Re: Lawrence Henry’s
Flinty?

/p>
I think that flinty is a perfect way to characterize John Kerry. Flint, the rock, not the place that Moore says he’s from, is a rock that flakes, if used against steel it sparks, but that’s about it.
John Kerry is flakey. His comments frequently show that he is flakey. Look at his wimpy start at the Democratic convention: “I’m John Kerry, and I’m reporting for duty.” If I was his commanding officer, and he approached me in that way, I would have had a hard time not laughing in his face. He paints himself as this great war hero then rips all his fellow veterans by his actions after his abbreviated tour of duty. He is a flake.
p>He talks a good game then blows it. How about his approach to the war on terror, he would fight a more “sensitive” war. How, by getting the terrorists around a camp fire at Camp David and sing Kumbaya, pass the joint, and stick flowers in our hair? He said he has a plan — spark — but he wouldn’t show it unless he’s elected. Poof! No flame. br> — Jim br> New York, New York /p> p> Unlax, Doc, as the wily carrot cruncher would say. I would be willing to wager Mr. Henry that it was nothing more than an innocent typo, easily corrected by replacing the “n” with the more accurately descriptive “t.” br> —
