Can Kerry Survive the Presidential Debates? Pt II

In June I asked, Can Kerry Survive the Presidential Debates?

I’m going out on a limb here to speculate that the debates will hammer Kerry’s standing in the polls.

Even his own supporters can’t tell what he’s talking about. Everything he says contradicts something else he said in the past. His acceptance speech at his own convention resulted in no bounce for him in the polls.

So I may not even be out on that much of a limb. I’m speculating that Kerry will do so poorly in the debates, that his current low standing in the polls will look to him like the good old days.

Teresa: Now Officially Dumber than Dirt

I mean, what else are you going to call it? She’s in Arizona, and she says this:

12 News Reporter: Most of the polls are tracking that Sen John Kerry as doing a better job on the economy. My question is, why hasnt that transferred overall in the poll numbers?

Teresa: It has, of course. Of course it has.

Reporter: Hes still down.

Teresa: Hes not. Did you see the polls today? You saw Zogby and ARG

Reporter: Yes, but hes still down in Arizona.

Teresa: Oh, who cares? You know, one state is not a whole state. In the whole United States, he is even, even, and in some of them one point ahead, and in some one point behind.

And let’s face it, John Kerry married her.

Strangers On My Flight - A New Version of a Frank Sinatra Classic - With Audio

This is very funny. Click here for the audio.

Strangers on my flight,
turbans they’re packin’.
Wonderin’ if they might,
plan a hijacking.
They could pull a stunt,
before this flight is through…

Something’s on their minds.
I saw them mutter.
What that in their hands?
Looks like box cutters,
I’m gonna kick some ass,
if they make a move.

Does anyone know who this singer is?
