Audacity of Truth
Whiner-in-Chief:
"[W]hether the grumbling is about Republicans on Fox or bloggers in pajamas, there's a word for what the president and his aides are doing. That word is "whining." And nothing [...] does more damage to Obama's credibility or authority than the sense that a popular president is becoming the whiner-in-chief."

Kerry comes in last place in political likability poll
Via Reuters:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democratic Sen. John Kerry, mulling a second bid for the U.S. presidency, finished dead last in a poll released on Monday on the likability of 20 top American political figures.
Among those placing ahead of Kerry were about a dozen potential 2008 White House rivals, including Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York and Republican Sen. John McCain of Arizona.
“This is bad bad news for Kerry,” said Peter Brown, assistant director of the Quinnipiac University Polling Institute in Hamden, Connecticut, which conducted the survey.
“Americans know who he is, and have pretty much decided they don’t like him,” said Brown. He noted the poll found that 95 percent of respondents said they had heard enough about Kerry, who lost the 2004 White House race to President Bush, to rate the Massachusetts Democrat.
[...]
During the congressional campaign, Kerry sought to help fellow Democrats but drew bipartisan fire for “a botched joke” about Bush and the Iraq war.
Yet even before Kerry’s attempt at humor, he did not fare well in similar Quinnipiac polls this year.
Not exactly surprising, eh?
The President came in 15th place (out of 20) right behind Al Gore (wha??). Former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani came in first place in the poll.

John who?
Seriously when he let slip his inner elistist radical lefty, he also let slip any hope of being President.
John Kerry has as much a chance of becoming president as Ted Kennedy. Slim to none, and slim just jumped out the window.
I wish I could have voted.
But jeez, did they let anyone in Massachusetts vote? I’d be interested in seeing what they think of him in such a context. If he’d score as low there, what have they been running against him?
“Former NYC Mayor Rudolph Giuliani came in first place in the poll.”
Giuliani for President!!!
Poor little flicka
, I feel so sorry for him.
I think Kerry is “Unfit for Command”, but if he wrote a book about how to wed a quirky widow of a wealthy heir, I might read it; but then again it could be fiction like “Christmas in Cambodia 1968″.
Marshall, as far as the good citizens of the People’s Republic of Massachusetts are concerned, the GOP could nominate Jesus Christ for elective office, and he’d still lose to the Democrat.
But it might at least be close if the Democrats nominated Charles Manson.
- If they ran a popularity contest for Kerry against himself, he would lose.
- Rudy is the 800 pound gorilla in the presidential room. It’s funny to watch the expression on the other candidates faces when they are asked about him. They’re all scared to death of his popularity, and pray they don’t have to face him in the primaries, or the actual election, especially the Dem candidates like Hillery. I’m loving it. He’s dah man!!!!!

Anyone notice how Hitlery is mentioned in the 2nd paragraph, but it isn’t until the 2nd page 2nd to the last paragraph that we find out she came in 9th.
Also outside of talking about where his place is in the list, the article doesn’t even talk about Barak O’sama. 
Nice artcle Al Reuters, let’s hold onto that little light of hope that her Majesty can become the 1st women President of the US.

Kerry seems to be the only person unaware of what a dork he is. Or is it doofus?
Rumor has it that Teresa was polled and even she voted against him.
