Kerry & Iggy: Seperated at Birth?
It seems that there is an epedemic of foot in mouth disease running rampant around North American politicians. This was a huge story on CNN today and Bush is totally capitalizing off it... in fact you can see an offshot of the Kerry story another CNN article about why the Dems have been too cocky about winning... Regardless of whether I actually agree with Kerry or not, I think that it's fair to say that the general public (well, okay at least me) have little sympathy when politicians make remarks that are taken out of context. I mean, it's politics, right? That's the name of the game. As an elected official, everything you say has the potential of being taken out of context... and if you are a good politician you recognize this and then plan accordingly... and you should make sure that your defense isn't: "it was taken out of context".
Apologies if I appear to be excessively harsh... I am just v nervous about the Mid Terms and want to make sure that the conditions are 'perfect' to allow a Dem victory.

That's funny, because when I first saw Iggy, I thought he could have been Kerry's brother - same looks, same mannerisms, etc.
There's a rat in separate. And in separated, too. And yes, Kerry and Iggy are a lot alike.
Yes, one is like a train wreck and the other is more like a slow-venting nuclear meltdown. And looks like for once the Canucks got the bigger disaster.
Kerry claims to have 'learned his lessons' from 2004....I don't think so. Iggy's been away from Canada too long. He hasn't noticed that the 'two founding nations' thing has been irrelevant for a long time. Quebec is distinct in the same that that Alberta is!
So it would be fair to say that you, and I quote:
"actually agree with Kerry"
Don't be to quick to justify taking a statement out of context.
Point well taken, Hobbes. Good thing I'm not a politician running for the leadership of a major Canadian political party...
