Kerry: Bush played race card at Daytona
2004-02-16
ScrappleFace.
(2004-02-16) -- George W. Bush became the first presidential candidate in 2004 to "play the race card" by appearing at the Daytona Speedway Sunday, according to John Forbes Kerry, the presumed Democrat nominee.

"Mr. Bush has again divided this country," said Mr. Kerry. "By appearing at the Daytona 500 he has condoned an economic activity in which the elite win, and everyone else loses."

The junior Senator from Massachusetts called NASCAR racing "another sweet oil deal for the Bush-Cheney-Halliburton cabal. It’s more than coincidence that Mr. Bush would make a surprise visit to oil-rich Iraq, and then do the same thing at Daytona."

As president, Mr. Kerry said he would issue an executive order mandating that all NASCAR drivers use hydrogen-powered cars. The Kerry plan calls for the Daytona 500 to be held in Kyoto, Japan, under the supervision of the United Nations, with all drivers wearing baby-blue helmets.

#7  OMG... reality imitates Scrappleface!

Check out www.mudvillegazette.com and scroll down to "Kerry's NASCAR Envy", and excerpts from an AP story on Kerry's actual remarks about Bush's Daytona 500 appearance.

Dear God... the world is going mad.

#6  Mmmm! I watched Kerry's speech on Super Tuesday, and in a fair cross section of Leftist nonsense. He made the following statement, which I thought was outrageous.

'I will free American from dependence on imported oil.'

My reaction was - and how do you propose to do this? Mandate that every SUV sold has to have a windmill on its roof?'

#5  Dave D - to reinforce your comment, I didn't catch the Scrappleface credit right away and got to the third paragraph before I went "WTF?! Even Democrats aren't this loopy!"

The line between satire and reality is way too thin these days .....

#4  As satire, this would be a helluva lot funnier if the Democrats weren't already very, very close to this level of lunacy.

Thought experiment: take the "Scrappleface" label off this item. Is it really that implausible? Not at all.

#3  Jeez.... I remember when Jimmmuah the C. attended the Daytona 500(K) or was it the Indy 500(K) can't remember. Thank goodness they never tried the 2.4 Hours of Daytona.
