The John Kerry Post of the Day

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

It's been a long time since I did one of these. I mean, the election was over, we won, and I spent at least a few weeks gloating like a Red Sox fan.

But I'm a sucker for nostalgia. And Long John, the King of Ketchup, the Crown Prince of Condiments, the Flip-Flopping Fool himself, made this necessary.

I've ignored the fact that he's refused to sign his Form 180 to release his military records after promising to do so on Meet The Press. Hey, he's lied before. Why would it change now?

But here comes this gem of a story regarding the Senator's continuing campaign to end what he called voter intimidation...

"Last year too many people were denied their right to vote, too many who tried to vote were intimidated," the Massachusetts senator said at an event sponsored by the state League of Women Voters.

"There is no magic wand. No one person is going to stand up and suddenly say it's going to change tomorrow. You have to do that," he said.

Kerry supporters have charged that voting irregularities in largely Democratic areas made it difficult for voters to cast ballots in the November election. A lawsuit in Ohio cited long lines and a shortage of voting machines in predominantly minority neighborhoods, but the Ohio Supreme Court dismissed the suit.

Kerry also cited examples Sunday of how people were duped into not voting.

"Leaflets are handed out saying Democrats vote on Wednesday, Republicans vote on Tuesday. People are told in telephone calls that if you've ever had a parking ticket, you're not allowed to vote," he said.
Okay. Let me find a subtle and polite way of saying this. If any Democratic voters were fooled by leaflets telling them that they were supposed to vote on Wednesday.... THEN THEY ARE COMPLETE IDIOTS AND WASTES OF SPACE.

What's even better is James Taranto's note that Kerry didn't put forth any proof of this assertion, so Taranto went looking for proof. Sure enough, he found it, in a mainstream media publication, in an article entitled "Republicans Urge Minorities To Get Out And Vote on Nov. 3rd." November 3rd was the Wednesday after the election, so maybe this was Kerry's source. Of course, maybe someone should explain to the gentleman from Cambodia that the Onion is a satirical publication.

Basically, Kerry is complaining that his voters were dumb enough to fall for a satirical joke from the Onion. And the Democrats call W. stupid?
