John Edwards : Half the Country Insane
2004-10-05
Hat Tip M. Drudge
FLASH:
Dem vp hopeful John Edwards cut to the chase last night on ABCNEWS NIGHTLINE:

ABC'S BOB WOODRUFF: "He has avoided the kind of negative attacks that can make national news, although recently, he has stepped up his rhetoric."

SEN. JOHN EDWARDS (D-NC) (clip of a speech): "I'd say if you live in the United States of America and you vote for George Bush, you've lost your mind."

WOODRUFF: "There's been criticism that you have been too soft."

EDWARDS: "Do I seem soft to you?"

#17  A favorite of mine too.

I also liked the one "Because you know too much, that's why."

#16  A favorite cartoon of mine, from the old Omni:
A maniacal character in a white lab coat is menacing another guy in a lab coat, the latter is chained to the wall. The maniac is saying, "Mad?Me? mad? Why yes, I'm mad, but I HAVE TENURE!"

#13  Highschool football cheer:

"Rooty-toot-toot! Rooty-toot-toot!
We are the men from the Institute!
Napa! Napa! Napa!"

#12  I remembered another one.

"Mad? MAD? Of COURSE I'm mad! But I have tenure!"

And although I usually hate it, it seems appropriate here:

"I don't suffer from insanity, I enjoy every minute of it!"

#11  "You just think that because of the cantaloupe."

What are some other good ones? Hmm.

"I'm not crazy, I've just been in a bad mood the last ten years."

Although thinking about the situation, I suspect that Breck Girl is just jealous, because there's no medication he can take to become sane. He's an attorniopath and there's nothing that can be done about it.

#9  What a dickhead. I sure hope Cheney is in good form tonight; I'd like to see him core this bozo.

#8  (Solid black screen, threatening music)

Voiceover: "The Soviet Union described those who disagreed with it as 'insane' and forced them into mental hospitals."

(Fade up to Edwards)

"I’d say if you live in the United States of America and you vote for George Bush, you’ve lost your mind."

(Freeze on Edwards' face)

Voiceover: "The Democrats think that policy was a good idea. For the sake of freedom, don't vote Democrat."

#7  Methinks Chaney will have Pretty Boy for dinner tonight. But I'm out of my mind according to Mr. Nice Hair, so what do I know?

#6  nada - sounds like the makings of a good TV ad. I can see it now: a circus theme with Kerry as the ringmaster and all the Donks' Big Tent clowns and freaks marching round in a circle. Animated would probably be best. South Park style.

#5  You can't make this stuff up. With all the goofy things Kerry himself says, he also has his sister, daughters, wife, the DNC, CBS, Michael Moore, pretty much everyone under the sun, adding to the chorus of insanity coming from the Donk side. Unbelievable. Talk about wanting to "win the hearts and minds." Kerry and his crew are their own worst enemies. You can't even bring up a vast right-wing conspiracy with these loons.

#4  stoopid comment if he's wants to pull the large numbers of dems and centrists who won't vote sKerry but might have considered (now past tense) voting for him.

#3  EDWARDS: "Do I seem soft to you?"

Only in the head, John.

#2  Yes Bulldog they do as in "Peoples Democratic Republic" circa 1960.

#1  LOL! What next? Stoopid? Lefties love the people, don't they...
