Kerry has finally found sumpin' useful for his mascot Max Cleland to do other than playing war hero on the stump with him. He's now a letter carrier. It seems like the cry baby Poodle sent Stumpy down to Crawford Texas to deliver a letter decrying the mean tactics of Swift Boat Veterans For Truth who have their own version about what went on in the war.
Obviously Swift Boats must be a member of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy.
Stumpy and the Poodle want Bush to condemn the two Swift Boat ads, but I don't recall Stumpy and Lurch condemning Farenheit 9/11. I don't recall Stumpy and Lurch condemning all the bullshit put out by Moveon.org.
Bush has condemned all of the 527 organizations' ads since most of them are aimed at him. Flipper has only condemned the Swift Boat ads since they are the only two aimed at him. D'ya know what this reminds me of? It reminds me of the class bully who picks on everyone and as soon as one of the students has the balls to strike back, the bully goes crying to the teacher.
"Boo hoo. Those mean old Swift Boat guys are picking on me. Make them stop. Stumpy, I want you to go deliver a letter to George and tell him he has to stop those guys from picking on me. I can dish it out but I sure as heck can't take it. I'm a pussy. That's why I'm a Dimocrat."
The rules are different for Dimocrats. Kill a girl in a car accident (Kennedy) and you become a revered member of your party. Kill a motorcyclist (Janklow) and you resign your seat.
If you are a Dimocrat president all the rules for sexual harassment change or disappear. Pointing out that there is a pubic hair on a Coke can or talking about Long Dong Silver is blatant sexual harassment, but having an airheaded intern give you a blowjob is OK, even though it would be grounds for dismissal in the armed forces or private industry. The feminists used to say if anyone in a position of authority had sexual relations with an underling even if it was consensual that constituted sexual harassment. I gues they forgot to say that it didn't apply to Dimocrats. Wait until a Republican is caught doing this. The harpie chorus of Barbara Boxer, Rosa Delaurio, Hillary Clinton, and Eleanor Smeal will be in full throated banshee mode, in four part harmony, on the Capitol steps.
Let's not forget the One Free Grope Rule created by Gloria Steinem to defend Bill Clinton for coping a feel of Kathleen Willey. She told him to stop and he did so that's OK. What do you want to bet that One Free Grope doesn't apply to Republicans. We already have proof! Look at how the liberals were all over Ah-nold for alleged groping.
This must be the different version of reality that I hear Dimocrats mention.
Here's another example. The Dimocrats' claim that the RNC is running Swift Votes is based on a lawyer, Benjamin Ginsberg, who works for the Bush campaign giving advice to Swift Boats. To avoid the appearance of impropriety, Ginsberg just resigned from the Bush campaign. On the other hand, a lawyer named Joe Sandler works for both Moveon.org and the Kerry campaign, but that's all right. He's a Dimocrat and the rules are different for Dimocrats.
Likewise, some members of Kerry's campaign came from Moveon.org and some former members of Kerry's campaign now work for Moveon.org. Double standard? Naw. No standards. These are Dimocrats. The rules are different for them. Plus the media is on their side so the media holds them to different standards. Standards are only for Republicans.
Having a draft dodger run for president is OK as long as he is a Dimocrat. Someone who served in the National Guard is not OK if he is a Republican. The media gave Quayle grief for serving in the National Guard.
Let's not forget, Bush has said absolutely nothing about Flipper's military service other than to say it was honorable. The Poodle, on the other hand, who defended Bill Clinton for being a draft dodger, has gone after Bush about his National Guard service many times. This is on the Kerry campaign's web site. Try to find sumpin' comparable on the Bush campaign's web site.
It's the Dimocrats who have spent over $60 million on a smear campaign with their 527 organizations, partially funded to the tune of $15 million by a foreigner, billionaire George Soros. Meanwhile we have Swift Boat Veterans with their paltry $500,000 and Kerry and Dimocrats are crying unfair. Do we want this pussy and his party running the country?
By the way, Stumpy failed his duty as a letter carrier. The Secret Service wouldn't accept the letter. It probably had postage due.
I tried the "one grope" rule in college--once.
It did not go well. I tried to explain that the President's supporters said it was okay...
Posted by: addison on August 25, 2004 10:53 PM"Stumpy and The Poodle"; didn't they do that song "I Only Wanna Lie to You"? :-) One-hit wonders (one wonders when The Poodle is really gonna hit bottom). Or wuzzat "Hitlary & The Blowjob" that did it? Maybe it was a cover(-up) version...

Harpies fly with wings...those four use brooms.
Don't you wish someone would actualy say that on TV?
You're a pussy, that's why you are a democrat!
Boy'd they get my vote!

I called the media. . . . I said, 'If I take some crippled veterans down to the White House and we chain ourselves to the gates, will we get coverage?' 'Oh, yes, we will cover that.' "
--John Kerry, testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, April 22, 1971
"Kerry is sending to Crawford former Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia, a frequent companion of Kerry's on the campaign trail and a fellow Vietnam War veteran who lost three limbs during the war. Cleland . . . will try to deliver a letter protesting the [Swift Boat Veterans for Truth] ads to [President] Bush at his heavily guarded ranch, Kerry aides said."
--Reuters Aug. 25, 2004
Lets not forget this VVAW guy Scott Camil, who was known as "Scott the Assassin" and wanted to murder US Senator's to try and stop the war. He works for the Kerry campaign in Florida and Kerry has not only not disavowed him but embraced him. There are many questions about when Kerry quit that organization as well.

And Denny, I haven't met you (yet) but I feel like I know you. You are a great American my friend. Thanks for the "help" on the town forum. Although the "stumpy" thing didn't go over well. :-)
Of course they don't have problem with things like Bushitler, liar, coward, mad dog or any number of other epithets when referring variously to President Bush, VP Cheney and anyone else that might be right.

Posted by: Ironbear on August 26, 2004 07:44 AMIt is just pitiful. Max does not get it! Max Cleland is a Hero and was a good Georgian. He served the people of Georgia well as a state level politician. Bit it is pitiful what has happened to this great Georgian.
Something happened when he was elected to the Senate – was it his burning desire for Power or was it his stupidity. All I know is that I and several others I know did not vote him out of the Senate because he was evil or unpatriotic or anything negative that was a personal attack. The plain truth is we elected him to the Senate and he became the third Senator from South Dakota. He became the hatchet boy got Tom Daschle. He forgot we in Georgia elected him. He supported items that were not in the best interest of his state and the people of his state. It is pitiful for he is a good man but his loyalties are laid at the wrong door. Oh how pitiful this man is no longer his own man! He has sold himself to a cause that can not win. The result is more and more folks are going to say “Poor ole pitiful Max”!
Now he is the pitiful messenger of John Kerry. Problem is he tried to deliver a written message on behalf of Kerry and some of his friends. But he would not carry back a message from the “other side”. I always thought that a messenger carried messages both ways. Again – MAX JUST DOES NOT GET IT! Oh how pitiful!
Typical Dimocrit wasting thousands delivering one letter, when I could have did it for 37 cents. And it would have been delivered to the intended sender. I wouldnt piss off the postal workers by delivering mail your self, we khow what they are capable of doing.

1. Pull grenade pin.
2. Throw grenade.
How stupid do you have to be to be to fuck up step #2? Max Cleland stupid.
Posted by: Tim on August 26, 2004 12:56 PMMan, Hoystory has this:
So, one would guess Cleland's drawing a paycheck from the Kerry campaign.
Wrong. He's drawing a paycheck from you.
Cleland is currently serving as one of President Bush's appointees to the Export-Import Bank. A cushy political patronage job that pays $136,000 annually.
Wait until the New York Times gets ahold of this. It now appears that the entire Democratic Party is just a puppet of the Bush campaign.
Excellent post Denny. Does Stumpy float? We could poke a "send help" message up his bung and set him adrift for France, but alas, his head is heavier than his body and he'd probably drown and he'd fail again. At least he spent our tax money here for a change.
Posted by: Jack on August 26, 2004 03:17 PMSo his name is MAT Cleland
Posted by: Greg DiCroce on August 26, 2004 05:25 PMTim,
The story is not that he was trying to throw a grenade. Remember, he has no Purple Heart, as the incident was a non-combat one.
There was an attempt to offer him a Purple Heart and he had the virtue and respect for the award to reject it, noting that it had nothing to do with combat.
If I recall, it happened when a helicopter was taking off and Cleland saw a grenade fall from the craft and he went over to--and this is where he and I do not see eye to eye--get the grenade. He picked it up...and it exploded, taking both his legs and half his arm.
I would never go as far as calling the wounds self-inflicted. They fall under the category of extreme, extreme, vast stupidity.
Posted by: addison on August 26, 2004 08:39 PMI stand corrected, thank you addison. Man, Cleland's stupider than I thought by an order of magnitude.
Posted by: Tim on August 27, 2004 01:29 AMDo you think ol' Max might adopt the Beamer attitude: "Let's roll!"
Naaahhhh.
Posted by: BlogDog on August 27, 2004 11:21 AMYou guys are way ahead of me. I can't be bothered with picking on the messenger, because the message has me flummoxed.
"I wanna be president, 'cuz I'm better than the guy who's president right now. However, I lack the intelligence and/or facts to address that 3rd party saying mean things about me. SO! I will ask someone more competent than I to shush that 3rd party up. Err . Mr. President? Would you fight my battles for me?"
What's he gonna do if he gets the job? Run to Bush everytime he has a problem?
