U.S. Sen. John Kerry must have been channeling his inner Letterman yesterday.
The Bay State senator was telling a group of business and civic leaders in town at his invitation about the “bizarre’’ tale of how South Carolina Gov. Mark Sanford had “disappeared for four days’’ and claimed to be hiking along the Appalachian Trail, but no one was really certain of his whereabouts.
“Too bad,’’ Kerry said, “if a governor had to go missing it couldn’t have been the governor of Alaska. You know, Sarah Palin.’’
The Democratic-centric crowd laughed.
There’s no hate like liberal hate, is there? What a knee-slapper! And yet, he gets away with it. If a Republican had said this exact same thing about a Democrat governor, you can bet it would be all over the evening news and liberal bloggers would be outraged by it. Yet John Kerry — a former presidential candidate for the Democrat Party — says it, and it’s no big deal.
Update: Palin strikes back:
“He looked quite frustrated and he looked so sad,” she said. “I just wanted to reach out to the TV and say ‘John Kerry, why the long face?’,” she concluded.
And, proving once again that liberals can say anything they want and not get called on it, the Politico has the same story. Check out the comments over there by the resident libs. It’ll churn your stomach and make your blood boil.
