The John Kerry Post of the Day

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

Sorry, but Friday came and went, and John Kerry did nothing foolish.

Okay, just kidding. But we do have a follow-up to Thursday's quote where Kerry jumped on the Michael Morre bandwagon to criticize Bush for waiting seven minutes and reading to kids before throwing on his cape and racing out the door. Newsmax.com has interesting revelation about Kerry's own actions on September 11th, as per a transcript from Kerry on Larry King Live on July 8th of this year:

I was in the Capitol. We’d just had a meeting—we’d just come into a leadership meeting in Tom Daschle’s office, looking out at the Capitol. And as I came in, Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid were standing there, and we watched the second plane come in to the building. And we shortly thereafter sat down at the table and then we just realized nobody could think, and then boom, right behind us, we saw the cloud of explosion at the Pentagon. And then word came from the White House, they were evacuating, and we were to evacuate, and so we immediately began the evacuation.

That all sounds pretty good, except for hanging out with Boxer and Reid (I imagine an afternoon watching repeated airings of Gigli might be more entertaining). But here's the thing: the South Tower was hit a full 40 minutes before the Pentagon.

40 freaking minutes? They sat around looking at each for 40 minutes? Spare me the criticism, Senator. Even your wife agrees, as noted by the Washington Post:

The candidate's wife, on the other hand, is not so sure an abrupt response would have been the right one. "I think the president behaved correctly in terms of being quiet amidst stunning news like that in a classroom of kids," she told the host of MSNBC's "Hardball With Chris Matthews" during an interview before the Democratic National Convention last month. "You know, what can you do? It takes you a couple of minutes to digest what you have just heard. And then he was... not in his White House and in his office with all of his people. He was in the school in Florida."

Can someone get the Senator a nice parting gift, please, and boot him off the national stage before he insults our intelligence any further?
