John Kerry recites a limerick mocking Vitter.

Pathetic!
There once was a man named Vitter
Who vowed that he wasn’t a quitter
But with stories of women
And all of his sinnin’
He knows his career’s in the — oh, never mind...
(Via Don Surber.)

And now, for your comments.... Well, it's pretty obvious what you need to do...
There once was a man named Kerry

There once was a man named Kerry
Who found a rich girl he could marry
He drove a Swift Boat
But his men got his goat
And his Presidential hopes they did bury

SGT Ted said...

Hows that? :)

AlphaLiberal said...

Still trying to flog Kerry, eh, Ann? Didn't work for you when you were pushing the "Kerry eats alone among troops" story.

And this really isn't pathetic. It's a halfway decent joke for a rubber chicken dinner. The Horror.

There once was a man named John
A war hero much loved in Saigon
He loved global tests
But loved magic hats best
And he loved to say Jen-jis Khan.

Cabbage said...

There once was a man named Kerry,
With a tan and a head quite hairy.
He talks a lot,
but in the Senate he rots
because he's dumber than Cable-Guy Larry

vforvictory said...

This is just disgusting. Kerry is absolutely horrible and this is wonderful that you are pointing this shameless comment to us.

Of course this took place in Nantucket another elitist secular liberal area of the country where rich people live.

David Vitter is a good man and does not deserve this type of abuse from John Kerry of all people.

I thought I heard everything but this absolutely tops the icing on the cake.

I can barely see straight after reading this blasphemous comments by that secular progressive John Kerry.

David Vitter needs to be left alone. He is an honorable religious man who has received God's forgiveness.

John Kerry's comments only make himself look bad. Another evil Massachusetts liberal who supports the homosexual agenda.

You have done your readers a wonderful thing by pointing out this most evil and inhumane of things that I could ever think one person could ever do to another.

There once was a man named Kerry

He made fun of his schoolmate’s “C”
“Well,” replied good ol’ G.W.B.,

That wasn't a very good limerick, Alpha. You are incredibly humorless.

AlphaLiberal said...

sgt ted:

That's a crock of shit. His troops from the Swift Boat backed him up. The ones who were lobbing bombs didn't serve with him on his boat.

There you guys go, attacking any vet who is not with your cult leader Bush. You did it McCain, McClellan and Kerry. It's a Karl Rove tactic only a dupe would fall for.

And if you really want to now how I feel about your right wing lies...

seven machos, I have my own humor, but bashing Kerry with lies and smears doesn't strike me as funny.

But, wait, let guess. you think Mallard Filmore is funny?

There once was a man named Kerry
Who fancied himself a revolutionary,
He sought to be Prez
But fell on his ez
When the electorate found him too scary

Wha?

you mean besides being a lawbreaking, hypocritical, philandering liar? Aside from all that?

I think they should press charges. If the madam gets busted, why not the Johns?

Him close to be President was scary.

SGT Ted said...

lol Alpha my God its just a rhyme!

Who cares?

And that's only two of the men in his boat that backed him up. One does not have to be in the same squad to know whether or not someone is a turd.

And, yes, his Purple Hearts were chickenshit. Every combat vet I have talked to that knows the circumstances say the same thing.

vforvictory said...

This is an incredibly important story but you likely won't find it in the liberal media because it makes a defeatocrat look bad.

Fortunately, we have outlets where we can shine the horror and indignation and abolute travesty of one sickening depraved politican named John Kerry.

I will passing this story along to all of the mainstream press outlets but typically you likely won't see any of the run this nasty story.

David Vitter and his family deserve their privacy as well as our respect, not some other politican making light of a tragic family affair. You don't see the Vitters running around casting aspersions on other people's private lives or how their families manage their affairs.

This needs to be the front page of every newspaper tomorrow.

They probably had caviar and french wine at that party in Nantucket too.

Typical, unamerican hating liberal defeatocrat.

Was Carly Simon there? Doesn't she live in the Vinyard? Another liberal rich place next door to Nantucket.

The thought of it makes my skin crawl.

I am so upset now it is so shameful and hateful and deranged of John Kerry. What was he thinking. He doesn't care about our troops and he likes Europe.

Fen said...

AlphaLiberal David Vitter is a good man?!?!?

Blowback. I think you're being trolled by one of your own, posing as a conservative...

Alpha: That's a crock of shit. His troops from the Swift Boat backed him up. The ones who were lobbing bombs didn't serve with him on his boat.

Thats ignorant. The ones "lobbing bombs" served in his unit with him. Your essentially saying that members of tank battalion wouldn't know what goes on in their own unit, because they're not in the same tank...

There you guys go, attacking any vet who is not with your cult leader Bush.

No. Kerry is a confessed war criminal who falsely slandered his own men in sworn testimony before Congress. He also exaggerated wounds not received in combat to steal 2 purple hearts so he could get a ticket to the rear. And fabricated a secret CIA mission to Cambodia. He is a fraud.

And if you really want to now how I feel about your right wing lies...

What lies Alpha? Despite the constant assertions of the Left, the SwiftBoatVets have never been discredited.

There once was a man named Kerry
Who in the Senate tried to make merry
But he's down on his luck
Turns out he's a schmuck
With a wit that don't work in Metairie!

BTW, alphaliberal: relax. Try writing something funny.

Ann Althouse said...

There was a commenter who was resigned
Not to write in the form I assigned
We were all having fun
He's the humorless one
Alpha Liberal, the guy who just whined

vforvictory said...

This would be like if George Bush made fun of not finding weapons of mass destruction or something.

George Bush is a patriot though and loves our troops where John Kerry is willing to be so low that at some democratic dinner he actually puts down another senator in his hour of need. It is just sickening.

Mortimer Brezny said...

There once was a man named Kerry
Whose bitterness verged on very
He lost in '04
Because of the war
And he spat on the daughter of Cheney

garage mahal said...

Yea Alpha
This is wingnut no fact zone central. This blog is pure comedy and not to be taken seriously.

Here, you will find out:

We're winning in Iraq.
Iraq was terrific idea.
Bill Clinton and John Kerry are guilty of literally anything you want them to be.
George Bush is a great president.
And Ann Althouse is a moderate centrist with no axe to grind against liberals.

There once was a Senator John Kerry,
Torpedoed by men on a wherry,
His career run aground,
He still hung around,
Like a dry dodgy dank dingle-berry.

Doug L said...

In Vietnam he got a wound on the derriere.
It didn't much muss his Kerry hair.
A purple heart,

A ticket to get his ass outa there.

Doc Washboard said...

I think vforvictory has it right. This Kerry limerick story is conceivably the most important story of the decade, and, if you'll notice, the MSM (Magically Stinky Morons) are staying away from it in droves.

The idea that this traitor, this worthless piece of human limerick-spewing scum even ran for president makes my skin crawl.

Don't expect the Liberal Driveby Media to touch this one--just another example of the Communist infiltration of all aspects of our dhimmi society.

Justin said...

Alpha,

The election is over. You don't have to keep pretending to like Kerry. Everyone know that all of his votes weren't for him but against Bush. He's not going to run again, so there's no need to keep propping him up.

Son Of The Godfather said...

There really is one explanation
For Kerry's chronic constipation
The rice in his butt
With the band-aided cut,
And the SwiftVets again served their Nation.

Changing to a more serious note.
Doing limericks about your fellow Senator's troubles in a public forum?

The man has got no class.

Yes there's that hat-trick Cambodia,

But his policy's what would've brought woe to ya;

All power to the State

Thank goodenss he lost the vote, o yeah!

Revenant said...

That's a crock of shit. His troops from the Swift Boat backed him up. The ones who were lobbing bombs didn't serve with him on his boat.

Stephen Gardner did, and many others had served alongside him in the same unit.

Furthermore, many of the SBVT accusations had nothing to do with Kerry's behavior as a swift boat commander, centering instead on the slanders he heaped upon American troops upon returning to America -- slanders which were, "coincidentally", very similar to the official propaganda of the North Vietnamese regime whose representatives he'd met with shortly before.

SVBT ran four television ads:

The first featured men who had served with Kerry, who then gave their opinions on him. No falsehood there, as the men had, indeed, all served with Kerry and did, indeed, hold the opinions in question.

The second featured audio of Kerry's own slanderous testimony, interspersed with veterans describing how it had affected them. Again, nothing but hard facts (the audio) and honestly-held opinions (the veterans' reactions).

The third debunked Kerry's bullshit "Christmas in Cambodia" story -- a story which has been refuted by everything from the official military record to Kerry's former crew to Kerry's own diary, and which Kerry's own campaign handlers had to backpedal on.

The fourth condemned Kerry's "throwing his medals over the fence" stunt. Since Kerry himself has offered no less than three mutually contradictory stories as to whether or not this actually happened (the answers being "yes", "no", and "they weren't really my medals"), I leave it up to you to judge if the commercial was accurate. It depends on which of the three Kerry stories you think wasn't a lie, I guess.

A lib'ral purveyor of gloom
Reading Althouse's blog in his room
Loudly grumbled, 'I'll show 'em!'
And started a poem
But realized it was a whole lot harder than he thought when what little wit he possessed deserted him under pressure, so instead he wrote 'BushHitler' 50 times and then went into the kitchen to see what Mom had for dinner.

His hobbies were riding his $8,000 bike and para-sailing he liked. Hunted duck one day in a spanking new orange array.

So he missed the mark he wanted but will go down in history as the first "Swift Boat" hunted!

Your problem, hdhouse, is that the jump from "voters hate Bush" to "voters will dump" Bush is obvious... but Bush isn't up for election.

The jump from "voters hate Bush" to "voters will reject Rudy Giuliani" is far from obvious. Giuliani is a much different person from Bush, and unconnected with the Bush administration. He's neck and neck with Hillary in the polls (ahead this week, behind last week).
