NY Times sez Kerryâ s Our Boy
The New York Times has endorsed John-Pierre Kerry in the Democratic presidential primary, saying the Massachusetts senator "exudes maturity and depth."
I was worried. Thinking maybe the NY Times would ruin my summerâs fun.
"What his critics see as an inability to take strong, clear positions seems to us to reflect his appreciation that life is not simple," the newspaper said in Thursday editions.
Nice spin, almost as funny as Kerryâs positions.
The Times said Kerryâs rival, North Carolina Sen. John Edwards has campaigned well and cited his ability to relate to people. But the newspaper said said Edwards has less experience in public office. Of Edwards, the Times said, "Itâs easy to envision him as the nominee four or eight years down the line, or on the ticket for vice president this fall."
We hereby coronate Kerry 2004âs Presidential Loser...
The newspaper said Kerry does not easily fit the mold of a "typical Massachusetts liberal" and that his positions "come from mainstream American thought, centrism of the old school."
Huh?
"He is a gun owner and hunter who supports effective gun control laws, a combat veteran who, having seen a great deal of death, opposes capital punishment," the Times said.
At least his consistency is inconsistency.
The newspaper also cited Kerryâs strong record on the environment and concerns about budget deficits, as well as his campaignâs comeback after an early fall.
Wait a minue... Didnât he tell the Teamsters he would drill the living hell out of Alaska?
The Times said Edwardsâs supporters have charged that Kerry "is on the wrong side of a charm chasm." But the newspaper said Kerry has "warmed up a good deal since the campaign began."
Nothing compared to the heat waiting for him this summer.
"In the television era, likablility is extremely important," the Times said. "But this is a serious business, and Mr. Kerry, the more experienced and knowledgable candidate, gets our endorsement."
2004 is gonna be soo much fun!
Democrats in 10 states, including New York, vote in the March 2 Super Tuesday primary.
Kerry is a commie sympathizer in the clothing of a statesman. Bye bye baby. You are going down hard.
