The Ego Flies on Friday
If you're unclear why Senator John Kerry (D-MA) couldn't get within 3 million votes of a vulnerable President Bush in 2004, read this from Kerry, stumping for the not going that well candidacy of fellow democrat Gov. Granholm in Michigan.
Talking about the current war in southern Lebanon, Kerry said: "If I was president, this wouldn't have happened."
Really? Kerry would have prevented Israel from pulling out of southern Lebanon in 2000? No, he wouldn't have been president then--it has to be since January, 2005. OK, I'm stumped, what else did he say, maybe there's a clue there, although usually Kerry hasn't any?
"The president has been so absent on diplomacy when it comes to issues affecting the Middle East."
Oh, so Kerry would have done such a fine job on the diplomatic front that Hezbollah wouldn't have stored 10,000 to 13,000 rockets and wouldn't have ambushed the IDF patrol and kidnapped two wounded soldiers? He would have merely talked the Jihadist fanatics out of it. Is this guy full of himself or what? But there's more. He said:
"This is about American security and Bush has failed. He has made it so much worse because of his lack of reality in going into Iraq.…We have to destroy Hezbollah."
Oh, so it wasn't a matter of diplomacy it was a matter of destroying Hezbollah and Bush hasn't been tough enough fighting against the Jihadists.
This isn't merely delusional narcissism, it seriously incoherent as well. And many Americans can sense disabling neurosis, thank the Lord.
