Michael Jackson, the pop star, has died.
Too bad if an entertainer had to die it couldn’t have been the cheap-shot comedian AKA the junior Senator from Massachusetts. You know, John Kerry.

Thought you might enjoy this, from James Taranto at WSJ:
ReplyDeleteThe Boston Herald reports on the latest comic stylings of John Kerry, the haughty, French-looking Massachusetts Democrat and known forceful advocate for a child-porn criminal, who by the way served in Vietnam:
The Bay State senator was telling a group of business and civic leaders in town at his invitation about the "bizarre" tale of how South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford had "disappeared for four days" and claimed to be hiking along the Appalachian Trail, but no one was really certain of his whereabouts.
"Too bad," Kerry said, "if a governor had to go missing it couldn't have been the governor of Alaska. You know, Sarah Palin."
Of course, the Herald's report doesn't quite do justice to Kerry's mastery of timing, but you can just imagine the scene: He dramatically pauses after "the governor of Alaska," and audience members start scratching their heads. Alaska, they think. Who's the governor of Alaska?
Then Kerry delivers the payoff:
"You know, Sarah Palin."
If the ensuing laughs were less than cathartic, it only proves that liberals are humorless.
But wait. The Anchorage Daily News reports that the governor is missing: "Palin is on her way to an undisclosed 'overseas' location to visit deployed Alaska National Guard troops." Our guess is she's really going to Cambodia for a Christmas party.
You know, like John Kerry.
