The distinguished Moonbat Senator
I never get tired of how fantastically pompous John Kerry proves himself to be, over and over again.
Martin Peretz notes a superb example, then guts the windbag.
Continuing his campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination, John F. Kerry addressed (by telephone) a conference convened by that racist hustler and prevaricator Al Sharpton.
[...]
The [New York] Times alluded to Kerry's well-known verbosity. So it wasn't surprising that he also went off and said, "Not in one phrase uttered and reported by the Lord Jesus Christ, can you find anything that suggests that there is a virtue in cutting children from Medicare." I'd actually go Kerry one further: I doubt that Jesus ever mentioned Medicare at all.
[...]
In any case, as it turns out, Kerry is not only a Roman Catholic but also an ecumenicist. Once again I rely on the Times: Kerry asserted that "the Koran, the Torah, the Gospels and the Acts of the Apostles had influenced a social conscience that he exercised in politics."
My God, what bullshit politicians feel obliged to utter! Or maybe the bullshit is already second nature, or even first. But since Kerry raised it, let me ask: What hadith of the Prophet influenced him the most, and why?
Beautiful. Hoist by his own petard. Which is most apropos, given that petard is merely one consonant away from retard, a word tailor-made -- like a bespoke suit -- for the French-speaking senator, who also happened to serve in Vietnam.
