The Invisible Hand

It Ain't Over 'Till the Fat Head Speaks

With the election only a week away, the only excitement left is wondering how the Democrats will blow it this time. Well, let's take it from the legendary "fast closer" himself:




Of course, they support the troops. And don't you dare question his patriotism!

Kerry now says that he wasn't saying soldiers were poorly educated rubes, but that he"botched" a joke.

This is plausible to me. I can't imagine Kerry delivering anything close to an unbotched joke. This is a guy so crushingly humorless that he holds a press conference to explain a joke . . . and I still don't get it.



It's been a while since I was lectured to by the pompous billionaire. As usual, it's all Kerry bluster about fighting, and the crazyness of opponents, and "real men" all from a coiffed asshole who is the only politician so elitist that he actually looks like an ivory tower.

Is this an actual issue or a distraction? Well, it brings up the contempt of the Left for the military (60% of the troops vote Republican), the derangement of Bush hatred that makes otherwise normal people behave as barking moonbats, and the harshness of political discourse.

But it's also a wonderful reminder that we came really close to electing this guy and the world is better for his defeat.
