Lefty Bloggers Torpedo Kerry

John Kerry met with a bunch of lefty bloggers in Los Angeles and thought he could trust them to keep his comments off the record. Big mistake:

Failed presidential candidate John Kerry blasted President Bush on Thursday as a "criminal" who has been "looting the country."

The Massachusetts Democrat offered the incendiary comments during an off the record meeting with liberal bloggers after a speech in Los Angeles to the Pacific Council on International Policy.

According to the Web site L.A. Observed, Kerry asked the bloggers to keep his comments confidential; a request they apparently dismissed out of hand without telling him.

Blogger "Hollywood Liberal" reports that Kerry "agreed completely with someone's assessment that everything that Bush does is solely for the purpose of looting the country."

"[Kerry] basically said that Bush and his cohorts are criminals" the blogger continued. "At some other point he referred to Supreme Court Justices Alito, Scalia, and Roberts as 'Idiots.'"

Of course, the lefties reported his comments because they agree with them and want to consider Kerry an angry left soulmate. Who's the idiot now, Sen. Kerry?
