Somebody please whisk him back to the country club. He clearly cannot relate to the common man. In this goof, he is unable to keep his teams straight... http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=6920 To get his Ohio rallies up and rolling, Kerry used a set of jokes to open his events. In Bowling Green, his shtick went something like this: "If you elect me ... But there's one tough position I will not take: I am not going to choose between the Falcons and the Rockets" -- this is a local reference to the well-known rivalry between Bowling Green University and the University of Toledo... "I will say this," he added. "There is nothing better than Buckeye football, period!" ...On Sunday and into Monday, Kerry hit Michigan, where he attempted to use the same Ohio jokes. Clearly, the sports humor has to be taken out of his hands before he really embarrasses himself... ..."I just came here from Bowling Green," Kerry told the crowd to subdued applause. "I was smart enough not to pick a choice between the Falcons and the, well, you know, all those other teams out there. I just go for Buckeye football, that's where I'm coming from." ...In an attempt to silence the angry crowd of University of Michigan supporters, Kerry said, "But that was while I was in Ohio. I know I'm in the state of Michigan and you got a great big M and a powerhouse of a team..."
I thought he was the eloquent speaker, and debate king with the ability to think on his feet... Now the sports world has him bungfungled? Hey we found a category everyone can agree Bush has the advantage in! Bar room sports!
Yup. That and how to snort a large line of cocaine, chase it with a double shot of Jim Beam, and still not get stopped driving home!
Can't wait for Johnny to come down to Texas to talk some OU football. That'll get 'em energized! Poor Kerry will have a tough time shaking his Northeast eliteist label.
That's actually funny. I'm impressed. Been to that "timeline" site too, huh? Dubya looked goofy... still may, but He's still got my vote. BTW- What has Sosa won for any other team? An HR title? Pffft... Dubya' wins again!
At least Kerry knows he's a man... "I want to thank my friend, Sen. Bill Frist, for joining us today. … He married a Texas girl, I want you to know. (Laughter.) Karyn is with us. A West Texas girl, just like me." —Nashville, Tenn., May 27, 2004 At least Kerry knows anatomy... "I'm honored to shake the hand of a brave Iraqi citizen who had his hand cut off by Saddam Hussein." —Washington, D.C., May 25, 2004 At least Kerry knows what office he holds... "One of the most meaningful things that's happened to me since I've been the governor—the president—governor—president. Oops. Ex-governor. I went to Bethesda Naval Hospital to give a fellow a Purple Heart, and at the same moment I watched him—get a Purple Heart for action in Iraq—and at that same—right after I gave him the Purple Heart, he was sworn in as a citizen of the United States—a Mexican citizen, now a United States citizen." —Washington, D.C., Jan. 9, 2004 At least Kerry knows history... "It's very interesting when you think about it, the slaves who left here to go to America, because of their steadfast and their religion and their belief in freedom, helped change America." —Dakar, Senegal, July 8, 2003 In both quantity and quality of verbal miscues, Kerry is definitely the second-rate candidate. http://slate.msn.com/id/76886/
Pretty funny Rim. With microphones always on and cameras running i'm surprised we don't see a lot more of these 'embarrassments.' I liked the comeback! (flip flop brigade -- start your engines!). i mess up my coworkers names, the days of the week, and all sorts of other stuff daily -- and i'm not being wisked around the country!
Yeah but he doesn't know what's really important! I mean if you don't know football how can you be president? come on rim! everybody knows that!
great, i don't think i'm in the minority when i say that we have two idiots who don't know how to speak running for president. I swear, 280 million people and these are the best two guys we can get? Is there any wonder why Iraqi insurgents are rejecting our system?
