: Whether Gee-Dubbya won the election or lost the election, the man never had his boots dirtied in the soils of war. Maybe you could run that through Snopes and see if it is just a myth that the man went AWOL for a full year to avoid going to combat.
: : One sunny day after the election, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Avenue, where he'd been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the Marine standing guard and said, "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry."
: : The Marine replied, "Sir, Mr. Kerry is not President and doesn't reside here." The old man said, "Okay," and walked away.
: : The following day, the same man approached the White House and said to the same Marine, "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry." The Marine again told the man, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Kerry is not President and doesn't reside here."
: : The man thanked him and again walked away. The third day, the same man approached the White House and spoke to the very same Marine, saying "I would like to go in and meet with President Kerry." The Marine, understandably agitated at this point, looked at the man and said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you have been here asking to speak to Mr. Kerry. I've told you already that Mr. Kerry is not the President and doesn't reside here. Don't you understand?"
: : The old man answered, "Oh, I understand. I just love hearing it." The Marine snapped to attention, saluted, and said, "See you tomorrow."
My, my, aren't we a bit touchy. I had always been told that the libs were the humorists and the conservatives were the dead wood. Smile, Hilary can run in 4 years - then the rest of us can cry.
