Sen. John F. Kerry, a coward in hiding

Probably the last Kerry letter for a while as I suspect the coward will hide from the evil, horrible press for some time. But don't we know that if Senator Kerry did surface from his hiding spot that the first question from the liberal media would be something like, "Sen. Kerry, given how obvious the joke was, aren't the Republicans disgraceful for vilifying you?"

In my opinion, if the shortstop commits an error and your batter reaches first, you do not sacrifice the runner by getting picked-off at first or thrown out at second trying to steal. You press the advantage and try to score.

Anyway,

Editor,

This week, Sen. John F. Kerry moved from being a political coward, as when he says "I believe life begins at conception but I'm not going to impose my will on others", to being just a plain coward.

First, while he's hiding someplace this weekend, Sen. Kerry has Ms. Joan Vennochi defending him (On Kerry, Bush gets assist from Democrats, November 4, A11). What other women does the Senator need to have come to his defense?

Second, though Ms. Vennochi wrote of "timid Democrats" she failed to mention the most cowardly of all Democrats, Sen. John F. Kerry, who apologized in a written statement on his web site instead of in person. What, is the Senator not intelligent enough to answer questions from the press? Of my insinuation, where is there any evidence to the contrary? The Senator's talk of "real men" debating in public is so much garbage given his cowardice.

Finally, and just slightly less seriously, let's consider one very obvious comparison of Sen. John F. Kerry and President George W. Bush on the subject of "real men", exactly in the spirit that Sen. Kerry used the phrase. Before a World Series game in 2004 at Fenway Park, Sen. John F. Kerry bounced the first pitch 10 feet in front of home plate, sixty feet six inches obviously too long a distance for Sen. Kerry to throw a baseball. Before a World Series game in October 2001, President George W. Bush, encumbered by a bullet-proof vest, threw a BB, a pea, an absolute seed, as the first pitch at Yankee Stadium.

President Bush, a real man, is making public appearances this weekend. Sen. Kerry, not a real man, is a coward in hiding. (End of letter.)

In my opinion, the Senator's apology, though issued on his web site, was acceptable. He specifically identified the people he offended and he apologized. I do wish he had avoided using such hateful phrases to decribe Repubicans in his aplology, though. How does making reference to a "Republican hate machine" help things?

I remember Bush's pitch,too, and it was absolutely a "pea" right to home plate.
Remember how the crowd went wild?
Remember Kerry's attempts to look like a "real" man during the election- The hunting photos in Ohio were the funniest also, the staged beer drinking (brown-bottled, no less) was so amusing to watch beacuse he looked so miserable actually having to swallow the swill. But, I digress. Great commentary, ZR. Still sticking to your all-Republican hold in tomorrow's election?

The Dow was up 119 today.

The ownership society just got even more net worth. Try as the Democrats did to energize historical Democrat voting blocs with race-baiting ads and rhetoric, the targeted voting blocs are simply not buying it. Very good for them. These voting blocs are experiencing more participation in a Dow up 119 than ever before. Saving for their children's college education got a big boost today. These voting blocs are simply not motivated to turn out in large numbers to vote out the stewards of this economy.

GOP definitely holds the Senate. I think they hold the House but this is probably more wishful thinking than sound analysis. People with much more polling data than I pay attention to are saying the House is lost. There is merit to my "economy" argument; let's hope I'm zacklyright again.
