Oh for crum’s sake, people. It was a joke! “If you
don’t study in school you’ll end up getting stuck in
Iraq.” Get it? LIKE THE PRESIDENT! He can’t get out of
Iraq. He didn’t study. He’s stuck. John Kerry was
talking about George Bush. He wasn’t talking about our
troops. John Kerry was a troop. Anybody who can’t
figure that out is either a cynical oaf hiding their
scurrilous ass behind the troops or pretending they’re
dumber than they already are, and from all
appearances, the President falls into one of those
categories, and if its the latter, that’s a very scary
proposition indeed.
Right before Senator John Kerry blew the joke about
how dumb people get stuck in Iraq, he blew another
about how President Bush comes from the state of Texas
but now lives in the state of denial. See, its a
pattern. That’s ostensibly a joke too. Didn’t get much
of a laugh on that one either. In the “stuck in Iraq”
joke, he left out the word “us.” it was supposed to be
“you’ll end up getting US stuck in Iraq,” which is
funnier on paper especially if you read the “us” as
“U.S.” making it work on a couple of different levels.
Both of which are way beyond the cognitive range of
most college students in Pasadena. Which is why only
dogs think John Kerry is funny.
Granted. He has the timing of an end table. Part of
the problem is even when he tells a joke with all the
words intact, it still doesn’t sound like a joke. He’s
just not good at talking. He’s good at thinking.
Probably reads too. I even bet he studied. But
talking; not his strong suit, which, be honest, we’ve
known for some time now. So he botched a joke. The
President botched a war. Nobody ended up dead because
of Kerry’s botch. Except for a few Democratic
Congressional campaign managers in Indiana,
Pennsylvania and Ohio.
Where is a modern Edward R. Murrow to ask: “at long
last Mr Bush, have you no shame?” Because this
grasping for the discarded shoe of a verbal slip on
the campaign shoulder with election day looming like a
stalled 18 wheeler in the fast lane of the voters’
windshield is nothing but a cheap expedient political
ploy. Earlier on the campaign trail, the President
called a vote for the Democrats a vote for the
terrorists. Why didn’t the fabled liberal media focus
on that demagoguery? Because he does it all the time.
Not what you call your new news. Kerry, however, was
fresh meat so the media voraciously jumped so far down
his throat, all you could see coming out of his mouth
was the cuffs of their pants and the soles of their
shoes, being the only souls they possess. A joke that
doesn’t work on paper.
And even though he’s being attacked for something he
didn’t mean to do, I’m still pissed at Kerry for
falling into the trap. For proving to the whole world
the ultimate Democrat is able to screw up an election
they’re not even running in. I just hope and pray this
thing comes back to bite Bush in the butt bad. That
the American people studied. And by keeping Iraq in
the spotlight, those same plenty smart Americans will
be reminded how this administration lied and spied and
stole and sold and cheated and tortured and killed and
ignored intelligence and promoted incompetence and
defied international cooperation and incited religious
intolerance and eschewed bipartisanship and exploited
the very same troops they pretend to be offended on
behalf of and that, my friends, is no joke. Go vote.
Comic, writer, actor, commentator, apprentice pundit,
Will Durst, thinks its amusing that both parties are
running from their 04 nominees with equal alacrity.
