"I actually was at Game 6, before I wasn't"

So, John Kerry has been telling the story of how he agonized about Bill Buckner's error in Game 6 of the 1986 World Series. He was just thirty yards away, he says, in attendance at the game.

Football Fans For Truth discovers he was actually at a political banquet in Boston on that date.

Could he have still attended Game 6? Maybe grabbed some chow and then rushed over to Fenway?

It would seem unlikely. Game 6 was played in New York.

But. . . but. . . it's seared-- SEARED!-- into his memory!

Sigh.

Ya know, I knew someone like that waaay back in high school. He always knew somebody who knew somebody who worked on the Aerosmith tour, just when Aerosmith made their big comeback.

Oh, and he once dated the chick from Small Wonder's sister.

And he knew Eddie Murphy before he became famous.

And so on, and so on.

It's like they subconciously realize their life isn't so interesting, so they have to embelish it in order to relate to the "common folk."

But hey, he's only claiming to be a Red Sox fan when they're *winning*-- it's not like Kerry's claiming to have invented the internet, or anything.

Sigh.

Are we *really* going to elect this bozo?

At least Dubya realizes he's a little slow off the draw, and jokes about it.

Kerry wouldn't understand the concept of self-deprecation if it were taught to him in French.

Cheers,
Dave

Wait. Wait. The Cambodia Red Sox were playing at Fenway that year...?

John Kerry, a member of VVARS (Vietnam Veterans Against the Red Sox), would testify before the Senate that he had seen Red Sox fans "cut off Bill Buckner's ears, cut off his head, tape wires from portable phones to his genitals and turn up the power, cut off his limbs, blow up his body, randomly shot at him, raze Buckner's home in a fashion reminiscent of Jinghis Khan..."

Other than the serious lies Kerry made about his Vietnam era service and dissent, most of his later lies are those of an inept buffoon....who is ambushed again and again by fact -checkers.

But on liars, lets be fair. Bush lies through his teeth. His 600 billion drug subsidy plan to Big Pharma? Only to "help suffering seniors and enable the Big Cancer Cure sure to come in the next year or so", he claims - just like it was touted in the last 35 years. His "It's YOUR MONEY" tax cuts to only help struggling little small businessmen create jobs? Actually borrowed money from China, Germany, France to kickback to campaign donor corporations and fatcats, inc. those "struggling small businessmen Netting 200K in profits each year - not the Mom&Pop antique shoppe or the single Mom entrepreneur who types lawyers notes.

His plan to eliminate dividends, capital gains and stock options? A great help to billionaires like Ta -rayzza Heinze Kerry to lower her total taxes to 5-7% while working slobs hit with regressive local, state, payroll, Fed fees, and Fed Income tax pay out 33% of their wages in total taxes.

Whoever you vote for, remember that both Bush and Kerry are bought whores of their special interests groups and both glibly lie to advance their true constituent's interests, or lie directly to their constituents...all to get the vote.

Kerry is notable for lying about anything to advance John Kerry, not for any cause. He is amoral. Bush at least lies for causes he honestly believes in...particularly more IOUs to foreign nations to get more wealth going to the richest individuals and corporations.

Ughhh! Your choice. Your vote.

He reaced the point, long ago, of certification for Pathological Liar.

He said he was Irish. He's not.
He said he was in Cambodia. He wasn't.
He said he shut down Organized Crime as a D.A...He didn't (he prosecuted a couple of ginmills that had illegal poker machines - big fucking deal)

And the supposed truths aren't that Big that someone would continually make shit up about them.

But he does.

Thank God for blogs.

Where do you get that propaganda?

Posted by: on October 23, 2004 09:37 PM

anonymous - you lack definition. Which party do you think lies? Which is simply telling the truth, but is unfairly described as spewing propaganda?

Kerry lying about everthing?
Bush lying to "take your back" of the wealthiest?

Make your call, laddie!

Posted by: Cedarford on October 24, 2004 12:36 AM

I'm not talking about a party. I'm talking about this tired old "tax cuts for the wealthy" garbage.

Posted by: on October 24, 2004 01:07 AM

No, no, no. The newspaper article was wrong. Didn't you see the banquet was at the World Trade Center. The one in NYC, not Boston. The paper just got there cities mixed up...

BIG NEWS UPDATE NOT FIRED

From her lawyer

"The irresponsible reports that have been published stating that Maria Bartiromo was fired or is no longer an employee of Fox are absolutely and unequivocally false," Freedman said Friday. "Make no mistake, we have the receipts and witnesses and they will come out whether through the courthouse or otherwise."

He added: "Those reporting her firing or the incredulous facts supporting that fiction have exhibited a complete and utter reckless disregard for the truth."

from anon2020
So what, she quit?
Megyn Kelly (accursed be her name) used to say all the time that Fox has a top female PR person who is a nasty pitbull and leaks nasty claims about anyone Fox is at war with, including those who have left the network. So I guess maybe she technically resigned? I don't know.
NEW: @FoxNews has obtained Lindsay Clancy defense attorney Kevin Reddington's appeal filing to the MA Supreme Court, which includes Reddington accusing the lone holdout juror of being "biased" against those with "debilitating mental illness", which he says is a protected category.

1977 interview shows that Barbara Walters has always been a seaward and Dolly Parton always had "country class"
Walters actually asks Dolly Parton if she knows that people think she's a joke. This because Walters can't get over the fact that a show-woman has 1, big breasts, and 2, dresses a bit outrageously because, get this, she's an entertainer. A stage performer. You know, someone people pay money to see live and expect them to put on a show.
She never would attack Liberace for wearing glitter-tuxedos. But she's mad that Dolly Parton makes Barbara Walters look bad through association (by being a woman). Babs, you wish people associated the two of you. Believe me, we can tell the difference.
