Parade of Fools

Let's look at a couple of items from yesterday's news:

1. John Kerry is critical of Dick Cheney because Cheney got a flu shot. Where do I start? Let's just remove from the initial discussion the fact that Cheney is the Vice President of the United States. Cheney is 63 years old and a heart patient with a history of several heart attacks. That information alone would qualify him as a member of the high risk group that should get a flu shot, which on it's own makes Kerry's complaint ridiculous.

Now when you add back in the fact that Cheney is second in line to the presidency, wouldn't it be better for our leaders to be able to continue to function rather than be bedridden with a life-threatening flu?

By the way, Bill Clinton got a flu shot. Will Kerry criticize Clinton when he gets up off his sick-bed and campaigns for Kerry next week? Not likely.

2. Theresa Heinz Kerry doubts that Laura Bush has ever held a real job. This lady is a walking case of foot-in-mouth disease. Everyone, with the apparent exception of Kerry, knows that Laura Bush was a teacher and librarian, not to mention the mother of two and the First Lady of both Texas and the USA. I think we can find a job in there somewhere.

THK has now put additional doubts in folks minds regarding her fitness to be First Lady. Granted, we don't vote for First Lady, but I'm sure some folks will vote against her husband because they don't want to listen to this harpy for the next four or eight years.
