John Kerry: Rush Limbaugh Forced McCain to Pick Palin
« on: September 01, 2008, 12:39:54 PM »
An angry Senator John Kerry is also an entertaining John Kerry.  And on ABC's This Week yesterday, Kerry provided us with a lot of comedy entertainment including his assertion that John McCain was forced to pick Sarah Palin as his running mate by Rush Limbaugh and "the rightwing." There are a lot of other comedy nuggets in this interview conducted by This Week host George Stephanopoulos who fails to challenge Kerry on most of his absurdities including the notion that that merely traveling though countries overseas on a brief campaign stint counts as foreign policy experience. The transcript is below but to fully enjoy the flavor, you need to see the video featuring a clearly perturbed John Kerry who seems not to have gotten over his 2004 election loss. The interview begins following an appearance by Senator Lindsey Graham and Kerry sounds a bit confused (emphasis mine):

GEORGE STEPHANOPOULOS: Senator Kerry, he's joining us today from Massachusetts. You heard Senator Graham there, Senator Kerry. Good morning first of all. What's your response?

JOHN KERRY: Well, he just admitted the case. He just said we've  exposed him for being the calculating politician that he is. Barack Obama in his own speech said he's not going to attack John McCain's motives but you just heard them attack John McCain's motives. Calculating...

Palin has run a state, a town and a commercial fishing operation. Obama ain't run nothin' but his mouth. - Mark Steyn

KERRY: John McCain wanted to choose Tom Ridge. He wanted to choose Joe Lieberman. He wanted to choose another candidate but you know what? Rush Limbaugh and the rightwing vetoed it. And John McCain was forced to come back and pick a sort of Cheneyesque social conservative who's going to satisfy the base. What John McCain has proven with this choice is that John McCain is a prisoner of the rightwing, not a maverick.
  :rotf: :whatever:

I think Sen. sKerry (D-Viet Nam) has had what Frank calls a 'cerebral event'.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

its pretty simple, the dems decided to shit on women so why not take advantage of it and give a humdinger of a lady the nod ?

My fellow Americans, there is nothing audacious about hope. Hope is what makes people buy lottery tickets instead of paying the bills. Hope is for the old gals feeding the slots in Atlantic City. It destroys the inner-city kid who quits school because he hopes he'll be a world-famous recording artist.

What's the difference between Sarah Palin and Barack Obama?

One is a well turned-out, good-looking, and let's be honest, pretty sexy piece of eye-candy.

The other kills her own food.
