Did You Know The Word "Gullible" Isn't In The Dictionary?

Christopher Hitchens romnifies John Kerry.

So, the junior senator from Massachusetts has finally come up with a winning line. "Vote for me," says John Kerry. "I'm easily fooled." This appears to be the implication of his claim to have been "misled" by the Bush administration in the matter of WMD. And, considering the way in which Democratic Party activists generally portray the president as a fool and an ignoramus, one might as well go the whole distance and suggest a catchy line for the campaign: "Kerry. Duped by a Dope."

And yes, I know that "romnifies" isn't a word, but it should be, and maybe now it will be.

"Dipped by a Tope"

This is the same John Kerry that served in Vietnam? I just want to make sure that you're referring to the John Kerry who is a Vietnam vet, and not some other Senator John Kerry.

I love the campaign line, though! :-D

Jeez, another in the long list of embarassing Michigan pols.

Romney saying he was brainwashed,

Sen. Carl Levin, who voted more often against Reagan and for Carter than any other Senator, who defended France and the UN until the end, and is now spearheading the Senate investigation into Bush's "lies" about WMD intelligence.

Rep. John Conyers, who defended Clinton from impeachment but was part of the core of Congressmen looking for ways to impeach Bush, who was vocal in his support of reparations, but silently voting against every authorization for war against those who harbored the terrorists that attacted us.

Former Rep. David Bonior who accompanied Jim McDermott on his trip to Baghdad in support of Saddam.

Former Keating 5 Senator Don Reigle.

Jeez, Michigan's pols are almost as embarassing at it's "professional" baseball players.

"And yes, I know that 'romnifies' isn't a word, but it should be, and maybe now it will be."

Since nowadays it'll be taken as a reference to Mitt Romney, the governor of Massachusetts, I don't think this coinage is well chosen.
