The John Kerry Post of the Day

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

Apparently, John Kerry paid the hospital bill for an alien. No, I'm not kidding. Check out the story at The National Debate, which presents what Jim Geraghty at the Kerry Spot labeled "the weirdest single bit of campaign news this year."

The 1995 sci-fi craptacular Species, which was mostly notable for the great "acting" of Natasha Henstridge while generally wasting the talents of Ben Kingsley and Michael Madsen, features an alien who is raised in captivity and then breaks out, looking to breed. Since the alien resembles Natasha Henstridge, it should have been pretty easy to find a suitor, even with government agents tracking her to try and destroy her (and that includes the chick from CSI, so you know the government brought out the heavy guns).

What does this have to do with our favorite Botoxed Bosox fan? Well, in the movie, a Good Samaritan helps out the alien beauty after she's hit by a car, not only making sure she makes it to the hospital and survives, but also paying her medical bills with his credit card. This leads her to go home with him, where her efforts to use him for breeding purposes abruptly ends in violent death.

The Good Samaritan character is named... John F. Kerry.

Okay, IMDB lists the name as John Carey, but the middle initial is used in the movie, and the pronunciation is dead-on. And he pays her medical bills, for crying out loud -- maybe this is the way Kerry intends to pay for his proposed health care plan!

Maybe this is why Teresa got so ticked off the other night. In case you didn't hear, the Kerrys got seperate hotel rooms in Arizona Sunday night. At the very least, this probably continues a proud Democratic tradition begun by the first JFK.

Then again, maybe John spent the night in Cambodia.
