Kerry cancels campaign appearances

This is supposedly due to foot-in-mouth disease, but I think Major John may have hurt his feelings.

Update: Some of our troops may even be employing sarcasm, as illustrated below (via The Daily Gut):

I was really hoping he could trump for our incumbent Gov this last week ...

Foot in mouth? More like head up ass.

[Carin]

More like head up ass.

Is there an ointment for that? Or at least some 'lube'.

[Major John]

And as usual, it is the reaction, not the initial statement that proves the more damaging...

[John Salmon]

Kerry is a pathetic figure. He think he's smart-he's not. He thinks he's a whiz at the politcial game-he's not. He does, however, realize that he looks just like Lurch.

The scary part, and the part I notice that hasn't been mentioned in any story of it was the crowd reaction. In my opinion, if the comment was met with anything other than the sound of silence then that is even more telling as to the nature of the Democrats and thier supporters.

Oh that's a shame. I like dissing John Kerry as much as the next guy, but it seems the soldiers made a grammatical error in their banner.

It's "We IS stuck hear n Irak", guys.

And the "r" is backwards.

Kerry is an elitist bastard..

..but in all fairness, so is George Bush.

As his Harvard professor Yoshi Tsurumi wrote;

"At Harvard Business School, thirty years ago, George Bush was a student of mine. I still vividly remember him. In my class, he declared that "people are poor because they are lazy." He was opposed to labor unions, social security, environmental protection, Medicare, and public schools. To him, the antitrust watch dog, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Securities Exchange Commission were unnecessary hindrances to "free market competition." To him, Franklin Roosevelt's New Deal was "socialism."

Choose left, choose right..We're screwed either way..

You have to kind of be an ass these days to run for national office.

I agree with him on the free market stuff, though. My problem is that he never lived up to those beliefs. He just throws money at everything.
