More on Kerry

The troops in the photo holding up the "Stuck Hear N Irak" banner have been identified and will apparently not be getting into trouble. The Star-Tribune reported today on the unit's identity.

Members of a unit under the command of the Minnesota National Guard turn out to be the creators of an intentionally misspelled sign that takes a mocking shot at Sen. John Kerry.

Over at Sparks from the Anvil, Wordsmith From Nantucket has posted a slew of political cartoons taking aim at Kerry's "botched joke." This one is my favorite:



What a jokester that Kerry is! Be sure to check out the rest of the cartoons.

Finally, we knew it had to happen, but we just didn't know who would say it first. The It's All Just Politics Award goes to John Edwards, Kerry's running mate in 2004, reported by NBC17.com yesterday.

He also expressed sympathy toward his former running mate, John Kerry, who was criticized by the president for suggesting unsuccessful students end up stuck in Iraq.

"This is all politics," Edwards said. "What's happening is the president and the Republicans and they know they're in trouble in this election and they're trying to find anything they can to distract the voter's attention. It's not going to be successful."

Of course it's politics. Politics usually is politics. But Edwards uses the "distract the voter's attention" ploy as though the Democrats would never engage in attention distracting.

Let's just say, "Mark Foley," call both the pot and kettle black, and leave it at that.

Be sure to look at all those cartoons. And go back and look at the Irak banner again. And again. It just doesn't get old.

That banner is everywhere....except in the major papers. MSM needs to realize why their subscription rate and viewership has gone down; not all of it is due to simple availability on the internet.

WordSmith,

The MSM doesn't get it. They live in an echo chamber that keeps them separated from the hearts and minds of normal America.
