Another Kerry Football Folly

What the hell is it with this guy?

Rude joke follows. You've been warned.


This guy catches a football like a virgin with pinkeye catches a money shot. For crying out loud, you feel almost bad for throwing the ball to him in the first place. You think maybe you should have been more of a gentleman and just tossed it into a Kleenex. Less crying that way.

Never trust a man who sleeps with his eyes open or shuts them when catching a ball.

It's just not right.

H/t to StreetGOP. He's got some cool stories about the missile defense shield and why it will work, and Madonna and why she can't act.

And Yet He Keeps His Eyes Open For This Update: Like I said: what the hell is it with this guy?

I think John Sr. is trying to make it absolutley clear that John John is the "catcher" of the couple, er, running mates.

Of course, John Sr. throws like Cartman at the Special Olympics, so I'm not too sure who is pitching to the Breck Girl.

Gee, all this talk about *Bush* taking his eye off the ball...I'm having trouble deciding whether he catches worse or throws worse. I'm sure in this last week we will have ample evidence for both...

Cheers,

I guess throwing around a baseball would just make him look like *too* much of a pussy.

Maybe they should knock around a polo ball...or croquet...yeah croquet, that's more faggety.

Sentinel, if you really want a questionable sport, it would have to involve either ice skates or a well-oiled Roman.

Posted by: bbeck on October 27, 2004 09:32 AM

Give the guy a break! He's working on a Football Catching Plan as we speak. Final version hung-up on what to call the "pointy end" of the ball.

Posted by: The Old Coot on October 27, 2004 10:08 AM

Sentinel -

He DID 'pitch' a baseball - and, it did make him look like a limp noodle. Ditto his hockey experience.

See article via Sporting News

Two quotes that describe Kerry perfectly:
Though Kerry scored three goals to help Yale University's soccer team defeat Harvard in 1966, his Scottish soccer coach once told him not to "diddle with the ball," a scolding that led to the nickname "the Diddler."
and
Someone once said, and maybe it was Yogi Berra, "Anyone who carries a baseball stuffed against his palm and enclosed by all his fingers is a rink-turning kitesurfing diddler."

I say, let's all start calling him 'The Diddler'. 'Cause he catches like a pansy, and you just KNOW that nickname had to really tick him off.

Posted by: bkayel on October 27, 2004 10:44 AM

The "Diddler" .........I like that. We will need to get the word out to Rush and Hugh Hewitt and Sean and the other guys on radio so it gets some traction. "Fiddle, diddle, dee, the Diddler man is he".....I know, don't quit my day job.

Some thoughts on questionable sports:

1) Anything involving a judge is NOT a sport (no, this doesn't include referees)

2) Anything that involves the deliberate pointing of toes (my sons are not permitted to participate in any sports that involves toe-pointing - in fact, I commonly use the term "toe-pointer" to identify some folks, like, well, Sullivan)

Posted by: on October 27, 2004 06:31 PM

Sorry, forgot to sign the above post. Blame me for the toe-pointing post.

Posted by: Dear Johns on October 27, 2004 06:32 PM

Ace.

The Street thanks you.

you will forever 'slice like a fucking hammer' in my book.

Posted by: StreetGOP on October 27, 2004 07:32 PM

I have to vote for Kerry now. That photo-op convinces me he's a regular Joe.

Welcome back to the realm of the living Ace.

I have noticed before that Lurch has a hard time keeping his eyes open when he's playing football. It could be something serious.

Posted by: Joey on October 27, 2004 11:31 PM

Totally unrelated, but is Johnny Coldcuts a prophet? He called the Red Sox in 4 2 months ago.

Posted by: Jeff Kelley on October 27, 2004 11:45 PM

Did Johnny Coldcuts actually predict that?

Fuckin' amazing if he did. I'll have to find that post.

Posted by: ace on October 28, 2004 01:54 AM

If it was not Johnny's debute appearance on your site it was close to it.

Posted by: JeffK on October 28, 2004 08:42 AM

If Johnny Coldcuts is that amazing with baseball, what could he do with poltics?

Podcast: A quick postmortem of the savage beating suffered by the Republican Party and Donald Trump. And a new reason to hit the tip jar...Buy Guns For Sefton!
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.
