Dumb Political Moves

Just this week, at Pasadena City College, Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass) said:

"You know, education, if you make the most of it, you study hard, you do your homework, and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

That last sentence reveals how the good Senator really feels about the military people who are in a far away land, doing a difficult job. How he feels about volunteers.

We already know how he feels about Viet Nam vets:

They told their stories. At times they had personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads, taped wires from portable telephones to human genitals and turned up the power, cut off limbs, blown up bodies, randomly shot at civilians, razed villages in fashion reminiscent of Genghis Khan, shot cattle and dogs for fun, poisoned food stocks, and generally ravaged the countryside of South Vietnam in addition to the normal ravage of war, and the normal and very particular ravaging which is done by the applied bombing power of this country.

I'd say, off-hand, that Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass) is a 14-karat liability to any politician within twenty miles.

This is a "leader" of the Democratic Party. A former candidate for President, and a serving Senator.

Whew!
