The John Kerry Post of the Day

My latest discovery about my favorite cheese-eating surrendermonkey-looking Ketchup King cum Presidential candidate:

Featured Instigator Kevin Downing sends us this link, which may be a forecast on impending doom for the Democrtaic ticket.  Apparently the planned balloon drop following Kerry's speech last night took a bit longer than expected, leading to the following...

Don Mischer, executive producer of the convention, bemoaned the delay, saying at first, "Go balloons. Go balloons. More balloons. All balloons. All balloons. Come on guys, let's move it! . . . We need more balloons! . . . "

His remarks then grew more emphatic and profane, forcing the cable network to issue an apology to its viewers.

The best quote comes from the woman who planned the balloon drop, who claimed "We didn't have any problems."  This sounds like Kerry's economic and foreign policy plans -- let's ignore reality and make claims that don't make sense, hoping no one checks them out.  Of course, the Democrats are particularly sensitive on this issue:

In what was later cited as an omen of a doomed campaign, President Jimmy Carter waited in vain for balloons to rain on him at the 1980 Democratic convention.


I'm guessing Carter's not going to get an invite to speak again in 2008.
