Ten things unlikely to be said by John Kerry at tomorrow's Presidental debate:
- Everything's going great in Iraq.
- When Strom Thurmond ran for president, I voted for him. I'm proud of it. And if the rest of the country had followed my lead, we wouldn't have had all these problems over all these years.
- George Soros is a drug pusher.
- Donald Rumsfeld is doing a superb job.
- Most problems can be solved by transcendental meditation.
- Tax breaks for the wealthy benefit everyone.
- I'm probably not the only one here who is more outraged by the outrage than by the treatment of the prisoners at Abu Gharib.
- I forgot Poland.
- The Ten Commandments are the basis of our basic freedoms and the cornerstone of our Western legal tradition, and I oppose any governmental action to restrict, prohibit, or remove public display of the Decalogue or other religious symbols.
- Fuck you, Mr. President.
This is for boliver, who wanted to see tax breaks for the wealthy mentioned in a list. Jude Wanniski would be proud.
