| Powell Calls Skeery’s Bluff on Boasts |
| 2004-03-15 |
| From Wash Times. EFL / Fair Use Like some before him, Kerry snared by large boasts Secretary of State Colin L. Powell yesterday challenged Sen. John Kerry, the likely Democratic nominee, to identify the foreign leaders who he says want to see him elected president. Oh really? Mr. Kerry said last week foreign leaders have told him face to face: "You’ve got to win this one. You’ve got to beat this guy." He said the foreign leaders cannot say so publicly for fear of displeasing the Bush administration. "If he feels it is that important an assertion to make, he ought to list some names," Mr. Powell told "Fox News Sunday." "If he can’t list names, then perhaps he should find something else to talk about. I don’t know what foreign leaders Senator Kerry is talking about. It’s an easy charge, an easy assertion to make." Talks the talk. Then tumbles over tongue & ego. As if this is something to actually brag about... Mr. Kerry declined yesterday to name any of those leaders, saying private conversations should stay private. Private enough to cover his ass, he thinks, but not so private that it prevents him from making the claim, however. How, um, convenient! Remember "I invented the Internet!"? Well so do the authors of this article - there’s a laugh riot of previous stupid statements - just like Skeery’s - The Artful Dodger. |

| #14 LOL! Methinks that was a little too much information - but very glad to have you back!!! I can quote a ton o' Dylan too - so much of it is timeless... Ask him if he can identify this set of verses: For them that must obey authority That they do not respect, in any degree Who despise their jobs, their destiny Speak jealously of them that are free Do what they do just to be Nothing more than something they invest in While some, on principles, baptize Too strict party platform ties Social clubs in drag disguise Outsiders they can freely criticize Tell nothing except who to idolize And say God bless him While one who sings with his tongue on fire Gargles in the rat-race choir Bent out of shape by society's pliers Cares not to come up any higher But, rather, get you down in the hole That he's in --- Can you say LLL? This is their true philosophy. |

| #13 Thx Dot. My cousin stopped by yesterday, He hates Bush, reads Bob Dilan lyrics as poetry. Said he was sick of Bush's negative campaigning. Huh!? Since you asked(?). Had a piece of colon snipped. About 12". Not like I needed it any more, vile diseased thing. Dr says I'll be fine once I can blow it out my ass again. |

| #12 Lucky - Most excellent to have you back! Good comment!!! Something that really drives me wild is the LLL gambit, and Skeery is doing it all over the place so far, of posing a phony question or point, as if it came from Bush, and then answering it with some test-market favorite sound byte. The media covers his speeches and utterances as if he has something to say. What comes out of his mouth is a "bold" refutation of something Bush didn't say (and is invariably something he wouldn't ever say under any circumstances) - and it's picked up and repeated by the lot of the "news" outlets. Old Joe Average, who doesn't watch much news - and the little he does get comes from those outlets that are wholly owned subsidiaries of the Jackass Party - and he hears this repeated for a coupla days. Then comes another round, a brand new phony statement, test-marketed canned refutation, etc. Eventually, old Joe's gotta conclude that Bush is spouting some seriously wild-ass shit - when he's actually said nothing of the kind, ever. As a programmer, I hit a "does not compute" loop because I know Bush said no such thing. This is total intellectual dishonesty by the Jackasses and it really chaps me. |

| #11 Sounds like Kerry has told a lie and is skeeered to admit it. Any Dems out here have a take on this. Or is it really just a gaffe to you? Sounds to me like a guy being clumsy propping himself up while putting someone else down. It's kind of a childish thing to me. It shows a character weakness. Pettiness, thats it. Could Kerry actually be a petty pumped up rich kid from the blue side of Mass? Perhaps raised in a very wealthy blue blood family, educated in expensive European schools, married wealthy women. Besides being a liberial Senator, what else has this guy done? I just wish somebody would take this on. Do you folks think Kerry will resign his Senate seat, ala Dole? I think the weird dude is a latino, prolly from Mexico via the San Diego gap. Elliano (hard E), his homeies prolly call him Lano. Am I right muchacho. Bush hee de Baquero. Dat que paso de caballos y el toros, ehhh, peasante!? |

| #8 Could the foreign leaders be: The Mullah's of Iran Kimmie-Boy of North Korea Arafat Saddam (before his outster) Osama Bin Laden (not a pres but a leader of Al-Q) (any others?) Remember: 4 out of 5 murdering Dictators endorse Kerry. |

| #6 I believe it is Sen. Kerry's duty to the United States to disclose how close his ties are with said Foreign Leaders. For instance, are they going to assist in his campaign financially? Is George Soros one. (In fact, is George Soros properly registered as a foreign agent with the State Department?) The people have a right to know! When asked at a town meeting over the weekend, Kerry went into full condescension mode and asked his questioner "Are you a registered Republican? Are you? Answer the question. Did you vote for George Bush?" Apparently the man at the Town Meeting had, which elicited the predictable boos from the crowd. "Thank you," said John F Kerry. And that was that. (He's a New JFK for a New Century, ya know... so sayeth a bumper sticker his campaign has been working on.) |

| #5 Phil B, are you sure it's our beloved Compuserb ? maybe its our dear Eleano(r)(TM)on a misspelling gambol ?? |

| #4 "...private conversations should stay private." But if you are President Bush we will demand congressional hearings on every meeting you hold. |

| #3 I seem to have taught Compuserb a new word. Perhaps he thinks it makes him look intelligent. Hint spelling it 3 diferent ways in one attempt at a sentence spoils the effect. BTW a marron is a small Australian crustacean, which I am reliably informed has a higher IQ than Compuserb. Moron! |
