Colmes and Kerry

Colmes, of Fox News, had an interview with failed candidate John Kerry. Again, I know some of my good readers just don't have the time to watch or read the transcripts, so the staff here at Ogre's Politics and Views has read the transcript and prepared a translation for those who don't speak Washingtontonian. COLMES: Do you expect indictments to come down toward the White House?

KERRY (He's a Senator, you know?): Huh? What?

COLMES: Do you think there should be resignations, with or without indictments?

Junior Senator Kerry: Oh sure. Anyone associated with Bush should resign. I once resigned, before I withdrew my resignation. And there's still problems with up-armored Humvees or armor or something.

COLMES: Your speech today at Georgetown was well received. And you used the phrase "shared responsibility." How responsible are Democrats, including yourself, for giving the president the imprimatur?

Little K: We're responsible, but that doesn't mean we shouldn't blame everyone else. I mean, I accept the responsibility, but it's still Bush's fault. And we should just get out of Iraq, unconditionally surrendering to terrorism now. I mean this goes all the way back to President Nixon who started the whole war on terror you know.

COLMES: You spared no words today. You actually referred to this as one of the greatest foreign policy misadventures of all time.

SKERRY: Absolutely I believe it is. Before I believe it wasn't, of course.

COLMES: Those are pretty strong words.

SCARY K: You know I was in Vietnam, right? You know I got medals from the service I did for my country in Vietnam? And that was the wrong war at the wrong time, too, I just needed some video footage for my campaigns, so I was in Cambodia fighting the Russians before the Cold War.

COLMES: Do you still want to be president?

The S-to-the-K: Well I would already be president if those people in Ohio hadn't cheated. Or if the people in Washington and North Carolina had cheated a little better for me.

But it's not my job to be president yet. Instead we don't need to talk about races and politics, we need to talk about the little people of America and do what's right for them. After all, there's two Americas, and I support them both.

There's so many things we could be doing to lower the price of gasoline, and that's what I want to do. I want to go to other countries and let them lead America, because they're so much better than us.

And the big fight in Washington now is whether I allow any person who works to keep their own money. Tom,

COLMES: Alan

Kmeister: Whatever. Alan, that's just not right. It's unamerican to actually want to earn your own money. Heck, that's what government is here for -- to provide you what you need. Any time there's a tax cut, that's less money that I can spend and give to people I want to give it to. What sort of country is this, Bill,

COLMES: Alan

K: that people can choose their own futures without government help? Huh, Tim, what kind of country is this? Why aren't we more like the French?

1 Great translation! I read that the other day. Colmes couldn't have sugarcoated that interview much more. I think Kerry sent him the script. How about asking Do you feel your chances in the election would have improved if your wife would have shut the F--- up? Or maybe With Bush's approval ratings not exactly being stellar at the time of election, did you ever consider you were just the wrong choice for your party? THis could go on and on.

2 Did he change his clothes as many times as he changed his moniker or that of Alan Colmes for that matter?

3 I'm trying to think of a comparison that's more accurate than "softball..."
