Looks like John F. Kerry is emulating his idol, Kennedy, and his predecessor, Clinton, becuase he appears to now have his own bimbo eruptions.

Based on the evidentiary standards created by the Democrats over the Bush military records story, I hereby proclaim that Kerry is an adulterer.

In order for Kerry to prove his innocence, he must, release records showing where he was, every minute of every day for the past ten years. This shouldn’t be too hard- they expect Bush to be able to do this for a period thirty years ago.

Second, everyone on the planet must agree that he is innocent- otherwise the charge still stands, and since it is such a serious charge, we simply can not let it go. Yesterday a reporter asked the Bush/Cheney PR guy: ” Does it bother you that these questions have been raised about your candidate?” That really is all that matters- that a question has been ‘raised.’

Kerry must also provide several witnesses- people who will attest that the only person he has ever slept with since marrying Heiress #2 was in fact the Heiress. Then he has to take a lie detector test. Then maybe I will believe him slightly- but then I can start a meme that his statements were lies, the lie detector test was doctored, etc.

The Democrats want to play these games. Fine. I have put up with this faux outrage from the Dems for three years, and I have tried to be reasonable. The last two months let me realize what kind of people we are dealing with. Bring it on.

I guess I am a lousy judge of character. I once respected Kevin Drum, and was fooled by his alleged ‘moderation.’ No more- check out how he is slowly building the meme that Bush’s records were doctored. In his initial foray in to the issue, he stated:

Bottom line: Burkett’s story might be absolutely true. I don’t know. But there are enough red flags that I’m skeptical of it without further backup. In the meantime, caveat emptor.

In the second post, he states:

Overall, then, his story hangs together reasonably well

The Building of A MemePost + Comments (24)

This is what these asshats want-, and I am damn surprised that finally someone fought back. And guess who it was- the left’s favorite member of the administration. Rep. Brown looked like he was about to cry when Powell shot back at him. Here is the exchange, and I highly recommend watching it if you have not:

Powell fielded the assertions calmly, defending the president’s judgment and his own.

But when Brown contrasted Powell’s military experience to Bush’s record with the National Guard, saying the president “may have been AWOL” from duty, Powell exploded.

“First of all, Mr. Brown, I won’t dignify your comments about the president because you don’t know what you are talking about,” Powell snapped.

“I’m sorry I don’t know what you mean, Mr. Secretary,” Brown replied.

“You made reference to the president,” Powell shot back.

Brown then repeated his understanding that Bush may have been AWOL from guard duty.

“Mr. Brown, let’s not go there,” Powell retorted. “Let’s not go there in this hearing. If you want to have a political fight on this matter, that is very controversial, and I think it is being dealt with by the White House, fine, but let’s not go there.”

The political hack tried to get a cheap shot about Bush in the Congressional Record, and Powell handed him his ass. Watch the video- look at the expression on Brown’sface. Like the rest of the lying, loudmouthed truth bullies, he backed down at the first sign of a fight. Loser Democrats- can’t win on the issues, so they sink to this shit. Theythought they finally had an issue with this tawdry smear campaign, and all they have done is get my dander up. Fools brought another knife to a gunfight.

BTW- I can’t wait for Kerry’s voting record to come out. Should be fun watching him squirm.

Brace yourselves for a shock- Gail Collin doesn’t like who the President has chosen to be membersof the Intelligence commission

Though dignified and bipartisan, the members lack the technical expertise to really unravel what was wrong with American intelligence and suggest how to fix it. And Mr. Bush withheld the mandate to get at the big political question they could answer: Did the administration hype intelligence to increase support for the war?

The co-chairmen are appropriately of opposite parties: Charles Robb, a Democrat who married Lyndon Johnson’s daughter and went on to be elected as governor and senator in Virginia, and Laurence Silberman, a Republican and retired appeals court judge who was a Reagan appointee. The other five members include Senator John McCain, a maverick Republican known to speak his mind; Lloyd Cutler, who was legal counsel for two Democratic presidents; Richard Levin, president of Yale University; and Patricia Wald, a liberal who was chief judge of the District of Columbia Court of Appeals. The only appointee with a deep knowledge of intelligence gathering is Adm. William Studeman, a former deputy director of central intelligence.

This group lacks the stature and name recognition that would give its findings commanding credibility. Worse yet, it looks as if Mr. Bush, who chose not to allow a truly independent panel, will limit its mandate to a review of intelligence gathering and analysis. He has given the panel the authority to examine why the prewar estimates of Iraq’s weapons stockpiles differ from what has been found and to evaluate intelligence on weapons programs in other countries. Mr. Bush did not ask the panel for an unfettered look at how his administration had presented the intelligence in making the case for war. By dodging that, the president leaves voters to find their own answers.

For the record, I recognized every name, which tells me something I already knew- I am smarter than Gail Collins. At any rate, I am not surprised the NY Times staff if unhappy with the mandate. The only mandate they would approve of is:

“Assume that I, President Bush, am completely guilty of lying about any and all aspects of the Intelligence, and assume that I did so to create a war for oil so I could enrich my friends in Halliburton. You now have an hour and access to nothing to prove I am innocent.”

That is about the only mandate that would please those partisan fools.
