Even Dave Barry hates Kerry

[Shotgun]

Trouble in Dem land...just hope they don't wake up and nominate Edwards:

Do You Know Who I Am?
Kerry is infamous in Massachusetts for using his status as a Senator to pull rank on unfortunate civilians, and is well known for using the DYKWIA (Do You Know Who I Am?) phrase. I don't have any stories myself, but you've got to figure that it's pretty bad if even Dave Barry has a Kerry DYKWIA story:

In conclusion, I want to extend my sincere best wishes to all of my opponents, Republican and Democrat, and to state that, in the unlikely event I am not elected, I will support whoever is, even if it is Sen. John Kerry, who once came, with his entourage, into a ski-rental shop in Ketchum, Idaho, where I was waiting patiently with my family to rent snowboards, and Sen. Kerry used one of his lackeys to flagrantly barge in line ahead of us and everybody else, as if he had some urgent senatorial need for a snowboard, like there was about to be an emergency meeting, out on the slopes, of the Joint Halfpipe Committee. I say it's time for us, as a nation, to put this unpleasant incident behind us. I know that I, for one, have forgotten all about it. That is how fair and balanced I am.

This story is from Dave Barry's September 14, 2003 column, "Staying Fair and Unbalanced in the Election Season," which unfortunately is only available for pay.

Doesn't surprise me one bit - Kerry, like 90% of these career politicians, comes from a powerful and very wealthy family. We've all encountered these types of families at some point, and they all think (for lack of a better term) "that their shit don't stink."

Just another pompous fuk in the long "great" American tradition of the tiny minority running/ruining American thanks to class seperation/segregation.

You may not like George W Bush but don't you think that he is more like the Average Joe than John Kerry. Of course the libs are going to talk about Bush not having the best grammar, or using words in wrong context, etc....But that's just another example of him being a regular guy. If you were to sit down and have an every day conversation with Bush or Kerry, I would have to say that Bush would be more fun to talk to....especially for us sports fans.

"You may not like George W Bush but don't you think that he is more like the Average Joe than John Kerry"

No, he's comes from a family of career politicans.

He's basically a Southern Kennedy.

Why do we want a President who is an "Average Joe" that uses bad grammar? Average Joes are for reality TV, not the oval office. I think I'd rather have a someone a cut above to be leader of the free world. Maybe that's just me.

Oh, and not many "Average Joe's" are sons of former Presidents who get handed oil companies and baseball franchises.
