Kerry slams the "teflon president".... "never wrong...never responsible"
Kerry Critiquing Bush's Economic Record

By MARY DALRYMPLE, Associated Press Writer

snip

"The president would have us believe that his record is the result of bad luck, not bad decisions," the Democratic candidate said in remarks prepared for delivery at the Detroit Economic Club on Wednesday. "In fact, this president has created more excuses than jobs. His is the excuse presidency — never wrong, never responsible, never to blame."

Kerry was arguing that the president's response to economic challenges, including three successive tax cuts, had not turned the economy around but helped the wealthy get further ahead.


"He chose time and time again to do nothing to improve our economy or ease the burden on middle-income families. In fact, nearly every choice has made it worse," Kerry said.

No matter how bad it is.

Yellowcake? Doesn't stick.

Valerie Plame? Doesn't stick.

No WMDs? Doesn't stick.

Energy Task Force composed of old oil buddies? Doesn't stick.

Went AWOL from the Air National Guard? Doesn't stick.

Sat there reading "My Pet Goat" while 3,000 citizens died on his watch? Doesn't stick.

Ignoring terror warnings before September 11? Doesn't stick.

Ignoring Osama bin Laden after September 11? Doesn't stick.

Abu Ghraib torture scandal? Doesn't stick.

Lets his business pals play "Captain" on a submarine and sink a Japanese fishing boat with kids on it? Doesn't stick.

Abandons global warming treaty? Doesn't stick.

Destroys the environment with the cynically-named "Clean Air Initiative"? Doesn't stick.

Reverses a decade of progress with trigger-happy and batshit-crazy Kim Jong Il, increasing the likelihood of a nuclear attack? Doesn't stick.

Increases al Qaeda's recruiting ability by attacking Iraq while ignoring the real terrorists? Doesn't stick.

Getting us into a horrific quagmire in Iraq? Doesn't stick.

Shreds the First, Fourth, Fifth, Sixth, Seventh, Ninth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth, and Twenty-Sixth amendments to the Constitution (not to mention the Constitution itself), sets fire to the shreds, and then pisses on the fire? Doesn't stick.

The guy's teflon. Nothing sticks.
