"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...

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.
