...and I am beginning to realize that they probably never will...
Meet the Press touted all week long the 'special guest' that would be on yesterday's show. Hmmm, that's the same day that the Iraqi people will be voting, so who could it be? Surely someone that has been connected to that effort as we all watch the events unroll...
...but, NOPE, it was not to be...in fact, Tim Russert's choice of guests leaves me with the assumption that Russert was convinced - along with all the rest of the MSM and liberal left - that things would go badly in Iraq, in fact, probably REALLY BAD...so he and his guest would have a chance to bash the American President...and appear as if they were simply discussing the events of the day...
The 'surprise guest'? John Kerry...and his appearance on Meet the Press yesterday gave him another opportunity to show this nation why it was a good thing he is not in the White House...
...Russert didn't press for an explanation about anything that Kerry said...maybe Russert was in shock at how smoothly things appeared to be going...or - maybe they were waiting for the breaking news to come in about all the bombing of the polls...
The NY Post relays that Kerry is acting like a sore loser: "It is hard to say that something is legitimate when whole portions of the country can't vote and doesn't vote," Kerry said...and then he said that the voting shouldn't be overhyped....
Overhyped??
Millions of Iraqis going to the polls and casting their ballot for the first free elections in almost 50 year and John Kerry is telling people not to overhype the situation??
The joy exploded across Iraq "The street was crowded since 7 a.m. I woke up to the voices of the people on the street — I did not expect such a number," said Thaer, a Sunni engineer who lives in eastern Baghdad, as he sat chatting with his neighborhood friends.
"Everybody feels that he is human today and can have a free voice. No one wanted to lose his chance," he said, elated at the chance to cast his ballot. "I think today will show these terrorists lost their chance in this country.
"But I want to say one thing: I want to thank the U.S. soldiers for bringing this to Iraq," said the ex-soldier who had been imprisoned by deposed ruler Saddam Hussein. "Without them, we would have to vote for Saddam always."
...okay, John F'n Kerry, I won't overhype what happened yesterday...I will let the people of Iraq tell the world themselves...
