Poll: 73% of Americans Unable to Believe This Shit – (Bad News For Kerry)

[Booberdawg]

<snip>

Calling the American people's enormous shit-belief capacity "one of the cornerstones of our democracy," U.S. Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) stressed that it is the patriotic duty of all citizens to grant our leaders the benefit of the doubt with regard to their shit.

"If the American people are no longer willing to believe this shit, who will?" Kerry said. "Somebody's got to take this shit at face value. Otherwise, why are we even doing all this shit in the first place? I am truly saddened by the lack of faith that the citizens of this country are willing to put in my shit, as well as that of my esteemed colleagues. We must repair our society's fraying trust in the shit of our elected officials, or you would not believe the kind of hardcore, heavy-duty shit that will come down."

Hey, next time you want to make a joke like that, let us know that it's a joke. Wiggle your ears . . . or put in some smileys . . . or make it funny, or something.

10. Y'know, if he really talked like that

he'd be polling a lot better. The biggest problem I have with Kerry is how consistently he talks down to the voter. If only he'd lighten up and start talking shit (sic) sometimes...

Although his last joke was about Al Gore inventing the Internet...
