Quote of the day

posted at 9:30 pm on June 27, 2009 by Allahpundit

“We stand corrected, the truth is every Democrat hopes Governor Palin is in the public eye for a long, long time, especially on the 2012 presidential ballot,” Kerry spokeswoman Jodi Seth says. “Lately it’s been Vice President Cheney that everyone hopes would lose the cameras and go for a long leisurely hike on the Appalachian Trail. And good grief, if anyone thinks John Kerry is afraid of strong, smart women, they sure haven’t met his brilliant wife and two independent daughters. It sounds like getting crushed these last two election cycles cost some of these Republicans their sense of humor.”

Well we finally agree on something. Now I need to go take a shower to wash off the shame.

“It sounds like getting crushed these last two election cycles cost some of these Republicans their sense of humor.”

Cute.

Captain “stuck in Iraq” presumes to lecture anyone about a sense of humor.

Long face, indeed.

Sure, it’s why everyone is so deathly afraid of making a joke about Ogabe, because it’s the Republicans who have lost their sense of humor.

Heard a funny joke the other day about a professional baseball player and one of Ogabe’s daughters….what, why are your frowning, Jodi, come on you haven’t even heard the joke yet?

MB4 on June 27, 2009 at 9:39 PM

Well, his “two independent daughters” did provide entertainment for me when I read the behind-the-scenes first hand stories from election returns 2004 and every other word out of their mouths seemed to be “f***!”. A couple of princesses who could – not – believe they weren’t moving into the castle.

Marcus on June 27, 2009 at 9:41 PM

First time in a long time I’ve agreed with a Democrat, although I bet we’re agreeing for different reasons. ;)

And no one associated with John Kerry should ever talk about a sense of humor.

irishspy on June 27, 2009 at 9:42 PM

The democrat retorts are getting weaker and weaker each and every day. A year from now, the desperation of their failed leadership will be so obvious, one of them is just going to stick out their tongue at the camera.

sherry on June 27, 2009 at 9:42 PM

No he is just afraid of the extremely wealthy woman that bankrolls his political career.

There was an embarrassing moment at a Democratic fundraiser. When John Kerry was handed a $10 million dollar check, he said, “I do.”

txag92 on June 27, 2009 at 9:51 PM

John Kerry doesn’t know how to say ‘Sorry.’ Instead he digs himself a bigger hole. What an idiot.

Watch how the great Tony Snow explains what a dummy Kerry is.

canopfor on June 27, 2009 at 9:55 PM

John Kerry is mentally ill. A classic case of paranoid schizophrenia. He was denied the presidency by an overwhelming urge by American women to puke at the meer sight of the Norville “Shaggy” Rogers look-alike. Or was the character “Shaggy” actually based on Mr. J.F.K.

Which reminds me… anyone who would change their name so they could adapt the initials J.F.K. inorder to advance their political career has already inadvertently declared their mental illness for the world to see. Sad, sad man P.O.S.

Griz on June 27, 2009 at 9:55 PM

Correct me if I’m wrong, but isn’t Palin more of a contender for the White House than Kerry?

onlineanalyst on June 27, 2009 at 9:56 PM

Pssst, John, Jenjis Khan called, he wanted to know if you’d be free to go windsurfing in Cambodia this Christmas.

For the Record, 20 seconds of googling seems to reveal that the other JFK has a history of this crap:

Quote: “Somebody told me the other day that the Secret Service has orders that if George Bush is shot, they’re to shoot Quayle. … There isn’t any press here, is there?” (Associated Press, Nov. 16, 1988).

Defense: Kerry immediately issued a statement saying: “I shouldn’t have repeated the story. It was inappropriate and I apologize for doing so.” He later told the Boston Globe that he was “kicking himself” for his “bad taste.”

Well, John, I guess you didn’t kick hard enough. Perhaps we could find some volunteers to do it for you…

trubble on June 27, 2009 at 9:57 PM

Brave words indeed from someone who lost the 2004 election. The guys is desperate to remain relevant and so he makes snide remarks that show how classless and moronic he is.

Rightwingguy on June 27, 2009 at 9:57 PM

they sure haven’t met his brilliant wife

LOL. That’s hysterical. Who are these morons?

progressoverpeace on June 27, 2009 at 9:58 PM

Oh and speaking of humor (which others have also touched upon) I’m wondering when Mr. Kerry is ACTUALLY supposed to be funny. I’m thinking us conservatives are approaching his humor from the wrong aspect. What he says aren’t supposed to be jokes. He is, in fact, the joke.

Rightwingguy on June 27, 2009 at 10:00 PM

Just when I start thinking that maybe it wouldn’t have been so bad if John Kerry won in 2004 just so Obama wouldn’t be President now, he gives me a healthy reminder why I should be glad Bush kicked his butt.

Speedwagon82 on June 27, 2009 at 10:00 PM

Heh. Kerry’s Catsup Queen can’t hold a candle to lovely Governor Sarah Palin. There’s not a Dem politico male or female (and more than a few male and female Republican politicos – pundits too, not to drop any names or anything) who wish they had the capabilities and positives which which Sarah is naturally blessed.

Eat your rotten tomato hearts out. Sarah Palin is gonna be a player whether you like it or not.

Barrack on June 27, 2009 at 10:02 PM

Lately it’s been Vice President Cheney that everyone hopes would lose the cameras and go for a long leisurely hike on the Appalachian Trail.

Undoubtedly, she ran and hid after this, because nothing scares dems like a Cheney. He tore their idiot messiah a handful of new orifices over the GITMO treason that the left tried to pull – and Cheney was being nice to the idiot.

I’d love to see Liz Cheney rip into Kerry and the lunatics around him. Liz should call for a public debate with the retard.

Crushed?

Winning by a few million votes when the entire universe was aligned in your favor and the opposition had a candidate mildly unpopular with his own base is not a crushing.

You want the definition of political crushing, see Ronald Reagan.

Why do these stiff windbags think they need to get into a public snarkathon with Sarah Palin?
She is so much better at that sort of thing than blowhard zombies like Kerry.
His so-called “humor” is a blunt club, clumsily wielded, while she has a surgeon’s scalpel, so sharp you don’t feel the cut until you’re losing blood pressure.

Where was he when she gave that convention speech?
She sliced and diced Obama with such charm, it was fascinating to watch her do her thing. That speech is being proven prophetic more and more everyday.
She was right all along.

Keep underestimating her at your own peril, morons.

John Kerry hides behind the skirt of his spokeswoman Jodi Seth, and sends her out to the podium to tell the world John FN Kerry isn’t afraid of women.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

A priest, a rabbi, and John Kerry went into a bar. The bartender asked, “The usual, guys?”

They all nodded. So the bartender whipped up a guinness for the priest, a schnaps for the rabbi, and a douchebag for John Kerry.

Upstater85 on June 27, 2009 at 10:22 PM

And good grief, if anyone thinks John Kerry is afraid of strong, smart women,

Actually, it never occured to me that he was actually afraid of women … but since you bring it up, lots of things make sense, now.

they sure haven’t met his brilliant wife

With Kerry’s grades, everyone looks to be brilliant.

and two independent daughters.

I still can’t figure this part out. Is Kerry’s spokeswoman trying to say that Kerry isn’t scared of his daughters? And what does “independence” have to do with anything? I that the best she can say for them?

I’d be offended if I were one of those daughters. “Independent”? It was like saying a blind date has a good personality.

Kick out ALL atheists so none of us have to worry about ever making them feel part of the GOP or anything like that.

STEP #2 FOR MAKING THE GOP STRONGER AND MORE CONSERVATIVE:

Prayer in Jesus Christ’s name at the start and end of each GOP meeting.

Yeah, all that chest-thumping really betrays some deep insecurity. They know they’re on thin ice. And this after conservatism is dead and all. The Democrats are more crushed by their victory than we are.

ddrintn on June 27, 2009 at 10:47 PM

Two things worth remembering;
1. The line about the 2012 election is their snarky, dismissive way of saying “we can beat her; she’s not a credible candidate.”
2. The independant daughters were raised largely by Julia Thorne, Kerry’s first wealthy wife. You know, from the marriage he wanted anulled.

As usual, he screws up, and puts out a non-apology.

Just once, just one time, I’d like to see a real apology in one of these situations.

But, I’m not waiting.
