48. Way to be deliberately OBTUSE.
Right before the Myrtle Beach debate, where JE was poised to make some waves. That's when JK suddenly gets the spirit?

SC is a must-win for Edwards, and finally the press was ramping up and giving him an iota of attention. So then, his former running mate just has to hop on his train and swipe some of that press by endorsing his opponent.

It was a rather disloyal slap. That's how it played. After all, Kerry PICKED the guy to be his VP. Four years ago, Edwards was the BEST fellow in America to pick up Kerry's standard if harm befell him. And now he shits on him, in the most public way possible, just before a key primary for him. When he didn't HAVE to.

No one held a gun to Kerry's head and said "Endorse, or DIE!!!" You don't see Gore hustling forward to endorse, now, do you?

It was incredibly UNKIND of Kerry. The endorsement appeared to have a deliberate, small, vengeful and meanspirited quality to it, as well.

If anyone's pushing bullshit here, it's you, not me. You're aptly named. And you don't read for context at all.

Kerry doesn't need my 'permission.' He can do what he wants. And I can have an opinion about what he does, as well, and I don't particularly care if YOU don't like it. That's the beauty of America--I don't have to care what others think, especially those who have preconceived and shopworn notions.

BTW, your examples kinda suck. They don't acknowledge the essential fact that Kerry crapped on the guy that he personally selected to be his running mate.
