Protein Wisdom's John Kerry Interview

Posted by Bill

Jeff Goldstein scored a last minute pre-election interview with John Kerry:

Senator John Kerry: �My reaction has been clear and consistent: as Americans we are absolutely united, all of us. There are no Democrats and no Republicans, as Americans we are united in our determination to destroy, capture, kill Osama bin Laden Vietnam and all of the terrorists. Having said that, let me just note that Republicans obviously don�t want to catch or kill Osama bin Laden as badly as I do. Otherwise they wouldn�t have outsourced the responsibility to warlords in the mountains of Tora Bora. I would have done things differently.�
protein wisdom: �Well, I thought you were in favor of bringing in allies, but be that as it may --�

Senator John Kerry: �-- Snipers disguised as rocks. Exploding goats. Maybe some poisoned dates. That sort of thing...�
...
protein wisdom: �The president says that liberty is not a gift of the American people, but that liberty is a gift of God almighty to every man and woman. Do you agree with his statement?�

Senator John Kerry: �I think everything is a gift from God almighty. Liberty, our life itself. All of the blessings of this country are a gift from God. But that doesn�t mean that you can automatically make other people accept what you want them to accept. You have to bring them to the table in a thoughtful way. That�s been all of history�s truth. As President, I�ll have a giant, humongous table. And I�ll sit at that table and talk. Before I hunt down and kill the terrorists with all the fury of a war hero wronged. Vietnam.�

It's hilarious because it's so very close to the truth. Read the whole thing.

The Poon part is the best....

Sorry. Can I say "poon" or is this supposed to be a family oriented blog?

If I'm linking Goldstein it can't be a family-oriented blog.

Printed it out and gave it to my liberal coworker.

Steam is coming out of her ears right now.

Funny and true.

I received an email from Roger Wolfson, one of my old friends. He sent me the following email as I am a member of his Kinship mailing list. Here's an excerpt: "Well, those still supporting the Kerry campaign because they can�t stand Bush are missing out o�n the best part of the Kerry campaign: John Kerry. Let me ask you a question. When was the last time America elected a Liberal President? Personally, I would argue it�s been since FDR. Clinton was a moderate; Carter, a southern Governor; JFK ran from the center; and LBJ was from Texas."
