The John Kerry Post of the Day

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

The Kerry Spot highlights Kerry's sports-related gaffes on a huge sports day, courtesy of the Bush campaign. The two best excerpts, in honor of Game Seven tonight...

Kerry Says A Red Sox Victory Comes Second To His Campaign. "We've been waiting since 1918 for the Boston Red Sox to win the World Series, and … if I had a choice between the White House and the World Series this year, I'm going to take the White House. How's that?" (Sen. John Kerry, Remarks In Taylor, MI, 8/1/04)

...Negative Reaction To Kerry At Fenway Park Not "What The Campaign Was Expecting." "Almost as soon as the announcer said, 'To pitch our ceremonial first pitch on the eve of the Democratic National Convention,' the crowd made its displeasure known, at first almost uniformly booing, then showing a mixed reaction as the announcer finished by introducing Kerry. Clearly, this wasn't what the campaign was expecting, Schein says. The face of the campaign communications director dropped, the promised Kerry banners never appeared, and then, fittingly for the mixed reaction which welcomed him, Kerry left his pitch a little short, the ball hitting the infield dirt just shy of the plate and bouncing through the legs of the designated catcher, a combat veteran of the Afghan and Iraq wars." (MSNBC's "First Read," 7/26/04)

My personal favorite, of course, is Kerry's reference to "Lambert Field." As I pointed out in an e-mail to the Kerry Spot...

It should be noted for Packer fans (and all Wisconsinites) that the Packers are 0-3 this regular season since Kerry called their historic home "Lambert Field."

On the flip side, the Pittsburgh Steelers, who employed Hall of Fame linebacker Jack Lambert, are unbeaten on their homefield... Heinz Field.

Those swing voters in Wisconsin should take note of Teresa and John's secret plot against them. as for my fellow Pennsylvanians, the folks in Philly now know he prefers the Steelers, and the Steeler fans know he'll sell them out for the Patriots. Vote accordingly, Eagles Nation and Steelers fanatics.
