He looks like he is having so much fun. No little people in his way or anything, with clear slopes all the way to the $8 million mansion.
Go here and donate to Bush/Cheney 2004, and help give John Kerry four years of vacation time.

Was this pic taken before or after he cursed out his secret service escort for getting in his way>?
Dodd
Now, now, John. That particular estate is only worth US$4.9 million. It was the Italian villa he sold to George Clooney that was worth 8 million.

With regards to being rich, I think we can call it a draw with both candidates. At least John Kerry’s worked a day in his life. :)
HH
Yes, because being president is not a job…
Kerry took a cheap shot at Bush for having the audacity to attend a rodeo.

What day did Kerry work, Oliver? And why did he decide to limit himself to just one day?

This conversation is a bit ridiculous. Make that very ridiculous.

ha ha ha, are you f**king joking? Wow, you are insipid.
Resident Bush sits on his ass as the Vacationingest President in History and you decide to bring up vacations!
Oh and the “rich” thing. Ha ha ha…Bush worked…at unloading his stock right before Harken collapsed, at screwing up the Rangers head office (anyone want a loser named Sosa?), at being a drunk driver…okay he was good at something.
Previously I didn’t think blogs needed editors, but now that I’ve seen Buffoon-juice, I’m waffling!
Joke Cole is a kicker!

Anyone want to venture a guess on what plants burnplant is burning?

Like Bush would ski amongst the little people? When have you seen him on a public golf course with john q. golfers or waiting in a lift line?
As for Kerry working, he worked long and hard as the DA in Boston for years. We know a few who worked for him back then and they were very impressed.

“As for Kerry working, he worked long and hard as the DA in Boston for years.”
Even then, suckling at the public teat. I guess he had to work in the DA’s office because he couldn’t make in private practice?

Last I heard, Oliver, Bush got elected into office after dealing with the liberal media machine while Florida re-counted votes trying to get Algore to win. Then after Billy Bob Clinton spent 8 years getting B.J.’s, Bush took office just in time for 911. Let me see, sounds like Bush has been busy.

John-
It pains me to say that with this post, you’ve finally jumped the shark.
You know as well as I do that the only time President Bush hobnobs with the “little people” is when there’s a photo-op involved. You also know the Secret Service isn’t going to allow large, unvetted crowds around anyone they’re charged with protecting.
You want to disagree with Kerry, fine. You want to support Bush/Cheney in 2004, that’s fine, too. You want to take cheap, stupid shots… hey, it’s your bandwidth. But I’ve been reading this blog long enough to remember when it was much better than this.
I read conservative blogs like Tacitus, Drezner, and Stinson because they make me think and challenge dearly-held pre-conceived notions. You used to fall into that category, John.
What the hell happened?

I tell you, it’s hard work bouncing from 1 millionaire wife to another…

Actually, with his attandance record in the senate, I might suggest he has been on vacation for a while.
And Oliver, Bush made his money. Kerry married into his. Twice!

JKC,
You know nothing of what you prattle on about. I have read dozens of writings about President Bush visiting wounded soldiers with no cameras around. He connects with those that you disparagingly call “little people” exactly because he is a genuine human being who reads and understands people. Quibble with his handlers and handling if you must, but more research is needed on your part if you think the politician (as packaged) and the man are inseparably one and the same.
Based on what you write, can I assume you believe that the Thanksgiving trip was more photo op than troop morale booster? You’re a nitwit if you seriously believe the former.

Talk Left Like An Idiot says:
“Like Bush would ski amongst the little people? When have you seen him on a public golf course with john q. golfers or waiting in a lift line?”
Do you really think there are “little people” skiing with Kerry on those very priveleged and exclusive slopes? Probably the closest to a “little people” in terms of income would be the secret service folks charged with protecting him, and I really doubt that the President would ever call one of the Secret Service agents charged with protecting him a “son-of-a-bitch” as did the favorite of Talk Left Like An Idiot does.

JKC-
All this wassupposed to be was a link to Bush/Cheneydonations. I didn’t meananything else by it. HowhaveI jumped the shark?

If it’s athe kind bud Matthew he’s wasting it, because it is neither helping his itelligence nor his imagination. And it for damn sure hasn’t helped his grammar or syntax. He seems to be your stereotypical semi-educated kneepad wearing left-wing halfwit. Damn that made me feel as elegant and powerful as Lord Douchebag of Ketchum, ID. I gotta do that more often.

“And Oliver, Bush made his money. Kerry married into his. Twice!”
Which suggests that if Kerry is looking for a running mate with similar skills–to lessen the transitional impact should something unfortunate happen to him–he need look no further than Anna Nicole Smith.

“And it for damn sure hasn’t helped his grammar or syntax. He seems to be your stereotypical semi-educated…”
It’s true, Harry, I may not be the most book-learned person you meet. But your mocking of me would seem at odds with your mocking of Kerry as elite snob.
I’ve worked manual labor in manufacturing since I was 15 – but I can still tell black from white and up from down, something which seems to escape Bush cheerleaders (go Yale!).
So tell me, do you also mock the President and his dad because of their syntax and grammar problems, or just blue collar Americans such as myself?
And for the record, your first sentence is more than a little clunky itself.
TM Lutas
Well, I’m guessing we can all figure out the Secret Service vote this election. The poor guys had to keep their mouths shut and deal with the Clinton’s domestic BS. I can just imagine how hellish it will be dealing with President Kerry when he’s tired and stressed.
No thanks!

John,
Sorry, but I’ve already contributed to Bush/Cheney: that BLOODY DAMNED DEBT! And I and everyone else in the less-than $200,000/year crowd will continue to contribute until we die.

Wow,however can I respond to those witticisms?
Harry
Hmmm. Sorry to hear that you didn’t take full advantage of that free government education burntplant. All I’m saying is that if you are going to be a jerk on a webpost at least do it with some flair. So take it easy on the weed and bone up on the books. It’s never too late for schoolin’.
Oh, and no, I have Neither mocked Bush 43 nor Bush 41 for poor syntax or grammar. But then neither of them have made asses of themselves on a post at “Ballon Juice”. But if and when they do rest assured I will respond accordingly.
And, uh, I cropped tobacco for $11.00 a day in south Georgia when I was thirteen years old, so don’t try to guilt-trip me with any backbreaking hard-life sad shit. Been there done it.
