Damn, Bob Kerrey, bareknuckled, to SBVT: Fuck them and you can quote me

[Pepperbelly]

on that.

You gotta love Bob's candor and his ability to reduce it to terms clearly understood by all. And remember his remark about Santorum --isn't that Latin for 'asshole'?

The guy takes it to the bastards. I hope there is another place in government for this guy. Candor like his is rare.

1. Thank you Kerrey!

Oh, f-- them!

[Hailtothechimp]

2. Sweet!

Fuck them indeed. How repulsive are they???? I say very.

[peegee]

3. I agree

Thank god for people like Bob Kerry.

[stevedeshazer]

4. Gotta love that

It might be a taste of what's to come after Labor Day.

5. Did he say that about Santorum?

Most excellent! :thumbsup:

[Pepperbelly]

12. He did for a fact ...

Someone here posted a link to it which, of course, I do not have but the perfection of the Santorum remark is apparent to all. A gem.

6. don't forget anger on DU over Kerrey's work, comments on 911 commission

[Pepperbelly]

7. I never play to the gallery ...

I just call them like I see them and he has done some good things along the way. Overall, I think he's less likely to whitewash than most pols. The 9/11 commission? What is it that he should have done?

one edit: I have been here a long time, almost from the beginning, between the inaugeration and 9/11 ... and you know what? There is very little that can be said here that someone won't disagree with. Price of doing business.

8. Right!

He has also been called a war criminal by some here.

I LIKE Bob Kerrey...always have, always will.

You may not agree with him, but he is always BRUTALLY honest.

[Pepperbelly]

11. I researched his "war crimes" and ...

found the evidence against him unconvincing.

Fog of war.

I don't think anyone knows what really happened at the village. The stories conflict, sometimes even with themselves. :shrug:

13. War is also ALWAYS ucking fugly. Your own cousin explained it best

as an "mutual escalation of enmity". In other words both sides witness their friends being killed and maimed and the inevitable effect is a brutality that just takes everything over like freakin' kudzu.

9. One of the best this state has produced. WAY TO GO BOB!

Gotta love that!

[Placebo]

10. 'CHENEY THEM!'

:P

14. Here's the quote - rich!

"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."
