The John Kerry Post of the Day

New feature, folks (who am I kidding? These are all new features. Oh, wait -- no one's reading this yet anyway). I plan to try and post my latest discovery about my favorite cheese-eating surrendermonkey-looking Ketchup King cum Presidential candidate each day. That may be tough (Kerry's not that exciting a guy, Botox injections notwithstanding), but I have faith that JFK II (more on that some other day) will give me plenty of working material. And in a pinch, I can pull a Michael Moore and just make stuff up.

This is from Peter Gammons at ESPN, circa 2000, via Jonah Goldberg at NRO Online:

We have been led to cynically believe that many politicians are disingenuous and generally phony, but few will ever beat Massachusetts Senator John Kerry. This man, who changed his middle initial to be JFK and at an anti-Vietnam rally threw someone else's medals into the water, made a self-promotion appearance with Boston talk-show maven Eddie Andelman and claimed he was a big Red Sox fan from his days growing up in Groton, Mass. And at the promotion he said Eddie Yost was his favorite player.

The problem with that is just the simple fact that Eddie Yost never played for the Red Sox.
