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.

Posted by: fat kid on October 27, 2004 08:12 PM

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?

Johnny has just predicted the outcome of the election.

Megyn Kelly finally calls out Candace Owens
Whoops, I meant she bravely attacks Sydney Sweeney for "bending the knee." (Sweeney put out a very empty PR statement saying "I'm against hate." Whoop-de-doo.)
Megyn Kelly claims she doesn't want to call people out on the right when asked about Candace Owens but then has no compunctions at all about calling people out on the right.
As long as they're not Candace Owens. Strangely, she seems blind and deaf to anything Candace Owens says. That's why this woman calls her "Megyn Keller."
She's now asking her pay-pigs in Pakistan how they think she should address the Candace Owens situation, and if they think this is really all about Israel and the Jews.

More revelations about the least-sexy broken relationship in media history
I'd wanted to review Parts 2, 3, and 4 of Ryan Lizza's revenge posts about Olivia Nuzzi, but they're all paywalled. I thought about briefly subscribing to get at them, but then I read this in Part 2:
Remember the bamboo from Part 1?

Do I ever! It's all I remember!
Well, bamboo is actually a type of grass, and underground, it's all connected in a sprawling network, just like the parts of this story I never wanted to tell. I wish I hadn't been put in this position, that I didn't have to write about any of this, that I didn't have to subject myself or my loved ones to embarrassment and further loss of privacy.

We're back to the fucking bamboo. Guys, I don't think I can pay for bamboo ruminations.
I think he added that because he was embarrassed about all the bamboo imagery from Part 1. He's justifying his twin obsessions: His ex, and bamboo. Which is not a tree but a kind of grass, he'll have you know.
Olivia Nuzzi's crappy Sex and the City fanfic book isn't selling, says CNN (and CNN seems pretty pleased about that)
On Tuesday, the book arrived in stores. At lunchtime, in the Midtown Manhattan nexus of media and publishing, interest in Nuzzi's story seemed more muted. The Barnes and Noble on Fifth Avenue had seven copies tucked into a "New & Notable" rack next to the escalator, below Malala Yousafzai's "Finding My Way." Not many had sold so far, a store employee said.

A few blocks uptown, at a branch of the local independent chain McNally Jackson Books, a few volumes lay on a table of new and noteworthy nonfiction near the front of the store. No one was lining up to get them, or even browsing. Bookseller Alex Howe told CNN around 3 p.m. that though the store had procured "several dozen" copies, not a single one had yet sold -- a figure he said was surprising, considering how many people in media and publishing work in the area.

"We ordered a lot and so far, people have not been beating down the door," Howe said. "I'm not sure where we're gonna put them because right now, supply is outpacing demand." (A manager at McNally Jackson noted that Howe was speaking only in a personal capacity, not as a representative of the store.)

She trashes Ryan Lizza for his "Revenge Porn" here. Emily Jashinsky says that when the Bulwark's gay grifter Tim Miller asked why she didn't report on the (alleged) use of ketamine by RFKJr., she broke down in tears and asked to end the interview.
