John Kerry didn't exactly get a hero's welcome from the troops while visiting Iraq. The blogosphere's been having fun with this. Check out this bit from
Ben of Mesopotamia:While in Iraq, things didn't get much better for Senator Kerry. Rumor
has it that somebody gave his helicopter flights the designation
"Weasel 61." (Legend has it that when Senator Clinton visited
Afghanistan, her bird was assigned "Broomstick 11" as its code name).
Before taking off, supposedly the helicopter pilot jumped out of the
front seat while the rotor was turning (an extremely rare event),
approached the rear of the bird, and asked Senator Kerry to autograph a
copy of the photograph below:
To his everlasting credit, Senator Kerry was a good sport and actually signed it!!!
has a hilarious headline for her post on this:
"Lonely, I'm Mr. Lonely."
