On Wednesday, when Zell from Hell Miller was being hateful, the Kerry-Edwards kids were on campus.

I was not impressed. and that's not because they were late, that happens. They were ill-prepared, generally. If you dared ask them things that were off-script, they were stumped. These are people who have been to the finest universities in the land: Brown, Harvard, they said. They were stumped on several occasions. And like every other Kerry repesentative I have come across in the media, they are not good at defending him. When the hell are they going to learn how to effectively respond to the flip-flop charge; specifically the "I voted for the $87 billion, before I voted against it." There actually is a very good explanation for that apparent absurdity, which I first heard John Edwards explain adequately when he first joined the ticket. Nobody else seems to think the facts surrounding this are important or comprehensible. So instead, they get frustrated and say, "this is a flip-flop" so said the blonde Kerry daughter, conveniently taking her flip-flop shoe and waving it at us. That was neither funny, nor effective. She continued to add that they had known their father for a long time and that they know his votes were well-thought out and well-considered, yadi yada yada. And that's suppose to mean something; somehow Kerry's daughter's integrity/judgement demands that what she says translates to my buying into the integrity of Kerry's senate vote. That's just hogwash.

One of them should have taken the opportunity to explained what that is about: the split between the $67 billion for the troops, and the $20 billion for nation building, questions about how the latter was to be financed, amendmends to the original bill that Kerry voted for, veto-threats from the President if those amendmends stood. How the amended bill, which Kerry supported was withdrawn, the original supported by Dubya was then put up for vote and so Kerry voted against it, knowing full well the bill would pass.

Am I the only person who finds shoes disgusting? I am pretty sure, i wouldn't take my shoe off and wave it at someone.

I was glad the girls brought Andre Heinz. The original posters on campus had not indicated he would be there. That was a justifiable perving experience, given the lack of craved substance displayed by all concerned. I actually took two pictures of him, one very flattering of him and the other NOT (eye-closed, mouth extended forwarding as if about to kiss something very unplesant). I might even post them.

Can the Dems expel Zell from Hell, I wonder?
