John Kerry Should Report for Duty — as the White House’s New Message Man (UPDATE: Biden Just Applied for the Job)
With rumors that Democrat message mastermind David Axelrod is on his way out of the Obama White House, I have a modest suggestion for his replacement: John Kerry. I know, I know, he’s a senator and he’d have to quit that to take on being the White House’s go-to message guy, but there’s no problem there. It’s not like a Republican could win in Massachusetts and replace him or anything. So no worries there. Don’t get a long face about it.
The nation is in crisis. The White House is in disarray. The president is in public approval freefall. His party is deserting him, and his signature achievements have become massive liabilities. His silver tongue and his TOTUS are failing him. To whom can the nation turn its lonely eyes? Other than Zoe Lofgren and Nancy Pelosi?
At this hour, at this time, the Democratic Party must compel its best and brightest to serve. The president must have the best services of the man behind this comment:
On Friday, Kerry knocked voters as clueless for not paying close enough attention to national issues and being too easily swayed by catchy slogans.
“We have an electorate that doesn’t always pay that much attention to what’s going on so people are influenced by a simple slogan rather than the facts or the truth or what’s happening,” Kerry said.
At first blush it looks like Kerry is calling Americans stupid, inattentive, and suggesting that we have the attention spans of gnats. But hold on — the shrewd senator may have a point. He says it’s the simple slogan that catches our ears.
Ahem.
Ahem.
Even the weak tea “Coffee Party” agrees with Sen. Kerry.
“You can’t stop…a MOVEMENT.” No, no, I suppose you can’t.
Anyway. “Bush lied, people died“…”No blood for oil“…
AHEM.
John Kerry has his finger on the pulse of America, or at least some of it. We know he’s a deep thinker on issues like education and government spending. Mr. President, hire him now!
I’m getting a thrill up my leg just thinking about it.
UPDATE: Veep Joe Biden just applied for the message man gig.
At a fundraiser in Manchester, NH, today, Vice President Biden urged Democrats to “remind our base constituency to stop whining and get out there and look at the alternatives…”
Nice. What’s next for the Democrats, a new motto? “The beatings will continue until morale improves!”
Lurch, the gift that keeps on giving! heh heh
Exactly right, Lurch just keeps on giving.
catchy phrase? I believe the last one Americans fell for was “hope and change”.
Kerry looks like one of the trees from the Wizard of Oz. He would be much better than Beltway Bob Gibbs at getting the party line out, even if it is full of nonsense. But he would never leave being Senator, unless, that is, the kind people in Massachusetts decide that electing someone like Scott Brown wasn’t such a bad idea after all. We can only hope.
Scott brown cannot be trusted. All it takes is a bike ride with Kerry and he caves..
Actually, Beltway Bob isn’t the guy that comes to mind when I think of Kerry.
It’s Baghdad Bob.
The Chicago Sun-Times said David Plouffe is set to take David Axelrod’s place; Plouffe is no better than Axelrod. How is his book selling thus far? It was selling so badly, President Obama asked him to come back & map out the Democrat Congressional campaigns which was supposed to blame Bush & run on 2008 nostalgia; this hasn’t worked so well to date.
When will Teressa Heniz divorce John Kerry? Lurch needs to go back to the Addams Family.
I hate to think that I was in the U.S. Navy during the time frame this clown was but it is true. I was also stationed with John McCain as he played out his career at Cecil Field in Florida in the 1970s one was a true hero and even though a RINO he is far and above anything that John Kerry ever was either in his mind or reality.
John Kerry is an opportunist and traitor but you could never say that about John McCain even though he might be misguided he is an honorable and decent man as well a true hero while John Kerry is a buffoon and joke but I must add that the current Democrat party John Kerry fits right in with the other communists and insane libs while John McCain might think about retirement in the upcoming year!
Kerry should replace Biden as VP. He’s qualified.
1. Makes stupid statements.
2. Has no clue what is happening in the country.
3. Has no clue what is happening in his own head.
I can’t even buy Sam Adams beer until John Kerry follows Teddy Kennedy off into the ozone.
Whats wrong John? Why the long face?
GOP/Tea Part & Briar Patch.
Please appoint Kerry, some assembly of the above is required.
I have a thrill up my leg thinking about Thurston Howell III aka Lurch leaving his senate post. I have never voted for him or for Crazy Eddie Markey the former ice cream man.We have to put up with Kerry for another four horrible years.He calls Americans stupid,he released his college transcript which revealed he was a C/D student his grades were not even mediocre they were pathetic.I hope Barry gives him a job at the White House.
I never saw the second video before (I’m not American). What’s with the woman at 1:44 speaking Hebrew?
Another example of how these leftist feel about Americans. They think we are stupid and need handled.
How soon until we can get the aholes out of office.
Boy! The sissies are running the playground now that they have a sissy in chief, sissy running DOJ, sissy at DOE, sissy at Sec. of State, etc., etc., etc.
Watch what these sissies do when we get hit by our next terrorist attack; there’ll be a run on Depends! (pun intended).
Bring back the bunny suit!! http://alturl.com/be892
Kerry – marrying a colleague’s billionaire widow.. what a guy?
Man, ‘I wish’ I was a C student in college, too. Wait, I did a h ell of a lot better than that!!!
How is this mook still in public elected office?
This is the same man who threw his purple heart medal (which he commended himself for} over the White House fence, in protest of the Viet Nam war. He later admitted that it wasn’t his real medal, just a “BIG JOHN” publicity stunt.He also testified before congress about his fellow veterans stating they torture Viet Nam civilians. No wonder the Swift Boaters exposed his lying ass.
two term shadow president john fitzgerald kerry-kennedy-lenin.
Despite his towering intellect, his grand gift of gab, his iron-trap of a brain, his awesome grasp of the obvious, even Lurch can’t save the Incredible Shrinking President.
“No wonder the Swift Boaters exposed his lying ass.”
As a vet myself from that era…I and many of my Marine buds wonder why….that’s all he got.
Look at what this traitorous, lying, cheating terrorist dirt bag has gained by being such an abominable POS!
Millions, a boat of his own….and living the high life?
He’s a very, very lucky POS IMHO.
Forgotten Man: you seriously won’t drink Sam Adams because its brewed in Massachusetts? Just because John Kerry happens to be from there and represents it in the U.S. Senate?
What if it turns out Scott Brown and Charlie Baker, Bill Weld, et al., like Sam Adams? (I know for a fact Weld does.)
Are you one of those people who roots against the Pats and the BoSawx because their from New England? You know, one of those people who give me the stink eye when I wear a Pats or Sawx cap, assuming I’m a nutty northeast librul– even though I am well to the right?
The culture wars really are getting ridiculous. It’s funny how the personal really is political to those who, in saner times, would rightly denounce such a notion as the leftwing (and Maoist) garbage that it is.
Ah well. Tommorow morning I’ll put on my Red Sox-themed spandex and go for a really long bike ride. Some psychotic redneck might throw a beer bottle at me– though not a Samuel Adams, of course– having mistaken me for an uppity northeastern librul on a fancy carborn-fibre road bike. And so it goes.
I won’t drink Sam Adams after reading an interview of the owner, who had just returned from buying hops in Europe. While acknowledging that domestic hops were available, he said that just as with wine, to get the best you needed to go to Europe.
So screw Sam Adams beer is my motto.
And I stress that I do not object to European hops, or to European beer. I despite people who are smug about them, though.
