Senator John Kerry has thrown the joke he told Tuesday about Governor Sarah Palin under the bus. Or in Kerryspeak, he obviously voted for the joke before he voted against it.
Just one day after Gov. Palin stood up to the liberal Senator and returned fire, he has apparently calculated that his joke went too far, not to mention that he has lousy timing.
Kerry spokeswoman Jodi Seth told WaPo’s The Sleuth:
“We stand corrected, the truth is every Democrat hopes Governor Palin is in the public eye for a long, long time, especially on the 2012 presidential ballot. Lately it’s been Vice President Cheney that everyone hopes would lose the cameras and go for a long leisurely hike on the Appalachian Trail. And good grief, if anyone thinks John Kerry is afraid of strong, smart women, they sure haven’t met his brilliant wife and two independent daughters. It sounds like getting crushed these last two election cycles cost some of these Republicans their sense of humor.”
Interesting statement. Ms. Seth admits that (1) John Kerry doesn’t always mean what he says; (2) He really thinks that Gov. Palin is a “strong, smart” woman; (3) Dick Cheney has been so effectively kicking the Democrats’ behinds on the issues that they wish he would just go away; and (4) the Senator from Taxachusetts is so arrogant that he speaks for “everyone” and their hopes.
The latest Kerry flip-flop is the second Palin victory in as many weeks over two high-profile leftists. By standing up to David Letterman’s creepy sexism, she forced him to apologize two weeks ago. Now, by giving Kerry a taste of his own medicine, she has forced him to admit that the Senator’s words have an expiration date (a characteristic he shares with President Barack Obama).

I had been wondering . . .
lukematthews Saturday, June 27th at 5:49PM EDT (link)If the junior senator from the great state of Taxachusetts had meant what he said. The story, as I read it, reported that Kerry (By the way, he fought in Vietnam) his joke, however it didn’t mention whether or not he was wearing his usual flip-flops. Apparently, he was.

To me, “consensus” seems to be the process of abandoning all beliefs, principles, values and policies. So it is something in which no one believes and to which no one objects … There are still people in my party who believe in “consensus” politics. I regard them as Quislings, as traitors … I mean it. — Margaret Thatcher
Now *that* was clever, ocleverone :-) Touche' nt

For those of you who struggle with what goes on, who see retreat and capitulation, and who feel like not just your political opponents, but those who hold dear all those things you hold as blasphemous — be cheerful. Be happy. Victory is already yours.
You must just have the courage to not get discouraged and have the will to fight on.” – Erick Erickson at RightOnline
"strong, smart women",
johnt Saturday, June 27th at 7:18PM EDT (link)the spokesflack says. Theresa, who married for money, never showed an indication of an ounce of ability,, and almost single handedly elevated the F word to a more common usage. A vulgar, ignorant women is the model the ignoramus Kerry has for digging him out of holes, and just as stupid as he is.
Yeah, they hope Sarah is in the public eye for a long time, that’s why they are shaking in their boots and trying to destroy her, confidence you see.

Let's recap, Senator Kerry (D-Vietnam)...
CSUFBomb Saturday, June 27th at 8:55PM EDT (link)…you told a joke about Governor Palin. In return, she told a joke about you. The embarrasment brings back painful memories of 2004 when you were the butt of all those gigolo, flip flop, Euro-Trash jokes, leading your spokeswoman to come to your rescue by stuttering that Republicans have “l-l-l-lost their sense of humor”.
1. When will Jean learn to defend himself rather than having his women do it for him? Just because you’re collecting your Heinz allowance doesn’t mean you’re not allowed to wear big boy pants and stand up for yourself.
2. Don’t take your failed career for granted. Cling quietly to your invisible role doing nothing in the broom closet of the U.S. Senate and maybe scary Sarah won’t come and terrorize you in the dark of night.
3. Keep amusing your gardner with those compelling tales of your excellent adventures in Vietnam. He especially loves that part where you start pimping for the other side.

TNJim Saturday, June 27th at 9:04PM EDT (link)I mean, Kerry told the “joke”, so why didn’t he apologize in person for it? Might help the ole credibility there, John.
Oh, forgot. You have none. And you gain none by sending your spokeswoman out to apologize for you.
We might be more forgiving if you had made said apology in person.
Emphasis on “might”.
