The famously impotent Bob Dole has a lock on hypocrisy |
Meanwhile, the famously impotent former presidential candidate Bob
Dole jumped into Bush's Big Bucket o' Slime with both feet last week,
criticizing John Kerry's war record on CNN's Inside Edition by saying
that Kerry had "three Purple Hearts and never bled that I know of."
I do hope that from now on Dole is going to intercept American
soldiers returning from Iraq to make sure they're injured enough
before they're awarded the Purple Heart.
He could separate them into two lines when they come off the plane.
Not that self-inflicted superficial wounds were a big problem for Dole
when he was awarded the Purple Heart of course.
In Unlimited Partners: Our American Story, he wrote, "As we approached
the enemy, there was a brief exchange of gunfire. I took a grenade in
hand, pulled the pin, and tossed it in the direction of the farmhouse.
It wasn't a very good pitch - remember, I was used to catching passes,
not throwing them. In the darkness, the grenade must have struck a
tree and bounced off. It exploded nearby, sending a sliver of metal
into my leg - the sort of injury the Army patched up with
mercurochrome and a Purple Heart."
Can it get any more hypocritical than this?
Actually, yes it can!
During the CNN interview, Wolf Blitzer showed Bob Dole a Kerry
campaign ad which highlighted a 2000 primary debate between John
McCain and George W. Bush.
At the time Bush was refusing to denounce an "independent" smear
campaign attacking McCain's record, and the portion of the debate
featured in the ad shows McCain telling Bush, "you should be ashamed
of yourself."
When CNN cuts to the ad, a leaked raw video feed shows Dole saying of
McCain, "he was right."
Not that Dole deigned to express that opinion while he was live on
air, mind you.

Then he's full of *****, as usual. When Kerry rescued Rassman his
crewmates Del Sandusky and others report that Kerry's arm was bleeding
profusely.

made that faith is one of the world's great evils,

eradicate." -- Richard Dawkins

Dole's first purple heart was self-inflicted. Here is what he said
about it in 1996:
"As we approached the enemy, there was a brief exchange of gunfire. I
took a grenade in hand, pulled the pin, and tossed it in the direction
of the farmhouse. It wasn't a very good pitch (remember, I was used to
catching passes, not throwing them). In the darkness, the grenade must
have struck a tree and bounced off. It exploded nearby, sending a sliver

With all due respect, another old geezer who, when he opens his mouth,
says absolutely nothing. How the hell does Bob Dole know if Kerry bled
from his purple hearts? Was Dole on that swiftboat, too?

Bob dole was not on the swift boat but he has proved that he is a slime ball.
Dole lasted a very short time in combat. He was very badly injured and he was
in the hospital for 39 months. The nurse that treated him probably saved his
life. He married that woman but a few years later was cheating on her with the
new senator elizabeth. Elizabeth was a law clerk at the time and she know the
benefits of giving free samples to senators.
