I don’t much care if he’s gay. I do care if he’s a liar and hypocrite. I just want the media to treat this book as seriously as they treated the Swift Boat Liars for Bush. ---

Maybe any other book than ‘The Pet Goat’ and he’d have got bored immediately. Must be into animals. ---

> [@SnakeSpirit](#): > > Oh come ON! > > Why do you think he hesitated for eight minutes while reading “My Pet Goat?” Couldn’t tear himself away from the kiddies. > > ;j That’s not why he waited nine minutes. He waited ten minutes because he was indecisive. John Kerry wouldn’t have waited for those eleven minutes. Long before the twelve minutes were up, Kerry would have been headed up the Potomac in a Swift Boat, guns ablazing. Those thirteen minutes were the most critical fourteen minutes in the history of the United States. ---

Um, I hate to ruin a joke by explaining it, but it all started with the 9/11 Commission’s 5 to 7 minutes. Michael Moore had settled on the maximum estimate of 7. Snakespirit increased it to 8. I made it 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14. Picture it as copy for Jon Stewart. ---
