"Oh, f-- them,Quote me on that." Bob Kerrey on Swifties

[wndycty]

Kerrey-ing no illusions

New School president Bob Kerrey - a former Democratic senator from Nebraska and a Medal of Honor recipient in Vietnam - had choice words for the Swifties accusing Sen. John Kerry of volunteering for Vietnam combat duty to pad his political résumé.

"Oh, f-- them," he told the Daily News' James Gordon Meek. "Quote me on that. The idea that you'd volunteer for because you're thinking about a political career. ... That's what you think about doing if you want a posthumous political career."

Meanwhile, Creative Coalition co-president and "Dr. Vegas" star Joe Pantoliano wonders if FDR would fare better than Kerry if he were alive today.

"You'd have wheelchair veterans for truth coming out of the woodwork screaming, 'He's not really a cripple!'" the former "Sopranos" star told us at the coalition's party for former First Son Ron Reagan's collection of essays, "If You Had Five Minutes with the President."

1. Good For Kerrey!!!

Fuck 'em - my words exactly!

[cthrumatrix]

21. that should be our attitude with the media as well

[NewYorkerfromMass]

2. The backlash has got to be building

just looking for more polls...

[michigandem2]

5. it took a couple weeks for kerry to show a slip

none of the polls have reflected the backlash but its there over 50% of the people last week believed bush was behind the ads...and people don't really care about this issue..they want to hear aobut the REAL issues..

[NewYorkerfromMass]

8. If Bush was behind it then that IS an ISSUE!

If over 50% of the people last week believed bush was behind the ads, then there will definitely be a sentiment reflected in the polls.

[quaoar]

3. Fuck em works

So does, "Eat shit and die."

[BootinUp]

4. Quote me...I love it.

[mmonk]

6. Bwahahaha!

7. Ralphie's on board! Cool!

This is the character Joe Pantoliano played on "The Sopranos".


Too bad this guy is hangin' out with the GOP this week:

[terrya]

9. LOL, reading Pantoliano

Great stuff. He's absoultely right about if FDR were alive today. I'm sure Roosevelt would have been accused of purposely contracting polio to further his political career.

[liberalnurse]

10. That is a real "John Wayne" approach.

I like it!

[unblock]

11. the fdr contrast is amazing. note that even his opponents kept the secret

the media never reported that fdr was wheelchair-bound until after he died. even fdr's opponents, many of whom absolutely hated him, kept the secret out of respect.

amazing how far we have fallen.

[GCP]

16. LOL That's a great line from Joey Pants

"You'd have wheelchair veterans for truth coming out of the woodwork screaming, 'He's not really a cripple!'" the former "Sopranos" star told us at the coalition's party for former First Son Ron Reagan's collection of essays, "If You Had Five Minutes with the President."

[BeyondGeography]

12. Here's to plain English, a language Democrats should embrace

Too bad it's Bob Kerrey 's quote, and not John Kerry's.

[cthrumatrix]

13. Cheney understanda that kind of talk.... and so do I.

screw them and the media that pumps them

[farmbo]

14. I smell a new campaign theme...

Fits nicely on a button or a yard sign too!

:bounce:

[Enraged_Ape]

15. I was wondering when the hell this vet would weigh in

Now I see he was charging up a photon torpedo.

F--- 'em!!

[cthrumatrix]

18. that's a great idea.... "f" the liars and the "chickenhawks"

[JI7]

19. he wrote an article about a week or 2 ago

which gave why he supported kerry for president. it was very good.

[NYCGirl]

[Killarney]

22. That was great! I wish Kerrey would appear on the new shows

[Neshanic]

Now run the McCain/Chimp ad. NOW.

25. God lovim'

Thank you, Bob! The cranky side of Kerrey can be really fun if you aren't the target of it, heh.

Joey Pants (that was his nickname growing up, lol) rocks, of course. That's one thing about having celebrities in your corner, they can say things that the pols can't. ;)

[seaglass]

26. My sentiments too. That brightened my day n/t

[cthrumatrix]

27. we all need to be this way
