Right, they flew HERE to endorse Kerry - when? When he was running behind
Dean and Gephardt in Iowa, they flew to America to meet with Kerry to tell
him to win? Kerry, who re****ters had been around for a YEAR covering his
campaign, and have found no corresponding meeting or op****tunity... I
guess
a couple Leprechauns could have trans****ted into his half of the Heinz
mansion and endorsed him, or deliverd magical parcels with well wishes
from
'foreign leaders', as this has as much proof as "foreign leaders flying
here".
Or maybe Saddam's letter given to the Red Cross did get delivered...

Dumbfounded. At some point you realize someone is a simple apologist, and
engaging them to examine their own positions no longer works...

Fancy Miller for liking his President better for drawing the disdain of
the
SOCIALIST GOVERNMENTS of Europe.
The simple fact is Kerry oversold. Nobody told him this - no foreign
leader
assuredly. He may extrapolate that his leftist agenda is more palatable in
castrated socialist Europe, and indeed it likely is. But Kerry has a
penchant, like many of the candidates on the Dem side, for simply making
**** up...

'Dennis K' is a walking joke. He is the king of unseriousness. He is odd,
in
every conceivable way.
Oh, and can you point me to your Jay Leno complaints about Al Gore's
weight?
He made fun of it numerous times. Got a link? Or are his politics too
vague
to warrant your outright disdain?

Totally different tacts on humor. Miller is neither gross nor
scatalogical,
and is the king of vernacular reference humor.
Venger
P.S. Jingoism charges are usually leveled by people with an adequacy
problem
on the wrong side of an issue.
