WELL, NOW WE KNOW

In the blog two down, I ask why John Kerry’s mother would feel compelled to remind her son about integrity – three times – on her death bed. The Mary Cheney dust up may explain it.

In the Wednesday debate, Kerry said this, "If you were to talk to Dick Cheney's daughter, who is a lesbian, she would tell you that she's being who she was, she's being who she was born as." After the debate, when it was clear he had fouled up and Elizabeth Edwards tossed gas onto Kerry’s already flaming backside with her clueless two-cents on the subject, Kerry began back peddling like Pee-Wee Herman in the ring against WWE champ The Undertaker.

Kerry, ever the one for nuance (aka, Bull excrement), tried to explain away his foul up with a line of crap that he "was trying to say something positive about the way strong families deal with this issue?" Where in the first quote does he mention anything about “strong families dealing with this issue”? This would be akin to someone at the supermarket checkout line shouting, “Look! Haley’s Comet!” When you look, he stomps your foot and pushes his cart ahead of yours. When you demand to know why he stomped on your foot, he says he was only trying to be helpful by straightening your tie. You and everyone who saw the incident are completely dumbfounded by the situation but the guy responsible is just waiting in line whistling a happy tune as if nothing untoward has happened. Along comes the dolt’s wife who hears about the incident and says, “You’re just over reacting and are ashamed because your foot hurts.”

None of this makes any sense to sane people. The two take aways:

1. John Kerry’s mother, if she did remind him three times on her death bed about integrity, had good reason.

2. People who heap great praise on John Kerry for winning the three debates are ignoring:
- “The global test” - debate one
- John Kerry’s support for a federally funded partial birth abortion for a minor without parental notification – debate two
- John Kerry’s gratuitous injection of Mary Cheney – debate three
