Election of the Fittest

Which is why John Kerry will lose.

Despite his campaign's frantic efforts to portray Kerry as the quintessential American jock, the candidate's selection of sports — snowboarding, windsurfing, ice hockey — does nothing to bolster that image. Windsurfing is something the typical American may do for an hour on a two-week vacation at Myrtle Beach; you don't build a fitness program around it.

Conversely, George W. Bush is an athlete, albeit an adult-onset one. He runs 6-minute miles, bench-press 200 pounds, chops wood out on the ranch. Heck, he's been on the cover of "Runner's World." Unlike Kerry's, the president's workouts are actual periods of elevated heart rate and significant exertion, not orchestrated photo ops. The president doesn't exercise for the benefit of the press corps.

note: he was a fucking cheerleader!!!

Our president — the true jock — allowed himself to be photographed soon after his spill, unashamed of the scrapes on his face. Bush does fall, just like Kerry, but the president does so with class. And whatever you think of Bush's policies, there's no arguing with 14.5-percent body fat.

- more . . . if you want a good laugh . . . these people are getting REALLY desperate . . .

the paper it was printed on. What a waste of print space.

Blonde (she even wrote an article about it), long-haired, full of shit and willing to make up factoids rather than pick up a phone and call either GOP Opposition Research or Kerry 2004.

No slight against blondes is intended. I, too, am blond, and a "natural blond" no less. But this right-wing-blonde thing has gotten to be hilarious in its own right. Unlike the predictable, un-hilarious writing of the Bimbaux Blondes.

I know her type: the girls in high school who have a sychophantic devotion to the asshole football players. In college they become the snooty sorority girls who only date asshole frat guys abd then grow up to be trophy wives for corporate crooks.

He's also been on the cover of Drunk Driver Monthly and AWOL Magazine !:evilgrin:

So... shrub is so pathetic and lacks every possible real qualification for president that the Right has to point out that he's a "true jock"?! This about a guy who wears a fucking mouthguard when road biking? Is low bodyfat a qualification to these people? (maybe it is since the Republicans get to take credit for electing the fattest president in American history...)



Unintentional humor alert: it may not happen for everyone, but for me there was an ad for the Cato Institute next to the article that consisted of alternation between Jefferson and Marx with "Think like him" and "Not like him," respectively. It just so reactionary and ludicrous (Jefferson, after all, was the great champion of private enterprise who set up the first state-funded university...).

Or sit in the stands and watch.

Guess a 6 minute mile is important when you're being chased by cicadas.

This is just so mind-numbing that it makes me want to beat my head against the desk. Are we to believe that Americans are THAT stupid? I went to the University of Georgia back during the Jan Kemp scandal (for those that don't remember, know or care it was a scandal where a teacher came out and said that UGA athletes were remaining in developmental studies for 4 years). My sister dated a UGA starting football player (later played in the pros) that was so dumb he HONESTLY didn't know who the President of the US was (Reagan at the time). Not saying that all jocks are dumb, but that is the sterotype. Guess when faced with the fact that Bush* cannot compete with Kerry in the intelligence department, they have to pull out the old argument used to bully so many in high school. Yeah, that's about the mentality of these people.
