He Scored a Soccer Ball

GregS sends this:

He says he'll keep his "eye on the ball" with respect to the war on terror, but every time they snap his picture, he's flinching from a ball.

Every time.

Kerry's about as comfortable with sports as a dog is with vacuum cleaners.

You do know what he is thinking dont you? " Ok now that I have that coal in my ass, if I sqeeze hard enough I can make a diamond." " Diamond....Diamond come on dammit sqeeze!!!"

When will this guy learn to stay away from sports-based photo ops?

Is there no one in this campaign who knows this?

I wouldn't mind reading some sort of serious analyzis on Kerry's seemingly desperate attempt to equate himself to Kennedy. He brags about the initials, he seems to affect the same general hairstyle, swift boats/PT boats, and not to mention these ridiculous ball throwing/catching photo-ops whenever and wherever he can, no matter how odd the circumstances. I mean, he is 60+ years old for crying out loud, why isn't anyone telling him that he isn't pulling it off? I just get Single White Female vibes off him in his apparent worship of JFK.

And another thing: This guy has been salivating for the presidency since he came back from the war. His attendance record in the Senate is nothing to brag about. Kerry had probably been planning these "spontaneous" football/soccer etc. games since he was was in dress whites. So I guess my question is, Why is he so damned bad at them? The man obviously missed his share of workdays for twenty something years and he never bothered to take a few of those afternoons off to practice catching the pigskin so he didn't look like a fool doing it?

Hey Ace,

I find the trees in the background very troubling. I wish I could remember where I saw it when I was trolling the web the other day but there was a report about a horrible tree disease that is epidemically spreading throughout the northern hemisphere and it is all due to the Bush administration's environmental policies. When a tree contracts the disease, its leaves turn all funky colors and then they fall off. It's horrible!!!!

I keep seeing these, as we all do. It gives me to wonder --

We all know the MSM are in the tank for Democrats; that is, the talking heads and pundits are. But there are a lot of other people in a news crew. Cameramen, in particular, are a blue-collar lot who tend to obsess about techie things and don't always have college degrees.

Are we seeing the evidence of a mute protest? Network Cameramen for Bush? It would sure explain the plethora of embarrassing or silly photos of Kerry and Edwards.

Regards,
Ric Locke

Email confirmed as once used by the Muskily Heterosexual James Talarico found in leak of emails of Fling.com sex dating site:
An email address that James Talarico's attorneys confirmed belonged to and was at one time used by the Texas Democratic U.S. Senate candidate appears in a database search result associated with the adult dating website Fling.com's 2011 data breach. A Fling.com account was created with Talarico's email address just before Talarico began teaching sixth graders.

The result lists the username "mohawk787" and an account creation timestamp of December 26, 2010, at 20:56:49. The profile's interests field lists "FETISH," "GROUPSEX," "SEXUAL RELATIONS," "ONLINE FLIRTING," and "OTHER."

Townhall shared the information described in this article with the Talarico campaign and requested comment Friday morning, and in response, a mere 35 minutes later, received a four-page, detailed letter from legal counsel for Talarico that addressed some, but not all of the information described in this report.

"Well I can't believe the trans-child-obsessed Confirmed Bachelor James Talarico is into group fetish shit," said noted void phantom Doctor Nullity, The Man Who Never Existed
I'm not the guy who noted this, I saw it on X (Razib Khan maybe), but The Bulwark could be "audience capture". It might have started as the Frum / 90s-Kristol / NRO classic Eisenhower Republicanism. But nobody was reading the Bulwark except leftists.

Tallyrand has a quote on this, "I am their leader so I must follow them".

Same goes for David French, Christianity Today, and the "Anxious Bench" side of Patheos. They may have started out Christian. But it wasn't Christians signing their checks.

I'm just wondering if this flighty high-calorie pyrsyn is also in the news today for other reasons....
Update: No, it's not. Zee/Zem says they's name is like "Rob Hopkins" or something.

We call on France to exercise restraint when dispersing the freedom fighters on the streets of Paris.
