.

Meeting later with reporters, she was pressed repeatedly to explain what she
meant. She insisted it was a simple joke.

"I thought I was funny," Clinton said. "You guys keep telling me to lighten
up, be funny.  I get a little funny and now I'm being psychoanalyzed."

Hmmmmmmm...

We may have another "BOTCHED JOKE" here.

Clearly she doesn't want to answer the question.
