KERRY HALLOWEENS AS A HUNTER IN OHIO

Two men are hunting. They pop up from a blind and fire on the flock. Only one bird falls. They walk over to the fallen bird. The man who missed bends over to pick up the dead bird. The man who brought the bird down says, “Dude, get your hands off my bird.” It’s unlikely that a man will let another hunter carry his fallen game - your young son sure - but not your hunting buddy. Further, it’s unlikely that a man would agree to carry anyone else’s game. “Hey, you killed it. You carry it. You clean it.” is the hunting buddy motto.

So how do we explain the picture at the link? A) Kerry is the one who missed. B) The guy carrying the bird is the ultimate sycophant – “Let me carry it boss. Let me carry it boss. Please. Please. C) Kerry is such an elite, effete, snob he made the other man carry the bird. “You there, pick up that bird. I’m John Kerry and I don’t carry dead game. Besides I need the wacko PETA animal rights vote and can’t be seen carrying a dead animal. You carry it, so I can hold this shotgun over my head like Charlton Hesston at an NRA convention because I need the gun owner votes as well.”

To say this whole event was nothing more than a silly photo op, is like saying John Edwards is little more than a pretty-boy trial lawyer who during his ONE senate term has spent more time on his hair than senate business. I suppose there might be one coal miner that has been under ground for the last two years who will see the picture and say, “Looky there. Boy that Kerry is just like you an me aint he.” Of course, Kerry had to tap into his wife’s dead husband’s dough to buy a hunting outfit and shotgun that probably costs more than the man would make in a year in the mines. Everybody else who sees this phony baloney bull excrement will say, “Who’s he trying to kid.” Further, the pictures will backfire. By Friday afternoon, some bright ad team will turn this into a Dukakis in the tank type ad - something with Elmer Fudd would be funny. Cheney is already refering to this event as the "October disguise".

How much more can the state of Ohio take? The Buckeyes are on a three game Big Ten losing streak. The Guardian is assaulting the folks in Clark County with a dopy letter writing campaign trying tip the scale toward Kerry. Now, Kerry dresses up for Halloween as a hunter. As Dan Rather might say, Courage! Ohio, Courage! The election is almost here!
