| WP reporter’s catty skewering of SKerry |
| 2004-06-08 |
| I like the style section of the Washington Post best when it is catty and snide. This reporter has a number of little digs on Kerry. EFL ... He [Kerry] stood in the aisle of the press section, placed his hands atop two seats and talked about how he liked the new World War II Memorial in Washington. After a few minutes, he walked a few rows forward and reasserted this for those who didn’t hear him the first time. .....The next hour and a half featured a panel of experts in a dire discussion of the unthinkable, a fact that Kerry acknowledged. "This is a daunting topic, I know," he said. "And some people will just turn off." Or just leave, which several people do at various points during the program. ... Kerry invited questions from what was left of the audience...-- the first question involved a matter of even greater concern. Senator, would you consider picking John McCain as your running mate? ...He said what he always says: He is committed to a "private, personal" process in picking his running mate. "I hope you will take that in the spirit that it’s meant," Kerry told the man. It’s not clear what that spirit is other than evasion. "Thank you, though," Kerry added. "I appreciate the question. Good try." |

| #5 He is committed to a "private, personal" process in picking his running mate. He considered consulting his fellow Democrat senators for suggestions on how to find an experienced medium to hold a seance. He remembered one of his colleagues had hired someone to contact Eleanor Roosevelt. . . . |

| #4 He is committed to a "private, personal" process in picking his running mate. It wouldn't involve Astro-Glide, would it? |

| #3 Dripping and Johnnie I recall an episode of Mystery Science Theater 3000 in which a character on the film said something and one of the robots said, "I hope you took that comment as sarcasm because that's how I intended it". |

| #2 He is committed to a "private, personal" process in picking his running mate. Poor guy. if his constant public flip-flopping, and meandering reason are any indication, the "private, personal" debates going on in his head must be a horror show. |
