Is everything political?

Democrat John Kerry on Sunday criticized the firing of two cargo workers who photographed flag-draped coffins of U.S. soldiers, saying such images shouldn’t be hidden from the public.
He also castigated Bush for eating Asapargus on Tuesday and for wearing brown shoes with blue pants.
“The hungry throngs of unemployed IT workers desire Asparagus every day. They long for the succulent flavors of spring but this administration has outsourced their ability to pay for high-quality, organic vegetables.”
He went on to say, “I, like many other Americans, don’t agree with the the Bush tactic of mixing brown and blue. What’s next? Will all the norms of fashion be tossed out the window just so Bush can dress comfortably? What will the starving dock-workers of Nantucket wear?”
Seriously folks: Kerry is making me sick by trying to turn every action, statement and occurrence related to this administration into something he can use for political gain. Does Kerry really think that Bush & Co. are trying to pull the wool over the eyes of us simple Americans by not letting us see flag-draped coffins? Does he not know that every major news outlet reports the deaths of American soldiers almost immediately after they happen? And just a few weeks ago, we saw the charred bodies of private citizens hanging from a bridge in Iraq. You think a few flag-draped coffins are part of a vast cover-up, Mr. Kerry?

  1. It was John Kerry’s generation that invented the slogan “the personal is political.” I’d add that not only does Kerry take every action of the Bush administration as an opportunity for advancing his campaign, he also takes it as an opportunity for self-aggrandizement (“I would do it better, and cheaper, and with fewer calories,” is a typical response.)

  2. ……think that Bush & Co. are trying to pull the wool over the eyes of us simple Americans….
    You better believe it.

    Uh, he’s running for Bush’s job – candidates usually try to let voters know how they would handle the job compared to the incumbent. And yes, Kerry will do it better.
