| Kerry Does 'Top Ten List'

The AP reports on Kerry’s Letterman appearance, including his joke that Dick Cheney could claim the president “as a dependent.”

The list:

Top Ten Bush Tax Proposals:
#10. No estate tax for families with at least two U.S. Presidents.
#9. W-2 form is now Dubya-2 forms.
#8. Under simplified tax code, your refund check goes directly to Halliburton.
#7. Reduced earned income tax credit is so unfair, it makes me want to tear out my lustrous, finely groomed hair.
#6. Attorney General Ashcroft gets to write off U.S. Constitution
#5. Texas Rangers can take business loss for trading Sammy Sosa.
#4. Eliminate all income taxes; just ask Teresa to cover the whole damn thing
#3. Cheney can claim Bush as a dependent
#2. Hundred-dollar penalty if you pronounce it “nuclear” instead of “nucular.”
#1. Bush gets deduction for mortgaging our entire future.

All I have to say is that once Kerry said that Bush will be sitting on Cheney’s lap, he has opened himself up greatly. Anyone who looks like Frankenstein’s Monster should not be aggressive about anyone’s looks or demeanor. There will be far more KERRY costumes this Halloween than any other….Herman Munster has been revived and his wife Lilly is found out to be a scumbag, or is it just a BAG. Here in flyover country we call her ‘a piece of…..work!’ ha ha And you thought I was gonna say?

In a feeble response to the “Windsurfing” ad, the Kerry campaign nagged that Bush should not be joking while Americans are dying.

Did they say that while Windsock was doing this list?
