Remember how our media jumped all over the internet rumor about Kerry having a girlfriend?
Edited on Sat Jul-14-07 08:10 AM by NNN0LHI
It began on Drudge. MSNBC's Imus questioned Senator Kerry about it on live TV. CNN's Aaron Brown had a several hour long specials on the subject of Kerry and his reported girlfriend. Fox news was reporting about it 24/7. They were all on the bandwagon.

A Republican Senator gets caught red handed in a kinky sex scandal that he admits happened and no one will talk about it. Not even Kieth O.

And this Kerry thing was all for a non-story of a fictitious girlfriend. No prostitutes. No diapers. No nothing. Whats up with that?

3. The Republicon Diaper Exclusion Act prevents corporate broadcast toadies

from telling the truth about republicon perverts. After all, as White House male prostitute Jeff Gannon established beyond the shadow of a doubt, republicons are 'special.'

4. To be honest, it should be pointed out that Kerry...
...was, at the time, a leading candidate for President. The Pampered Politician from Louisiana, by contrast, was little more than a minority-party Senator likely, at best, to stay that way.

I don't think absolutely everything can be ascribed to pro-conservative bias when there are other sensible reasons to explain it.

5. And Vitter was a leading candidate for Vice President. Just one heartbeat away from President
Edited on Sat Jul-14-07 08:37 AM by NNN0LHI
And they were both US Senators at the time this became an issue.

Besides that Kerry wasn't being accused of breaking any laws that he swore to uphold as Vitter has admitted to doing. Kerry was accused of having a legal extramarital affair. And that wasn't even true.

The media was happy to report the untrue dirt about the Dem Senator but not the true dirt of the Republican Senator.

So lets be honest about this.

10. And there has been absolutely nothing
about bush and his girl friend, for whom he paid for her abortion. Which was illegal at the time. How about the ex girl friend from high school. The one he beat up and it was rumored at the time she had a miscarriage. Then when she returned to Texas 30 years or so later, she file a stalking and sexual harassment civil suit against him. Some guys showed up at her home, beat the crap out of her husband and told her to drop the suit. Three or four months later she was found dead and they ruled it a suicide. Hmmmmmmm couldn't find the gun tho..... Just like the group of young boys in the company of a pimp who got to tour the white house late at night. Then when Discovery channel made a tape and was going to air the incident, they suddenly pulled it (shades of ABC) and someone leaked the message that the first bush administration threatened to have the FCC pull their TV license if they did. Golly the republican presidents were crooked way back then.

11. For the record, it has been mentioned on Keith's show briefly.
I would expect we will hear more in the future.

And Keith was never on the Kerry girlfriend story. So don't tar him with that brush.
