Kerry-isms

[StevenNick]

Here's a good one I found in a David Brooks column:

"There is not a right or wrong here.  There was a correctness in the president's judgment about timing.  But that does not mean there was an incorrectness in the judgment other people make about timing."

That's John Kerry on the first Gulf War.

"I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it."

--John Kerry, logician extraordinaire

Here's one from an interview John Kerry did with the Humane society that I found on the NRO blog:

HUMANE SOCIETY: "Do you have any pets that have made an impact on you personally?"

KERRY: "When I was serving on a swiftboat in Vietnam, my crewmates and I had a dog we called VC..."

Does this man ever stop talking about Vietnam?

It was a question about a frigging pet and he managed to mention his Vietnam service.  What a louse!

KERRY ON KERRY: RECKLESS AND IRRESPONSIBLE [Rich Lowry]

This is from "Face the Nation" on September 14, 2003:

Sen. KERRY: I think we need--I think we need to roll back the top end of the Bush tax cut.

McMANUS: If that amendment does not pass, will you then vote against the $87 billion?

Sen. KERRY: I don't think any United States senator is going to abandon our troops and recklessly leave Iraq to--to whatever follows as a result of simply cutting and running. That's irresponsible. What is responsible is for the administration to do this properly now. And I am laying out the way in which the administration could unite the American people, could bring other countries to the table, and I think could give the American people a sense that they're on the right track. There's a way to do this properly. But I don't think anyone in the Congress is going to not give our troops ammunition, not give our troops the ability to be able to defend themselves. We're not going to cut and run and not do the job.

Look, we could--we could do this job over a period of time at greater loss, at greater risk, and with much loss around the world with respect to the United States. The question is will we do this the best way possible so that we do the best to protect our troops and the best to advance the safety and security of the United States?

SCHIEFFER: Senator, let me...

Sen. KERRY: My plan will do that.


Interesting, huh?
