The Mudville Gazette is the on-line voice of an American warrior and his wife who stands by him. They prefer to see peaceful change render force of arms unnecessary. Until that day they stand fast with those who struggle for freedom, strike for reason, and pray for a better tomorrow.

Kewler Snappy Comebacks for Kerry's College Crowd Kontest

Greyhawk

You ever have one of those painful moments where you realize a few minutes too late what you could have said, instead of the really stupid comment you actually made?

It happens to everyone. And it just happened to John Kerry:

Kerry’s 25 minute speech was interrupted briefly by a small group of protesters who put “flip-flop” sandals on their hands and clapped and chanted that Kerry “flop-flops” on issues.

“I’ll make a deal with you,” Kerry responded. “I’ll send people to George Bush’s rallies and they can clap their unemployment checks together.”

Ouch.

Okay, to be fair, Kerry also said “I feel like I’m back in college living on beer and pizza — and whatever.”

So maybe if it hadn't been for - whatever he would have thought of something better. As I said, doubtless he did, a few minutes later.

How about this: "I’ll send people to George Bush’s rallies and they can clap their silver spoons together.”

Yea, it's a cliche, but it would have brought down the house. They want to cheer this man, he's notBush!

So here's the deal, in the comments you craft your "better response" for John Kerry when he's heckled like that again (and you can bet it will happen) and maybe, just maybe, you'll get the satisfaction of hearing him actually use it.

What, you don't think I get Kerry supporters here?

I've had 86 visitors from France this month alone.

Go ahead, we'll call it a contest.

The "Kewler Snappy Comebacks for Kerry's College Crowd Kontest"

Update: Judges? We've got judges.

Michele from A Small Victory

Frank J from IMAO

Scott Ott from ScrappleFace

And Allah from Allah is in the House

And as if that weren't inspiration enough, here's a picture of JFK from the big event where he launched that stinker of a comment.

Help him, oh blogosphere, to deliver a line worthy of this fine platform!

Another Update: Prize number one: A donation to a military charity in the name of the winner. Pledge is currently at 10 cents per entry, meaning 10 entries equals one dollar donated. One hundred entries is 10 dollars, etc. Meaning the blogosphere has to come through on this. To clarify: this costs you nothing. A donation is made in your name.

Legitimate entries only. Troll posts and off-topic garbage don't count.

Void where prohibited. Additional details to follow.
