Can I Get Me Some of That There Genuineness?
Bill at INDC Journal notes some ridiculous pandering from John Kerry. An article in the Cleveland Plain Dealer reports:
[Kerry] made campaign stops meant to play to southeast Ohio’s strong gun-rights voters. In Pike County’s city of Buchanan, Kerry’s motorcade stopped at the Village Grocery Store, where he paid $140 for a hunting license he plans to use during a hunting trip and campaign stop in Youngstown this week.
“Can I get me a hunting license here?” Kerry asked store owners Paul and Debra McKnight.
“Can I get me a hunting license here?” Sheesh. That’s Kerry trying to talk like the common folks.
It’s pathetic. It reminds me of when Al Gore would deliver speeches to black audiences in a comically raspy shout.
It’s phony, folks. PHONY. Yet another reason to prefer Bush.
Next he’ll be saying “y’all.”

[...] I bet that left a mark. Sure, they’ve tried to spin this for a while now. The truth is the truth. Now how will they spin it? Hunting season is coming up, isn’t it? How long will it be until Senator Obama walks into a sporting goods store to ‘get me a hunting license?‘ [...]
