Kerry cover-up

We all know about John F'n Kerry and his work with the semi-socalists in Vietnam Veterans against the War. And I have made my own personal bias known (you can seem my entry for Feb 13, 2004) about it.

But this story from the liberal arm of the peoples republic, The Village Voice, might be a bit heavy on John F'n's shoulders. This might just be the bomb that drops on him

Basically, it says he covered up, while he was chairman of the Senate Select Committee on P.O.W./ M.I.A. Affairs, the fact that there was some pretty strong evidence that North Vietnam had held POWs and their remains as bargaining chips in future diplomacy. The article, written by Sydney H. Schanberg, who is a full-on Bush basher, details a series of cover-ups by Kerry and his team that includes shredding of evidence, holding closed door meetings, and refusing to subpoena important witnesses.

Nader, Smader, The Dems are whiners this year

I must admit, I find the Democrats very interesting this year. While Dubya's being presidential and doing his thing, John F'n Kerry, Little Johnny Edwards and their posse's are running around, bashing the Prez and bashing each other and having a good time.

Some notes of interest:
Much is being made of last week's Gallop/CNN poll on who would be elected, if the election was held today. We're talking 1,006 adults, not all of whom are even likely voters! My Church had that many (almost, anyway) last Sunday! But people like Al Franken and others are cheering in the streets! Let's take a wait and see attitude, shall we? Dubya's gonna kick either one of those two into the dirt come November. He's the MAN. And boys, to be the Man, you gotta beat the Man.

Ralph is back in. And the nation collectively snores. Except Democrats, because the lefties might not vote for John F'n. That would be bad! Lefties MUST vote for John F'n.

I got to admit: I hardly remembered he ran. Ralph, get Kucinich as your running mate!

From the road - in this case, Milwaukee

Light blogging on the road, but it was interesting being a witness to the end of Duckamainia. I was simply AMAZED at how many Kucinich buttons I saw here. I did notice that the big players (John F'n, Little Johnny and the Duck) were all in Madison for the last day rather than here in MKE.

Was not happy (as a conservative) to see Little Johhny Edwards come close to John F'n - I think Edwards has the best electability of the Dems.

ah well...

in other news, Bobby Heenan, the Brain, the Weasel, or, to old timers like me, Pretty Boy Bobby Heenan, will be inducted into the WWE hall of fame the night before Wrestlemania on March 14. He's by far my favorite wrestling personality. (Hogan's a close 2nd) and I am looking forward to seeing him again.

From Terror, Inc.

Money, Inc. Was always my favorite tag team. Ted Dibiase and Irwyn R. Shyster. But they were always out front about being heels and you gotta give that to those SOBs from Al-Queda. This letter, purportedly from a terrorist, gives us a real picture of where they're at. Killing Shites at will, because I guess they're second-Class Muslims, hiding from the US. This is a guy to catch. I'm looking at you, 101st and 82nd! Stay Safe, guys and girls!

Ok, as long as it's got a warning at Democrats give Republicans Indigestion

First, an Apology
Well, ya know Mean Gene - with the Largest Pythons in the known Universe and all the strength a man can muster, sometimes the Hulkster doesn't get enough oxygen to the old brain-stem. Yesterday, I identified "Democrats give Conservatives Indigestion" as a Democrat blog. My Bad. They are conservative - it's how I identify my favorite blogs!

Senator Kerry before the Senate foreign relations committee as a young man in 1971

Human Events has brought the whole transcript onto the net here. There are some pop ups. It's a PDF

Some questions for John F'n Kerry from this simple Rasslin' Fan

1. He says he is "One member of the group"... and were it possible for all of them to sit at this table they would be here and have the same kind of testimony" Kerry implies that he is representing all Veterans.

Mr. Kerry, I was not a veteran then, but was one about 5 years later. I served with many people who were serving in 1971, and of course, I served myself. We didn't elect you to speak for us and didn't need for you to speak for us then or now. I resent that you think your ultra-Lib views were commonly held by my brave friends or by me. I hope you don't intend to speak for me in this way should by some disaster you become President.

2. "IN our opinion and from our experience, there is nothing in South Vietnam, nothing that could happen that realistically threatens the United States of America." Kerry makes a statement regarding his judgement of a situation.

The Unied states was, at this time, in the middle of the Cold War. In the 50 years prior to this statement, Russia and all the eastern block countries had fallen to communism, North Korea had fallen, Cuba had fallen and Southeast Asia was in danger of falling. There is no doubt that Communism was a danger to the United States. It is interesting to no note that South Vietnam was essentially the last nation (perhaps you might place Nicarauga in the category - Afganistan never was taken, really) to fall to communism and basically one of the last since the Early 50s, when we started our Domino Effect Policy regarding communistic expansion. Cuba is the Lone Exception here. Kerry, in my opinon, was very wrong. While Vietnam may have not been the most successful war in our history, everyone else took note and stayed home. In that mode, we actually won a victory there.

3. "We cannot fight communism all over the world, and I think we should have learned that lesson by now"

"Mr Gorbachev, Tear Down This Wall" - a much more Patriotic American said this. Mr. Kerry, do you believe the same thing about Radical Islamic Terrorism? Red Dawn's a pretty sucky movie - but I think you should think about what that Movie would look like if Islam ruled our land. Goofing around with a reporter would be death for he, anyway.

4. "An American Indian friend of mine who lives in the Indian Nation of Alacatraz..."

Mr Kerry supported terrorism back then, it seems. For those of you who don't recall what happened with the Native Americans and Alcatraz, check this pretty liberal view out. I was military in SF not long after this and no one had a positive view. Radicals - and a few true believers. But the main thing here was that this action was not legal, but Kerry recongnized it as legal. What other illegalities will Kerry understand as Illegal?

5. "if this body could call for a referendum in the country or if we could call for a vote in perhaps three weeks, I think the people of this country would back that..... Pass a resolution to call on the Supreme Court to rule of the Constitutionality of this war..."

I hope Senator Kerry knows a lot more about how our government works and how the Legislative/ Judicial and Executive branches work than he did back then.

6. "We have an obligation to offer Sanctuary to 2000 to 3000 people who ... might face political assasination"

Wow. He was sure wrong there, huh? Geeze. In Hue, back in '68, over 6000 political prisoners were executed by the Communists when it was apparent they were going to lose Hue. Here's a bibliography on it. And of course, everybody and their brother was either killed, supressed or did anything they could to escape the Joint after the Commies came in Still going on when I was in the Army. Kerry was so, so wrong

7. In page 29 on the PDF, labeled 207 at the start, Kerry tells of going to Saigon and giving operations details of the war and his perceived lack of cover to a reporter, who quite properly, refused to report the information.

904. ART. 104. AIDING THE ENEMY

(1) aids, or attempts to aid, the enemy with arms, ammunition, supplies, money, or other things; or

Is John Kerry Dating Hanoi Jane? And other news....

Yeah. We go from Howard the Duck to John F'n Kerry and his dating preferences. Ok, Maybe Kerry's not so Boring after all. Sorry I mentioned it, Doc.

1st story, which is all over the net, is John F'n's association with Vietnam Veterans against the War, and of course, their association with Hanoi Jane Fonda. NewsMax has it covered, but a few comments from Ol' AWA.

Do I think John F'n Kerry was unpatriotic back in the day? Gosh, it's a tough question. I was 16 when Hanoi Jane went to Hanoi and was in the Army less than 2 years later, so my personal opinion is colored. But to come back from war and be on the side of people who called them (and even me who never fired a shot in anger) Baby Killers is personally repugnant to me. I'd much rather have a semi-dodger like Clinton or someone who did what he had to to serve and not go like Dubya, or someone who was too young like Edwards (although, at 50, he graduated in like 72 or 73 and could have gotten a number or volunteered - Ol' AWA's number would have neen 116 if he'd been old enough in '71)) than someone who did serve and then turned his back on his brothers like John F'n. Band of Brothers isn't just the name of a mini-series on HBO, it's the law in the military.

I think everyone who thinks Kerry was patriotic and a war hero needs to check out this web page. and make sure you look at page 2. Worth a peek.

Now, on to Matt Drudge and his breaking of Kerry's own Monica-Gate. It's known that Kerry was dating around (we don't know if it was sleeping around) prior to his latest Heiress marriage to the Heinz family heiress, Teresa. I just Hope Teresa's as forgiving as H-i-l-l-a-r-y.

Ok, I don't miss the Duck as much anymore... Look at this entry from one of my favorite Blogs - Democrats give Conservatives Indigestion - they be runnin' Scared. Like all heels.

The Duck Waffles!

Like a wrestler promising to retire (I'm looking at YOU, Mick Foley! Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan - ok, clearly, I don't have enough space on the server for this line of humor), Howard Dean has withdrawn from his promise to hang it up after Wisconsin if he shuld lose. The fact that he's gonna get as squashed as Barry Horowitz going against King Kong Bundy in the lead-up to Wrestlemania III is a foregone conclusion.

So what's up with the Duck? He is like Most Doctors, says Mrs AWArulz, a Pharmacist. She says they almost always know what's best, even when they don't have a clue. I got a different idea. Because I spend a fair amount of time watching grown men in underware pretend to fight each other, my perspective is different. Like a crazed heel, The Duck only wants to get back at his hated rival. But he has to go at the most recent. He's no longer the number one contender, so the #1 contender is who he has to get.

No, I am wrong. It's more like this:

How do crazy people go through the forest?They take the psycho path.

John F'n Kerry, YOUR incredibly boring candidate for president of the United States of America. At least Johnson and Nixon, God Bless 'em, never went on record as saying the F-word. John F'n Kerry - a New Breed.

Yeah, and he has as much of a chance of winning the Title as Hardcore Holly did against Brocky a few weeks back.

AWArulz

Well, this is the week that was for the Duck and his pals. I figure that by Monday, John F'n Kerry will have it all wrapped up. And I was just havin' fun with it.

Dubya's not having much fun right now, is he? His poll numbers are down. His Intelligence panel includes John McCain, not exactly a Bush Yes-Man. (Vince wouldn't have named Verne, Dubya) It also includes Lloyd Cutler, who is one of The Godfather's Boys. I can't imagine that is a good choice for Dubya. I'm sure you know Dubya's on Meet the Press this Sunday. It's a TIVO event for me - Church and all.

And more importantly, Triple H is still Champ and GoldBerg's looking at Brock instead of Trips - and you thought Dubya played politics well!

AWArulz

Like Benoit coming on Raw to face Triple H, Little Johnny Edwards and General Adnon-El Clark face John F’n Kerry in this very ring in South Carolina, Oklahoma and many other states (too lazy to look ‘em all up!) today.

Can Little Johnny deliver the knockout while John F’n is distracted by the Valet (Dubya) or the run-in by Howard the Duck? I doubt it. He is a Clinton Wanna-be, (Don’tcha love the hand with thumb-up mannerism he has developed?) but doesn’t have the push yet.

John F’n Kerry, on the other hand, just doesn’t get it. He’s laughing at the Laffer Curve, but hasn’t been disproved yet. The Duck is all done. Kerry’s all but in and it could be a long four years if he manages to convince the USA that Dubya was a bad boy. I doubt it.

AWArulz

This is the week that John F'n Kerry can deliver a finisher. The real question for republicans and for those voting for Kerry is: When does he turn centrist and away from the liberal base?. Not that Kerry is incredibly liberal (He's no Kucinich, but then, I guess general thanks are in order for that), but he is going to have to go somewhere to get the Gore level of votes.

Speaking of The Nature Boy, I guess he's all done, unless his boy pulls one out this week. They don't even let you be a manager when you can generate any more heat than that. He only gets to come on the scene for old hall of fame shows and cauliflower alley meetings. Gore: Toast.
