Kerry Acting “Presidential”
By Matt Margolis | March 19, 2004
John Kerry hit the slopes this week, taking a vacation from his year long spree of attacking President Bush. With Kerry’s latest gaffes and flip-flops, a little time out of the limelight could have done him some good — but he blew that one:
The image-conscious candidate and his aides prevailed upon reporters and photographers to let him have a first run down the mountain solo, except for two agents and Marvin Nicholson, his omnipresent right-hand man.
His next trip down, a reporter and a camera crew were allowed to follow along on skis - just in time to see Mr. Kerry taken out by one of the Secret Service men, who had inadvertently moved into his path, sending him into the snow.
When asked about the mishap a moment later, he said sharply, “I don’t fall down,” then used an expletive to describe the agent who “knocked me over.”
Now that’s a way to act Presidential… Cursing an agent for inadvertantly getting in way down the slopes? They’re there to protect him are they? Evidently, Kerry is so concerned with his “image” that he cares more about defaming an agent for causing him to fall on the slopes that he can’t just shake it off, and even just laugh about it. Instead he has to say “I don’t fall down,” or tell the media he was knocked over.
Does John Kerry expect to appeal to voters by not acting presidential and cursing at his own security who are there to protect him?
John Kerry should just swallow his pride - perhaps it’ll keep him from opening his mouth and embarressing himself further.
