The John Kerry Post of the Day

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

You know, if I ever run for office, it's questionable that my significant other would agree with the policies I advocate, particularly since I'm a right-wing nut and she thinks Ted Kennedy's politics aren't all that awful.

But it's doubtful that she would follow the lead of Teresa Heinz-Kerry, who seems to think her husband isn't up to the task of running our great country...
TERESA HEINZ KERRY, America’s would-be First Lady, reinforced her reputation for blunt speaking yesterday by admitting that her husband was not qualified to hold the office.

“I think nobody is truly qualified to be President of the United States,” she said, displaying the plain speaking that has become her trademark, a possible liability for John Kerry’s campaign.

“I mean, are you qualified to run the world . . . not run it, but have that influence? No, nobody is,” she said in the latest edition of Reader’s Digest.

Many American voters may be drawn to the evident reasoning behind her argument. But others are likely to be less sympathetic. Presidential campaigns rarely admit to any human frailty on the part of their candidate.

Her honesty apparently fell flat with Reader’s Digest, which said that the message she left hanging in the air was: “Vote for John. He’s less poorly qualified than the other guy.”

Maybe this is actually a trick by the Kerry campaign. After all, maybe Teresa's arguing that only a committee could run America. And as we all know, John Kerry's got enough opinions on each issue to be a one-man committee.
