The Full Dukakian Transformation

Good stuff:

In the biggest fight of his charmed life, John Kerry swung between bewilderment and anger when things didn't go his way on the campaign trial.

"I can't believe I'm losing to this idiot," the Massachusetts Democrat sighed to a staffer when President Bush's poll numbers surged in April.

You will, no doubt, recall the Saturday Night Live debate parody between Bush the Elder and Dukakis, in which Jon Lovitz, as Dukakis, remarks: "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy."

They live in a bubble. They have trouble believing that the bubble is not infinite in size, embracing the entire US, if not the universe.

Awesome article. More quotes from the KerrySpot.

Update: You Couldn't Possibly Link This to an Attack on the MSM, Could You? Well, it didn't occur to me, but it occurred to AndrewF:

Of course, fucking newsweek reports news it obviously has had for a long, long time (especially the McCain stuff) after the election, when it can't show what an ass Kerry is to potential voters.

And the MSM probably doesn't realize how bad what they just did is, or how bad it makes them look. Imagine it was BUSH saying the things Kerry said. It would have been page one, above the fold, for months.

There can be little doubt that this is 100% true.

I liked the part about the Kerry daughters dropping some "F-bombs". Can't imagine Jenna or Barbara doing something like that (unless they were drinking beer again).

Andrew F,

Newsweek disclosed some time ago that they had reporters "very close" to Kerry. In exchange for full access they promised not to write about it until after the election. All the other reporters were in "the pool."

I'm not sure these deals are a good idea, but that was the deal they made.

I've got no problem with the "deals." Newswek has been doing this since at least 1988. The deals allow reporters to write a story we would otherwise never have. I'd rather have the access and not find out what really went on until after the election, than not know at all. I plan on buying the Newsweek issue with all the gory details, and even the book.

Important Message from Recent Convert to Christianity and Yet Super-Serious Christian Tuq'r Qarlson: Actually Muslims love Jesus, it's Trump and his neocons who hate him
Tucker Carlson Network
@TCNetwork

The people in charge [Jews, of course -- ace] don't want you to know this, but Muslims love Jesus.

Islam reveres Him as a major prophet and messenger of the Lord, believes He performed miracles, and states that He will return to Earth to defeat the Antichrist. That's why Donald Trump's painting depicting himself as the Son of God offended the president of Iran. It was an attack on his religion as well as Christianity.

Trump's trolling tweet was ill-advised, but Tucker is just lying when he claims the Christianity-hating President of Iran was "offended" by this.
He's one step away from announcing his official conversion to Islam. He literally never stops praising Islam. Well, he suddenly became Christian two years ago, there's not much stopping him from converting again.
You can track Tuq'r's official conversion to Islam with this Bingo card.

@KFILE 21m

Politico is reporting that multiple people have abruptly resigned from Eric Swalwell's gubernatorial campaign: "Members of senior leadership have departed the campaign, including Courtni Pugh, a strategic adviser who served as Swalwell's top liaison to organized labor groups."

So the campaign is collapsing due to the truth of the sexual harassment allegations.
That hissing sound you hear is the air going out of the Swalwell campaign. UPDATE: No it wasn't, it was just Swalwell one-cheek-sneaking out a fart on camera
Eric Swalwell more like Eric Farewell amirite

Oil prices plunge on bizarre realization that Eric Swalwell may actually be straight. A rapey molester, allegedly, but a straight one.
