| Quote: | The hypocrisy of John Kerry: Mr. Smallweed goes to Washington
By John Burtis
Monday, April 24, 2006
John Kerry has been really pretty doggone busy lately, out there on the hustings in his native, or is it naïve, Beantown, dragging himself from one declamation to the next.
Formerly known as "Live Shot," he regularly stuck his hirsute and finely coiffed snoot in front of every local camera he could locate--gathered to cover the collapse of a set of bleachers in an itinerant circus, the escape of an insatiate pet constrictor, the opening of the latest E-Z pass tollbooth on the Pike, a dumpster fire in the Back Bay, the mauling of an errant penguin by a tiger in the Stone Zoo, a protest over the increase of wholesale lobster prices at the dock, the lack of adequate fire extinguishers on the airport ferry, or the grave neighborhood concerns levied over the location of certain fire hydrants in Louisburg Square--to render piteously long and wearisome pronouncements on the tragedies associated with the situations being uncovered.
<snip>
This past week found Mr. Kerry in extremely fine fettle, celebrating the 35th anniversary of his great congressional Winter Soldiers fabrication and laying the groundwork for his fabulous return to Congress after the Easter, or as some wag just put it, the kindergarten break.
<snip>
Mr. Kerry remains anchored in the past, an anti-war candidate at heart, wedded to its rhetoric of hate, wearing a tattered field jacket, listening for the applause from the masses of the disaffected, hoping for the destruction of another president, for another claim of progressive victory, for one more war lost, one more raised fist.
Unlike Jimmy Stewart’s Mr. Smith, who went to Washington representing the Boy Rangers, stood for something grand and brought down the powers of evil through his own perseverance and the use of a filibuster, Mr. Kerry spoke for the highly inventive Winter Soldiers and whet his appetite for national publicity, peddled lies and the stories of totally fabricated atrocities before a befuddled Democratic Congress and heaped a level of opprobrium on millions of Vietnam vets, marking many men with the mark of Caine, which dogs them today.
<snip>
But in the end, all of his live shots, cheap shots, smears, and perjuries of the past mean just one thing–Mr. Smallweed is going to Washington, not Mr. Smith.
Without the wealth and the Winter Soldiers, his is a life writ small.
