Mark Steyn: Kerry’s just parroting his speechwriters |
2004-05-09 |
Senator Flippy has now decided this line is nonoperative. As he told the chaps at the (Wall Street) Journal, ’’You know, I called a couple of times to overzealous speechwriters and said ’Look, that’s not what I’m saying.’ Well, it’s good to know the senator has finally found a way to neutralize the flip-flop question. Many of us assumed that, when he was for the war and then he was against it and then he was for it again, that he kept changing his mind. But now it’s possible he was just being entirely consistent -- he’s always been for it, or against it, it’s just that his ’’overzealous speechwriters’’ kept putting the wrong words in his mouth. Boy, those Benedict Arnold speechwriters who take the hard-earned money of decent, honest American politicians and salt it away in their Cayman Islands bank accounts, there oughta be a law against it. Given their uncanny ability to make Kerry say what he doesn’t mean at six campaign stops a day, is it possible these overzealous speechwriters are part of the ’’Republican attack machine’’? Who is John Kerry? They weren’t his medals he threw away, just some non-name World War II vet he happened to bump into. Those aren’t his four gas-guzzling SUVs in the drive, just ones owned by his ’’family.’’ They’re not his words coming out of his mouth, just words wholly owned and operated by employees of a subsidiary unit of his wife’s holding company, Benedict Arnold Heinz Kerry Campaign Rhetoric Inc., registered in Bermuda. It takes a big man to blame everyone around him. Which is at last a rationale for the Kerry campaign: If you’re the kind of fellow who likes blaming your underlings, at least when you’re president there’s no end of underlings to blame. Steyn is on a roll. Read the whole thing. |

#2 Mr. D - It can't be Churchills parrot, although well over 35, and would certainly do a better job running the country than Kerry, the unfortunate bird is not a natural-born citizen of the USA. Therefore {squack} {squack} comes from the unfortunate senator. Kerry wanna cracker {squack}? |

#1 Actually, it's Churchhill's Parrott. But that won't work for Skerry either. |
