Shredding John Kerry

Posted By Blackfive

I'm talking of snow boarding, not a file shredder. The more I learn about John Kerry, the less I like him. This one (NYT article) via Hugh Hewitt:

Amid Natural Splendor in Idaho, a Weary Kerry Gets Away From It All
By DAVID M. HALBFINGER

KETCHUM, Idaho, March 18 — John Kerry was in the air, approaching the Continental Divide, and the candidate often ridiculed as straddling both sides of political divides was wrestling with the big matter at hand.

Should he ski, or snowboard? Or maybe both? He gave no clue where he stood. But that was Wednesday night.

A longtime adviser recently suggested that there were two John Kerrys: "indoor John and outdoor John" — one who agonizes over decisions, and another who acts boldly on them.
<...>
His next trip down, a reporter and a camera crew were allowed to follow along on skis — just in time to see Mr. Kerry taken out by one of the Secret Service men, who had inadvertently moved into his path, sending him into the snow.

When asked about the mishap a moment later, he said sharply, "I don't fall down," then used an expletive to describe the agent who "knocked me over."

The incident occurred near the summit. No one was hurt, and Mr. Kerry came careering down the mountain moments later, a look of intensity on his face, his lanky frame bent low to the ground.
<...>
Still, Mr. Kerry could not entirely escape the hazards of the arena he had left behind. He had just sat down for a bite to eat on the crowded patio near the lift line when a waiting skier, John Norris, shouted: "Hey, John! What foreign leaders talked to you?"

Mr. Kerry beat a retreat back into the lodge, to an upstairs, out-of-the-way dining area where he would be sure to draw even less attention.

Two items of interest here:

1. Hugh Hewitt uses a bit of sarcasm to make a point about John Kerry's attitude towards an agent who is willing to take a bullet for him.

There is no way in hell that I would ever want to work with/for such an arrogant jerk. I hope that Secret Service agent doesn't feel the same way, for John Kerry's sake.

2. If you ever thought that Greyhawk was being a bit harsh about calling John Kerry "Ol' Cut-N-Run", think about the last part of the article..."Mr. Kerry beat a retreat back into the lodge..."

Big "heh"!

Update 7:30PM CST: The Republican National Committee has a new commercial featuring John effing Kerry, International Man of Mystery!

LMAO!
