Another Kerry Blunder Reveals More About his Character.

On his first full day off, though, Mr. Kerry awoke determined to hit the slopes of Mount Baldy.

The image-conscious candidate and his aides prevailed upon reporters and photographers to let him have a first run down the mountain solo, except for two agents and Marvin Nicholson, his omnipresent right-hand man.

His next trip down, a reporter and a camera crew were allowed to follow along on skis just in time to see Mr. Kerry taken out by one of the Secret Service men, who had inadvertently moved into his path, sending him into the snow.

When asked about the mishap a moment later, he said sharply, “I don’t fall down,” then used an expletive to describe the agent who “knocked me over.”

Let’s count the ways this is wrong:

• Extremely mean-spirited.
• Loses his temper and lashes out at others over trivialities.
• Curses as a matter of course even when running for President and surrounded by reporters.
• Loses control easily to the extent of forgetting that cursing out an agent is bad for his campaign.

And this is within a week of his ‘unnamed foreign leaders support me’ blunder. Kerry is not Presidential material.

“Our Ancestors Didn’t Die at Gettysburg, Iwo, or Pusan to Give into [the Islamofascist’s] Pathetic Dark Age Fantasies.”

Let me break out for you one of the juiciest quotes from this interview with Victor Davis Hanson.

[The Islamofascists] do sense that they have failed and want the West they hate. It is our duty not to facilitate that hatred by appeasement or multicultural goobly-gook, but instead offer the carrot of reform and help-and the stick that lets them know in no uncertain terms our ancestors didn’t die at Gettysburg, Iwo, or Pusan to give into their pathetic Dark Age fantasies. They must accept that the next regime, rogue nation-call what you will- who has any remote connection with those who commit a 9-11 like attack on the United States will learn that their complicity is synonymous with their utter destruction.
