More politics: Kerry on Letterman

[pegkerr]

Apparently, John Kerry appeared on the Letterman Show last night. Too bad, I didn't get to see it. I like his list of Top Ten Bush Tax Proposals:

10. No estate tax for families with at least two U.S. presidents.

9. W-2 Form is now Dubya-2 Form.

8. Under the simplified tax code, your refund check goes directly to Halliburton.

7. The reduced earned income tax credit is so unfair, it just makes me want to tear out my lustrous, finely groomed hair.

6. Attorney General (John) Ashcroft gets to write off the entire U.S. Constitution.

5. Texas Rangers can take a business loss for trading Sammy Sosa.

4. Eliminate all income taxes; just ask Teresa (Heinz Kerry) to cover the whole damn thing.

3. Cheney can claim Bush as a dependent.

2. Hundred-dollar penalty if you pronounce it "nuclear" instead of "nucular."

1. George W. Bush gets a deduction for mortgaging our entire future.

That's fantastic! Did Kerry do that, or was it a Letterman thing while Kerry was there?

I get the impression from the news report that Kerry read them, but I'm not clear on whether he wrote them or Letterman's writers wrote them.

But either way, they're pretty funny.

lol, that's hilarious. Too bad I missed it.

Thanks. I hope this may address the difficulties of people who don't like to vote for somebody unless he's cute, or cuddly, or seems "just like them," or has no dignity, or whatever shape the idiocy is taking these days. We can't afford that idiocy.

That was smart and gloriously snarky.

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to pay that $100 penalty. It is an artifact of being raised there.

The first time I met with a group of nuclear plant engineers, they all laughed, pointed, and said "Texan!"

I saw Kerry on Dave last night: not impressed. Kerry just isn't personable at all, he comes off as really fake.
