Is Kerry Shrewd?

A lot of candidates' shortcomings can be overlooked if they're the kind of person you want fighting beside you in a tight corner.

There's a place in Valhalla for guys who know how to work an angle. Clinton was shrewd. Nixon, for all his odiousness, was shrewd too. Kerry's remarkable comeback shows he certainly has political resilience, but he's going to inherit the mess that Bush is leaving behind. Here's the question: Is John Kerry shrewd?

1. Huh. A better question is IS KERRY AN INCOMPETENT MORON?

NO? WELL THEN LET'S GET HIM ELECTED SO WE CAN HAVE A *REAL* PRESIDENT.

2. He is definitely shrewd. Millions of people with opposing views spend

days heatedly arguing that Kerry is in THEIR corner, each side backing up their assertion with the same ornate sentence cluster.

Since it's all about look and feel and smoke and mirrors, whether he is in your corner or not doesn't matter.

What matters is that you believe he is, and smile up at him as he gives the order to your executioner.

That's shrewd.

6. Millions with opposing viewpoints support him - that's bad?

And we are all lambs being led to the slaughter? Nice to know how much respect you have for those who disagree with you.

By the way, do you believe in anything other than the idea that John Kerry should not be elected President? What?

7. Blah, blah, blah.....

Hey, you forgot to work in the word "sheeple" into your elitist tantrum.

I gotta ornate sentence cluster teacup for you to cry into. Keep it for use on future posts.
