John Kerry--Beyond the limits of botox
By John Burtis

Wednesday, August 2, 2006

There are growing concerns about the health and appearance of John Kerry, one of the Democratic Party’s premier politruks and the former Presidential standard bearer.

It was recently reported on Free Republic by `pabianice' that "he looked terrible" in a recent appearance on Fox News, with fears that he was "suffering from some illness that has been kept secret."

First of all Mr. Kerry has been a busy lad, jet-setting back and forth between Washington D.C. and his beloved Boston, making speeches as recently as Monday, where he opined for the need for cradle-to-grave-John Kerry-care.

This great health care bonanza is designed to rid America of the unhealthy and the uninsured by government fiat, to pull himself ahead of Hillary in the lengthy healthcare derby by the length of a patrician nose, and to insure his enshrinement in the halls of Democratic heroes, where he can rub elbows and a growing girth with FDR and Senor Fidel Castro--champions of centrally controlled medicine.

John Kerry takes fight against cancer personally
By Bella English, Globe Staff | August 2, 2006

As he prepares to bicycle 111 miles Saturday to raise money for cancer, Senator John Kerry reflected this week on his own battle with the disease, saying prostate cancer changed his life profoundly -- from his relationships with friends, family, and constituents to his political battles for better health care for poor people.

``It doesn't scare me as much as cancer just pisses me off," said Kerry, who was diagnosed with prostate cancer during his presidential primary campaign in 2002. ``Too many incredible people weren't as lucky as I was, some because they had a cancer we can't yet cure, and others because they didn't get screening or care in time or couldn't afford great health care. Every American should have the same health care that senators and congressmen get."

Though his doctors consider him cured of the early-stage cancer -- his prostate was removed in February 2003 -- Kerry gets regular checkups. His last one, 12 days ago, was clean.

``It's a good feeling," said Kerry, 63, who spoke on his way to Belmont Wheelworks, the bike store he frequents. He needed a new wheel for his custom-built Serotta and had to get his bicycle cleats fixed before this weekend's Pan-Massachusetts Challenge. He'll join 4,300 other cyclists to benefit cancer research and treatment at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Kerry, an avid cyclist, has participated in the fund-raiser three times before, raising $12,475. He's also biked for cancer research in Iowa with Lance Armstrong, a two-time survivor, and wears on his left wrist the yellow rubber ``Livestrong" bracelet worn by millions of Armstrong fans.

1. What so secret about someone having cancer

Which country they living in :rofl:

[blm]

5. GOPers spread the rumor Kerry had botox during the campaign to explain

why his pics from the early primary looked different than his later pics. His cancer surgery was in Feb 2003 and he was intreatment for most of that year. All cancer patients wear their ordeal on their face. Once he was better and more rested, his face showed it, and the idiot media put the pics side by side suspecting botox and completely forgetting that the man has recent cancer treatment.

Even Jay Leno attacked Kerry for botox, showing the pics. It really was unbelievable that people in the media did what they did to a cancer patient. I don't recall Ingraham getting attacked for her physical weariness during her cancer treatment.

2. If he were to have a illness he doesn't have to tell anyone

honestly it wouldn't even be his wife's or children's business if he didn't want it to be.

[pinto]

3. Boy that hits all the push button points, it seems. JK loves Boston

he has money :nopity:, he takes a jet from DC to Boston :scared: , favors universal health care, admires FDR, and the ever obligatory Hillary mention. :rofl:

[blm]

7. And they can do it in four sentences. ;)))))

.

4. Freepers lie, and then they lie about the lie.

[sendero]

6. John Burtis..

... another know-nothing do-nothing dickweed who can dish out innuendo bon-mots and do fuck all else.

What a trifling smattering of bullshit this wet wiggly maggot has written.

[blm]

12. Do you know this guy's work?

I only know he's from Canada - - poor Canada gets hearsay from Free Republic, too.

[sendero]

13. Google his name...

.. he's a silver-tongued moron of the highest order.

[globalvillage]

8. I guessed 6:26

I was way off.

Did you see the pic of Mr Burtis below the story? His diet must be cholesterol on a plate. He looks like John Bolton's twin brother.
He's got some nerve suggesting Sen Kerry's got some mystery illness. Anyone who can ride 111 miles in 5:47 is in pretty damn good shape.

9. I guess

Spreading rumours about a veteran is easier than enlisting in a war.

[Gman]

10. "Recently reported on FR"???

WTF??? That's scary that anyone would write something like that.

[blm]

11. Hey - Free Republic IS a news source to Cspan. Shows what side cable tv

executives are on.

[wisteria]

14. Lies, lies, lies! However, in regards to that cradle to grave Kerry Care,

I wouldn't mind some of that.
