Attention-Seeking Dems to Visit Baby Assad

Posted by Van Helsing at December 13, 2006 12:10 PM

Apparently out of patience with a Bush Administration too wise to negotiate with the terrorist regimes that have been stoking the chaos in Iraq, Dem Senators John "Botched Joke" Kerry and Christopher Dodd will be touring the Middle East, meeting with various leaders including Bashar Assad of Syria.

The State Department has expressed concerns, but lacks the backbone to block the visit, which is apparently intended to generate some media face time for Kerry and Dodd, and of course to undermine President Bush's foreign policy.

An added benefit for Kerry is it may help people forget about his latest ventures into the headlines, when he was ranked dead last in a poll of likability, and when he characterized US troops as losers lacking in initiative and intelligence. (Congressman Charles Rangel later seconded Kerry's opinion of our troops.)

As for Dodd, a Connecticut Senator who like Botched Joke longs to be POTUS, any exposure is good exposure. He is still best known for participating in a "waitress sandwich" with Teddy Kennedy, who as Pam M. at Blogmeister USA puts it, served "as the other slice of flabby white bread."

Remember the Dems' Seven Dwarves back in 1988? It looks like they will have no shortage of dwarves in 2008 either. But at least two of the dwarves will have a little extra experience in sucking up to terror-exporting dictators, which should win them some brownie points from the media.
