Thanks to Noisy Democrat, who brought this to my attention, I find I’m not the first to have blogged about John Kerry’s superpowers! The Rude Pundit extolled them just before the 2004 election, far more concretely and pungently than I, in a post that has me cheering and wishing I’d known about it in those tense days so I could have shown it to everyone I know.
Oh. My. GAWD.
I want to frame that.
“Here’s the deal - what’s been missing from the entire Kerry campaign is just how tough a motherfucker John Kerry really, actually is, and it’s got jackshit to do with hunting geese and killing the Vietcong. Kerry is a superhero, the kind of valiant son of a bitch who doesn’t give a rat’s ass about his own life in order to make the lives of others better.”
Yes, I cried.

Yep, my feelings exactly. If only more people had seen this when it was published…but in any case, it’s still true!

Thanks to both of your for posting this link. . yeah, THAT’s where his real toughness lies. I really really want people to SEE this about him.

Totally agree with you, mbk. Hey, it’s like they say on the T: “if you see something, say something”: we have to keep telling people what we see when we see JK if we’re ever going to break through the obfuscation and lies that have clouded so many people’s vision.
[By the way, of course I’m actually disturbed by the whole philosophy of that T announcement, but if I can use it to say something I do believe in…
