« New "Dr. Who" Series Will Not Feature Daleks | Main | Vice Presidential Nominee John Edwards Announces New Campaign Theme »
July 06, 2004

Kerry Picks Gephardt

The New York Post has the exclusive.

My previous position on Kerry's running mate: I don't think I could possibly care any less

My new position: Turns out I was wrong

Update: Okay, the Post got it wrong. I'm curious as to how they got it wrong-- did the Kerry camp feed them & then confirm false tips?

My position on Kerry's veep, however, remains unchanged: I just don't care either way.


Actually, I was looking forward to the "gay Daleks" cartoon.

-- So was I! (swoon!)

Yeah, truly dull and duller.

More importantly, they don't have enough teeth between them to take a bite out of our foreign enemies' asses. The Democratic Party has redoubled its effort in the work Machiavelli originally ascribed to Christianity, turning men into women. I remember how Maureen Dowd described Al Gore once: so feminized he was practically lactating. That's how most of the men on the Left strike me.

This was pretty much inevitable. A lot of union votes would not go to Kerry if he passed by Gephardt. I kind of wish he had chosen Dean though. It would have made for better jokes.

Posted by: Smack on July 6, 2004 08:14 AM

The AP is reporting that Edwards is the VP pick.

Kerry sucks.

Posted by: Scout on July 6, 2004 08:15 AM

Fox News and everyone else is saying Edwards.

Former Dukakis campaign shill Susan Ostrich is crowing that Edwards is "the next Bill Clinton."

Oh. So a lying, womanizing, self-absorbed power hog. Way to go, Dems.

Posted by: Sailor Kenshin on July 6, 2004 08:40 AM

Heh. The Post's story has been taken down.

Edwards has ten times the basic, human appeal that Kerry does, so Kerry's picking Edwards is like painting a big "L" on his own forehead. Now we can just sit back and wait for all the younger Democrats who've never had a decent civics course to start talking about how they're "really voting for Edwards" or how Edwards is "going to be, like, you know, co-President, dude."

Were you listening to rumors from gay Daleks again, Ace?

Posted by: The Black Republican on July 6, 2004 09:27 AM

I went to the corner deli and bought a couple of copies of the Post to put in a cool dry place and store for the inevitable collector market.

Murdoch should be kicking his kid that runs the Post for getting so gallingly snookered.

Now we can just sit back and wait for all the younger Democrats who've never had a decent civics course to start talking about how they're "really voting for Edwards" ...

One can only wonder why they didn't do so during primary season.

Posted by: zetetic on July 6, 2004 12:03 PM

I think this year has proven just how screwed up primary season can be. If I were a Democrat who hadn't committed suicide yet, I would be furious that the race for the nomination was over after a mere handful of states, before I got any chance to get any input into who will represent my party. I am not a Democrat, but the danger for Republicans is just as great, unless you live in one of the first states on the list.

the way Kerry flips and flops...the Post headline could be true down the road.

Posted by: sonodnixon on July 6, 2004 02:46 PM

My guess would be that the Kerry campaign fed the Post the wrong information either to (1) embarrass the paper, or (2) to try and make an even bigger story out of the mundane nomination.

Truly, does anyone really give a shit about Edwards? It was a safe choice and the expected one, but come on . . . the guy can't remember to remove his chewing gum before giving a speech.

Still, it'll be amusing to watch the liberal press, who have condemned Bush as being stupid (because too them, southern accent = moron) fall all over themselves to clamor about how brilliant Edwards is.

I actually heard a liberal today gleefully anticipating the Edwards-Cheney debate, expecting that Edwards will trounce Cheney. It's hard to believe that she could be so stupid, but then again, she is a Democrat.

Posted by: Scout on July 6, 2004 03:25 PM

That's my guess, too, but I don't want to get all Michael Moore on everyone.

Posted by: Ace on July 6, 2004 03:32 PM

To me, the choice of Edwards is perfect because it makes Kerry all the more repugnant that he has hooked up with the ambulance chaser extraordinaire.

Are you sure she wasn't joking? Cheny will make Edwards his bitch without even working up a sweat. Maybe that's why Kerry chose someone so pretty as his running mate.

Posted by: Brian B on July 6, 2004 03:59 PM

er Cheney. Sorry.

Posted by: Brian B on July 6, 2004 04:02 PM

There is no way that Beetle-mania is going to beat Big Time. Edwards is about to get a lesson in manners at the grown-up table.

But what we members of the Right-Wing Conspiracy need to do is downplay expectations -- be all, "Oh, no, Edwards is a trial lawyer ... he's so pretty ... he's so polished and smooth and shiny... (It causes me physical pain to even type these words).

And then, when the "debate" is over, when Edwards is looking for the Preparation-H, we will sit back and laugh and laugh and laugh ...

Posted by: george gaskell on July 6, 2004 04:13 PM

Hmm, so the Ken doll gets the nod. Kerry and Ken in '04! Has a certain ring to it, I suppose.

Posted by: zetetic on July 6, 2004 05:17 PM

Kerry: "Ok...Al says that for a bounce at the convention I should slip my tongue down my partner's throat..."
Edwards: "Umm..I think he meant Teresa, John."

Posted by: Senator PhilABuster on July 6, 2004 05:44 PM

Edwards: "Great to be with you, John."

Kerry: "That's Senator Kerry to you, plebeian! Oh, sorry about that. Force of habit. Heh."

Posted by: zetetic on July 6, 2004 06:46 PM

"Do you want to be Vice President? Do you? Do You? Do You?"

Posted by: on July 6, 2004 06:55 PM

That was me, by the way.

ANOTHER LEFT WING ASSASSIN ATTEMPTS TO KILL TRUMP
If I understand this, the left-wing Democrat assassin attempted to get into the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and was stopped at the magnetometers, which detected his gun. I guess he pulled out the gun and was shot by Secret Service agents.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

Podcast: CBD and Sefton talk Orban losing, but is it the end of Hungary? The Irish start a brawl, but is it enough, Pope Leo wades into politics, Trump calls Iran's bluff and blockades Hormuz, Artemis II! Swallwell is scum, and more!
People say that the bearded man in the video of Fartwell molesting a hooker looks like Democrat Arizona Senator Rueben Gallego, said to be Swalwell's "best friend" and known to take vacations with him.
@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.

This is super-obscure and I only barely remember it. Given that, I'll give you the hint that it's by the Red Rocker.

Oh, but then, you never were afraid

Oh, but it's alright with me now

Now twenty people will tell me it's not obscure, it was huge in their hometown and played at their prom. That's how it usually goes. When I linked Donnie Iris's "Love is Like a Rock," everyone said they knew that one and that his other song (which I didn't know at all) Ah Leah! was huge in their area.
