I love it when a politician....

[Dr Mordrid]

sticks his foot in his mouth all the way up to his neck and it comes back to haunt him;

Figures that eventually one of those east coast liberal politicians would show their true opinion of "flyover" country

"flyover country" = term used by liberals to define that vast expanse of non-liberal states between New York and LA.

I see the republican propaganda machine is already warming up for the next election.
He was obviously talking about the fund raising a politician has to do.

Uhhuh...yeah...right

Maybe your right.
Maybe he just doesn't like those two particular towns.
After all, if Matt Drudge says it, it must be true.
Clearly it's from a 1996 interview for the Boston Globe where he complained about the "Rubber Chicken" circuit that polititians of both parties have to go through to raise funds.

PS I defy you to find a single person in the world who has ever been to Austin and didn't like it (other than the heat).
That alone proves Drudge took it out of context.

I highly doubt that Kerry would be elected anyway. He is such a caricature of the M****ole kneejerk liberal, it's hard to believe sensible people elsewhere would vote for him. Look what happened to Dukakis..

[Gurm]

cjolley,

The problem is that you are forgetting that ALL politicians are lying scumbags. It's just the way things are.

Don't even get me started on the Kennedy family.

So he hates traveling to certain areas to ask for money. No big deal.

[Gurm]

Hehe. Kooldino, the issue is that he hates traveling to those areas, yet he wants their money and support. Sort of a catch-22.

What about:

He hates to travel to those places asking for money - but he needs to do it?

Doesn't that make a plausible explanation?

[KvHagedorn]

The assumption of some was: He hates Middle America with its farms and conservative values. There are no minorities to swindle and no leftist factory workers to pander to. They are mainly WASPs and he's Irish so he hates them anyhow.. and it's a boring place for a city boy from Boston.

BTW, Mr. kneejerk liberal Kerry, I'm sure Iowans don't care any more for listening to your tired, shallow, insincere, meaningless platitudes than you care to meet with them, so why don't you just stay home?

[Gurm]

'Cuz he needs the money. Scuzzbag that he is.
