Congressional candidate Bruce Braley must be "crazy" too, as he also didn't like what John Kerry said. He's pulled the welcome mat from under Kerry's feet:
A Democratic Congressional candidate from Iowa is canceling a campaign event later this week with Senator John Kerry.
Bruce Braley says Kerry's recent comments about the Iraq war were inappropriate.Braley is running against Republican Mike Whalen in Iowa's First District congressional race. It's a contest considered to be one of the most competitive House races in the country.
Braley's decision to distance himself from Kerry came as a furor grew from comments Kerry made about the Iraq War during a campaign stop in California on Monday.
Via Hot Air and Town Hall, Kerry's lying doggo tomorrow, with all campaign functions canceled. (Confirmed.)
UPDATE:
There's some interesting reading in the comment section of the John Kerry's blog if you'd care to peruse.
UPDATE II:
Liberal Larry makes it "crystal clear":
Thrice wounded on the battlefields of Vietnam, Sen. John Kerry would never dream of insulting the intelligence of our babykilling, genital-shocking, cattle razing, women-and-children-terrorizing troops. If they had any brains, they’d know that.Posted by floridacracker at October 31, 2006 10:45 PM
The most accurate assessment I've seen so far was by John Podhoretz on yesterday's The Corner:
"This is a worthy reminder of Kerry's fatal flaw as a politician — not his ideology, really, but his lack of what Daniel Goleman calls "emotional intelligence." He has no sense of what he sounds like to other people or how his words might grate, especially when he's trying to be funny or clever — and as a result, he just can't keep himself from saying self-destructive things."[10:30am]
Unfortunately, I know many people with low emotional intelligence, and almost all of them, like Kerry, are second or third generation members of the lucky sperm club...
especially when he's trying to be funny or clever —
That is what I think John Kerry has been trying to be for all of his life...no matter how har he tried,
it still sounded better when Nicholson coined the use of 'crystal'.
I don't know what Karl Rove pays Kerry but its not enough. Liberal Larry is a hoot too!
Gotta agree with ya Carl, he is what he is, 'Lurch'.
