Quote of the day
Michael Bowen on Kerry’s unnatural looking handling of guns:
Ronald Reagan’s daughter Patti once told a story from her childhood about watching, with her father, a movie starring Doris Day and Rock Hudson. When they kissed in the final scene, it just didn’t seem right to her. Awkward, somehow unnatural. She asked her dad about it, and he answered matter-of-factly, “You see, honey, Mr. Hudson doesn’t have much experience with kissing women. He’d really rather be kissing a man.”
Kerry’s shotgun waving, skeet shooting, and bird hunting are just a pose. His heart is really in the gun control camp, and when he appears at the range or in the field, his tin ear shows through every time. His gun-handling habits are awkward, and at times actually unsafe. If you’re all familiar with shooting, it’s like watching Rock Hudson kissing Doris Day.

Great, now I have this mental image of Reagan going, “You see, honey, Mr. Kerry doesn’t have much experience waving around shotguns. He’d really rather be kissing a man.” =P

No wonder he’s got a tin ear…he never wears hearing protection!
