 I guess his official title would be Secretary of State John F^$#ing Kerry

Kerry aides insist he’s not angling for the job and point to his long involvement in foreign affairs. It started with his famous testimony as a 27-year-old veteran questioning the Vietnam War before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee. It continues today, at age 64, as the No. 3 Democrat on the same panel.

Biden might be funnier as secretary. Imaging the foot-in-mouths from him.

And I must say, Senator McCain handled these miscreant losers with class!

GUTLESS!

John McCain’s proposal is nothing more than a political stunt, and we don’t need any more ‘Mission Accomplished’ banners or walks through Baghdad markets to know that Iraq’s leaders have not made the political progress that was the stated purpose of the surge. The American people don’t want any more false promises of progress, they deserve a real debate about a war that has overstretched our military, and cost us thousands of lives and hundreds of billions of dollars without making us safer.

Yet again one of life’s great truths is proven! Challenge a Leftist to back up their rhetoric with action or facts, and they will run like a cheap pair of hose!

He continues to harp on the need for agricultural experts in Afghanistan. He insists they are desperatey needed to teach the Afghans how to grow something other than poppies. As Hot Air explains the Afghans already jnow HOW to grow other crops! The needs are in other areas.

Here is the video of Gaffesiah beating the dead dumb horse!

Wait, did I say gaffe? No, my friends this was a DAMNED LIE! A DAMNED LIE worthy of Al Gore in the 2000 campaign. Hillary may have Tuzla, but the Gaffesiah has his uncle!

UPDATE!! It was not Uncle Gaffesiah, but Great-Uncle Gaffesiah!, Oh and he liberated Orhduf, not Auschwitz. OOPSSIAH!

Exit question: And you thought Slick Willie had SMS?

Ah, the wonder of the Messiah Gaffesiah!

The gaffe master is now seeing dead people in his audience.

And, the Barack Obama Campaign actually posted video of this latest Obama gaffe on YouTube.

This time Barack Obama is seeing America’s fallen heroes in his audience in New Mexico:

This is priceless! Obama lays the blame for Hugo Chavez, who came to power during Bill Clinton’s watch, being first elected in 1998, squarely at the feet of President Bush! 

Since the Bush Administration launched a misguided war in Iraq, its policy in the Americas has been negligent toward our friends, ineffective with our adversaries, disinterested in the challenges that matter in peoples’ lives, and incapable of advancing our interests in the region.

No wonder, then, that demagogues like Hugo Chavez have stepped into this vacuum.

As LGF points out This is certainly not the first time Obama has botched historical facts. I wonder too, how would Obama fare in a history test?

Here comes Kerry to attack Bush, and McCain, and to salute Obama’s promises to talk with our enemies.

When Bush accused “some” — including Obama, Bush aides explained — of “the false comfort of appeasement,” McCain echoed this slander. “What does he want to talk about with [Mahmoud] Ahmadinejad?” McCain asked, fumbling to link Obama to the Iranian president’s hateful words. Soon, a GOP talking point was born.

End game?

Are both Obama and McCain looking at Mayor Nanny? I would understand the Messiah looking at the possibility, after all, they share a great number of big government ideals. But McCain? Surely that would be the worst possible choice and would lose the election by alienating the base even further.

The morning before John McCain’s sprightly turn on Saturday Night Live on May 17, the de facto GOP presidential nominee had breakfast at Sarabeth’s on Central Park South with Michael Bloomberg and his girlfriend, Diana Taylor. This much you may have read in the Post, which reported that the trio consumed scrambled eggs and coffee and left a 20 percent tip. (The tab was picked up by the McCain campaign—which is akin in its degree of absurdity to a homeless guy’s stuffing a $5 bill into Warren Buffett’s pocket.) A McCain spokesman quoted by the Post added that “discussing a vice-presidential slot for Bloomberg was not on the agenda.” But a source close to the mayor informs me that the topic of McCain’s V.P. search was very much on the menu. One of the participants, in fact, came away from the conversation under the distinct impression that Bloomberg is on McCain’s short list.

Speculation about the possibility of Mike for veep is nothing new, of course. It’s been bubbling ever since late February, when the mayor decided, once and for all, not to launch an independent bid for the White House. Yet, by and large, the ruminations have revolved not around Bloomberg’s being McCain’s running mate but Barack Obama’s. The hopemonger has courted the mayor, not only orchestrating a breakfast op of his own but running an important economic speech past Bloomberg before he delivered it. And Deputy Mayor Kevin Sheekey, as is his wont, has been stoking the flames like some kind of meth-addled pyromaniac. Moreover, according to a friend of mine who witnessed the exchange, a non-Sheekey member of Bloomberg’s inner circle recently told a prominent CEO in the city that Bloomberg’s and Obama’s people held a meeting in April to discuss the former’s suitability to being the latter’s No. 2.

In a presidential year in which the unprecedented has become the commonplace, and in which the political currents swirling around the race keep carrying us into, as the cliché has it, uncharted waters, maybe it was inevitable that the veepstakes would yield a circumstance this bizarre: the presumptive nominees of both parties seriously mooting the concept of teaming up with the same dude. And not just any dude, mind you, but the Democrat turned Republican turned Independent, divorced, Jewish billionaire mayor of our glorious metropolis. The mind doth fairly reel at the notion—and even more so at the fact that it might actually make sense for either of them.

Please say some prayers for him and his family. This is terrible news

US Senator Edward M. Kennedy, the veteran lawmaker from Massachusetts who is the last surviving brother in the legendary Kennedy family, has been diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor, his doctors said today.

Whining? YOU BETCHA!

Sen. Barack Obama ripped into a Republican ad today that targets comments made by his wife, Michelle, and called the GOP tactic “low class” and “detestable.”The Illinois senator told “Good Morning America” that he expects hardball tactics from the Republicans if he becomes the Democratic presidential nominee.

Remember 1992? The Democrats cared not about Bil Clinton being a draft-dodger, in fact, they celebrated it. In 2004 they were awed by John Kerry’s military experience, and today they gladly cheer any military voice as long as it supports their “get out of Iraq now” rhetoric.

Has the left finally has embraced military serrvice? Not so much!

Republican presidential candidate John McCain’s family background as the son and grandson of admirals has given him a worldview shaped by the military, “and he has a hard time thinking beyond that,” Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Ia., said Friday.

“I think he’s trapped in that,” Harkin said in a conference call with Iowa reporters. “Everything is looked at from his life experiences, from always having been in the military, and I think that can be pretty dangerous.”

Ah, so now military men are “dangerous”? Harkin continues his idiotic spiel.

Harkin said that “it’s one thing to have been drafted and served, but another thing when you come from generations of military people and that’s just how you’re steeped, how you’ve learned, how you’ve grown up.”

How tolerant!

Seems like this type of thing is getting to be a problem for Obama.

Ah,  the heartbreak of SMS!

Five years into the future to be exact and sees a vision of the great things he has acomplished.

The major point they are trying to make, and it is an asinine one, is that since McCain never actually saw ground combat in Vietnam, he does not grasp why we need to leave Iraq ASAP!

In these skirmishes, McCain is the outlier. Among his fellow combat veterans in the Senate, past and present, he is the only one who has continued to champion the war in Iraq; by contrast, Kerry, Webb and Hagel have emerged in the years since the invasion as unsparing critics of American involvement there. (In a new book, Hagel, who voiced deep concerns about Iraq even as he voted for the war resolution in 2002, predicts that the war will turn out to be “the most dangerous and costly foreign-policy debacle in our nation’s history.”) This divide among old allies may be the inevitable result of a protracted war that has cleaved plenty of American households and friendships. But it may also be that the war is revealing underlying fractures among the Senate’s Vietnam coalition.There is a feeling among some of McCain’s fellow veterans that his break with them on Iraq can be traced, at least partly, to his markedly different experience in Vietnam. McCain’s comrades in the Senate will not talk about this publicly. They are wary of seeming to denigrate McCain’s service, marked by his legendary endurance in a Hanoi prison camp, when in fact they remain, to this day, in awe of it. And yet in private discussions with friends and colleagues, some of them have pointed out that McCain, who was shot down and captured in 1967, spent the worst and most costly years of the war sealed away, both from the rice paddies of Indochina and from the outside world. During those years, McCain did not share the disillusioning and morally jarring experiences of soldiers like Kerry, Webb and Hagel, who found themselves unable to recognize their enemy in the confusion of the jungle; he never underwent the conversion that caused Kerry, for one, to toss away some of his war decorations during a protest at the Capitol. Whatever anger McCain felt remained focused on his captors, not on his own superiors back in Washington. Despicable! The media and Democrats  are absolutely obssessed with resurrecting Vietnam.

How much heartache can Hill take?

There are endorsements, then there are endorsements. And this one has to hurt Hillary Clinton.The National Abortion Rights Action League’s Pro-Choice America political action committee, which has steadfastly backed Clinton throughout her political career, gave its blessing today to Barack Obama.

Doh! and Double Doh!

Obama posited — incorrectly — that Arabic translators deployed in Iraq are needed in Afghanistan — forgetting, momentarily, that Afghans don’t speak Arabic.“We only have a certain number of them and if they are all in Iraq, then its harder for us to use them in Afghanistan,” Obama said.

Hot Air has more on the gaffes and the weak rebuttals from the Obama camp.

Oh, go ahead, accuse me of piling on Hillary. But take a reality check here. Tonight she won in West Virginia but is still 20 million in the red. She even trails McCain on being green. Obama has even started acting like Hillary isn’t in the race anymore. Even her “friends” are starting to ogle Obama. And worst of all, the biggest joke on TV is comparing her to Al ” Pimp My Hair” Sharpton! No wonder she is getting desperate for endorsements.

Yes He Can!

Of boy! What a glorious choice he would be. Voting for McCain would be hard enough, but adding a “Social Conservative” that has too much nanny- stater in him would make it nearly impossible for me.

Mike Huckabee, the former governor of Arkansas and defeated contender for the GOP presidential nomination, is currently at the top of John McCain’s short list for a running mate. At least that’s the word from a top McCain fundraiser and longtime Republican moneyman who has spoken to McCain’s inner circle. The fundraiser is less than thrilled with the idea of Huckabee as the vice presidential nominee, and many economic conservatives—turned off by the populist tone of Huckabee’s campaign and his tax record as governor—are likely to share that marked lack of enthusiasm. But here is the logic of picking Huckabee:1) He is a great campaigner and communicator who could both shore up support in the South among social conservatives (Huckabee is a former Baptist minister) and appeal to working-class voters in the critical “Big 10″ states of Pennsylvania, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ohio.2) As any pollster knows, voters search for candidates who “care about people like me,” and Huckabee would probably score a lot higher on that quality than millionaire investor Mitt Romney. Plus, given all the turmoil on Wall Street, 2008 would seem to be a bad year to pick a former investment banker for veep.Ah, the ultra-important (candidates who care about people like me) voters. Or as I prefer to call them, “idiots who ought not vote, or brush their teeth without adult supervision” demographic. Hokeybee could get some of those with his impersonation of a Democrat act, which we saw plenty of during his campaign.

 The winners of  MoveOn’s “create your own Obama ad”. Creative, yes. Effective? to those who think with emotions likely so. Full of “hope” and calls for “change”, sure. But as you watch these video ads, notice what is missing. Oddly enough it is the very same thing missing from Obama himself. Substance!

Well, the ad says he is opposed to higher taxes and increased government regulations, that sounds OK. But, he also makes the claim that climate change is wreaking havoc with weather too.

Is he trying to be a “maverick”? Does he really believe in man-made climate change? Is he just trying to play both sides here? Watch the ad and decide.

Why is history important? Why is a working knowledge of it so crucial, especially in our leaders? Jack Kelly lays out why it matters so, and also clearly illustrates why Obama, simply is UNFIT, for the office of president!

In his victory speech after the North Carolina primary, Sen. Barack Obama said something that is all the more remarkable for how little it has been remarked upon.
