Sweet Sassy Molassy!

From the Football Fans For Truth. Boo-yah!

Cheesed-off readers from Wisconsin e-mailed us last month when Kerry referred to the Green Bay Packers' Lambeau Field as "Lambert Field." You'd think Kerry wouldn't have fumbled that Frenchified name, but Football Fans for Truth also notes Kerry's infamously bungled praise of the Ohio State Buckeyes... during a visit to Michigan.

And it cites a third gridiron gripe about the Massachusetts Democrat, complete with photographic proof: "John Kerry throws a football like a girl." The group zaps the senator for other athletic offenses as well, including:

  • "Kerry told a radio interviewer that his favorite Red Sox player was Eddie Yost. Eddie Yost never played for the Sox."
  • "Kerry once praised 'Manny Ortez' of the Red Sox. There's no Manny Ortez on the Sox lineup – or indeed, any other MLB roster. Manny Ramirez and David Ortiz play for the Red Sox. Maybe all baseball players' names sound alike to the Democrat nominee."
  • "When Kerry threw the first pitch at a Red Sox-Yankees game, he did not throw from the pitcher's mound – yet still bounced the ball before it reached home plate. He then blamed his namby-pamby throw on the catcher, a National Guard soldier and Iraq war veteran: 'I held back,' Kerry told reporters. 'He was very nervous. I tried to lob it gently.' Conclusion: John Kerry throws a baseball worse than a girl."
  • His elitist attempt to blame a Secret Service agent for a fall while skiing.
  • One we'll add: Kerry's snotty jab at President Bush's bicycle accident, even though the senator himself also fell off his bike.

Football Fans for Truth asserts that "America deserves a President who knows the difference between an airport and a football field."
