Kerry Campaign Memo to Rosie O'Donnell:
"We respectfully request that you make no
public endorsement of Senator Kerry, and that you
not appear at any fundraisers or campaign stopsregarding
Rosie O'Donnell... "No one wants to open up
that can of worms.That girl's ideas cause more
controversy than Herrman Goering in the diamond
district in New York." -- James Carville, on
why Dems are shunning O'Donnell. regarding
Rosie O'Donnell... "I don't even know what
she did to get famous. Do any of you?" asked
Al Sharpton, who has even distanced himself from
O'Donnell. regarding Rosie O'Donnell...
"When you're as far behind in the polls as I
am, you'll take all the support you can get. I'm
just upset that there are two less women to date."
-- Dennis Kucinich.
regarding John Kerry... "As if I'd vote
for that gaunt, Abe Lincoln wannabe, helmet-haired
freak!" said Rosie O'Donnell.
"He's [Sen. John Kerry] not a flip-flopper; he's
like a political zealot (sic). He becomes whatever
he is wherever he is. When he's with the Arab
Americans, he says that the fence is a barrier to
peace. When he's with Jewish Americans, he says
it's a legitimate act of defense. When he's in
Massachusetts on gay marriage, he's against the
Constitution to ban them. When he's in a Southern
primary, he's against gay marriage. Who is he? He
would rather--I don't know. You just can't get a
sense of this guy. He'd rather switch then fight.
He's a political zealot (sic). Will the real John
Kerry come down? We don't need that kind of person
at the helm in these changing times. We need what
we have, steady and steadfast."

The Note.
Get ready, troops
Keep away, Rosie!!
Get ready, troops
by Roger Wm.
Hughes
Get ready troops in Iraq, you are about to be
invaded by the worst allies you could imagine. No,
it’s not the French and the Germans. It’s not
Hillary Clinton coming for another visit.
No, it is worse.
This time it’s guy who voted against stopping
Saddam Hussein after invading Kuwait, against body
armor for the Bradley fighting machine, the B-1
bomber, the B-2, the F-15, the F-14A, the F-14D,
the AH-64 Apache helicopter, the AV-8B Harrier
jet, the Patriot missile, the Aegis air-defense
cruiser, and the Trident missile… and voted to
reduce funding for the M1 Abrams tank, the Bradley
Fighting Vehicle, the Tomahawk cruise missile and
the F-16 jet (now, that is a friend of defense you
can count on….)
That’s right -- it’s Senator John Kerry. However,
Kerry has said that he might not go to Iraq but
instead send people he trusts to ‘make an
assessment.’
"My first instinct is really not to go," Kerry
said. "My first instinct is to try to have a group
of respected people do this because they have to
anyway in the course of Congressional business."
Who do you think would be on the Kerry list? How
about his friends -- Charlie Rangle, Hillary
Clinton, Corrine Brown, Chappaquiddick Ted
Kennedy, Dennis Kuccinich and Barbara Boxer. They
could always take Roger Moore and Jane Fonda as
experts. Well you get the picture…
Maybe it would be better if he went himself.
Keep away, Rosie!!
According to Elliot McMillan,
DeadBrain.com:
… a memo leaked to DeadBrain shows that the Kerry
campaign has asked Rosie O'Donnell to keep her
distance from the Massachusetts Senator. "We
respectfully request that you make no public
endorsement of Senator Kerry, and that you not
appear at any fundraisers or campaign stops," said
the note.
It is believed that the note is in response to
O'Donnell's recent wedding to her long-time
girlfriend Kelli Carpenter. The wedding was
performed in San Francisco, amid swirling
controversy over the legality of same sex
marriages.
O'Donnell is allegedly incensed over the note. The
obese celebrity was heard to rage, "As if I'd vote
for that gaunt, Abe Lincoln wannabe, helmet-haired
freak!" She had been leaning more toward Kerry's
closest opposition, Senator John Edwards from
North Carolina, before Edwards resigned from the
nomination race. O'Donnell said of Edwards, "He's
such a cutie-patootie." Edwards has asked that
O'Donnell stay away from his campaign, his family,
and his patootie.
Democratic front-runners are hesitant to embrace
O'Donnell, fearing any endorsement by her will
cost them critical votes in the South. "No one
wants to open up that can of worms," said
Democratic advisor James Carville. "That girl's
ideas cause more controversy than Herrman Goering
in the diamond district in New York."
Al Sharpton has even distanced himself from
O'Donnell. "I don't even know what she did to get
famous. Do any of you?" asked Sharpton. No one in
the gathered crowd of supporters, onlookers and
media had an answer.
Dennis Kucinich was more accepting of O'Donnell
than the others. "When you're as far behind in the
polls as I am, you'll take all the support you can
get," said the tiny candidate. "I'm just upset
that there are two less women to date."
If O'Donnell is seeking a candidate to support,
the Kerry note suggested that she contact Ralph
Nader
