Obama-Backing Senator Makes Crack About McCain Wearing Adult Diapers
October 20, 2008 2:59 PM
At a business summit on energy, Politickerma.com reports, a prominent supporter of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Mass., made a crack about Sen. John McCain's age.
"These are the exciting last two week moments of the presidential campaign," said Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., today in Cambridge, Mass. "So it's a very special time. I can't wait for it to be over. I am so tired of the press' silly questions that they ask along the way. And cable television which reduces everything to stupidity - the lowest common denominator of conflict."
"I don't know if any of you know what it's like. I do, obviously," Kerry told the crowd. "I've been asked all of those brilliant questions that were repeated this year...Barack got asked the famous boxers or briefs question. I was tempted to say commando...
"Then they asked McCain and McCain said, ‘Depends,'" Kerry said.

Why is it that there are so many jokes about adult incontinence? It really isn't funny if you are the one dealing with it. Just wish people would think Tranquility instead of Depends they are a far superior product than Depends!!!

I don't know what to say but the thought of a laughter wouldn't hurt at all. Furthermore, laughter is the best medicine. Politics is a dirty game.

You would be surprised by how many people wear adult diapers, and it's not funny to them either. I see teens all the way to seniors ordering them online every day.

Have you been reading about what happens to you liberal nutcases after Obama is "elected?" Slolen or bought is more like it. The media is fast becoming history. You might not have a job. We are not going to buy your product. O' happy days.

Obama claims that Palin is trying to distract the American people from the real issues when she questions his association with William Ayers.To be the Prez you must be able to focus on more than 1 thing and I believe the American people can do that Mr obama

"I normally don't get into name-calling, but since McCain's calling Obama a socialist, I think it's only fair for Kerry to say that McCain wears depends....... Posted by: Brigette_J | Oct 20, 2008 5:03:58 PM" ... seriously, what's wrong w/being a socialist? There are tons of people who are proud to say that they're a socialist, Ayers being one of them. If you talk like one, act like one... have chains of friends who are one... there is nothing wrong in it. Obama doesn't hide the fact that he believes in redistributing the wealth. Again, it's just a difference in beliefs in where one wants america to be. If Obama believes in socialist values, there's no shame in hiding it.
I don't agree with him... but that's not name calling. Unless of course, you think being a socialist is a bad thing...

John Kerry reminds me of the Addams Family butler, Lurch, except for the personality. Lurch actually had one.

This is just repulsive. I think John Kerry needs to stay home and keep quiet. Is this really the man Obama wants to be a cabinet Secretary?? Oh my God!

Funny what it's okay to poke fun at and what it isn't. Old people are still fair game, apparently. It's amazing that these people keep getting elected to the great Washington Welfare Program, i.e., Congress. If they had to do an honest day's work, they'd starve. No wonder they are all so in the pocket for government spending. That's how the fools keep their jobs. Vote 'em all out and start over. God, they make me SICK.

Wasn't McCain the guy Kerry begged to be his VP in 2004? And who refused it?

Kerry is almost as old as Senator John McCain, and Biden is older. The Botox job on Biden was bad. He looks weird. Kerry is just a big mouth that served in Vietnam and make himself out a hero, when , in fact, he was and is a zero.
Murtha appears to be senile. I guess all democrats get mean-spirited and hateful when they get a little age on them.
Senator McCain walks with a spring in his step, which I can't say for Murtha, Kerry and Biden. They act like old men,
And look it.

Had Jay Leno told this it would have been funny...tasteless, but funny. John Kerry is the most unfunny person in the world so he can't pull it off.
Boxers or briefs? (It) depends.....
The key is not to SAY "Depends" as in adult diapers....but to say "...depends" as in "sometimes I wear boxers, sometimes briefs" and then let the listener HEAR "Depends" as in adult diapers.
Kerry probably didn't mean it as an insult, he just couldn't tell a decent joke if his life "depends" on it. But, boy I'll bet this story gives Faux news, "Crying Sean" Hannity, red faced Limbaugh and the other righties some serious knots in their own panties!

When Theresa and John Kerry find they need Depends because they have no control over their bodily actions, I wonder if they will be laughing?
It is one thing to joke about children in diapers--it's another to joke about senior citizens.

Poor Senator Kerry. Ever since it came out about his wife Theresa "Hamass" Heinz Kerry's support for the terrorists who put bomb belts on their own children, his credible ratings have sunk to well below garbage levels.
I think they just allow him to be senator because they feel sorry for a guy who's own face resembles Frankenstein's Monster - and that's a compliment.

His remarks are nothing. This world and
the USA's reputation is in the TOILET -
and all you people talk about is a depends remark. GTFP people!

Kerry is a pathetic fool....And to think that this piece of trash had the nerve to even run for President. The majority of these lying , crimminal politicians need to face the wrath of the Citizens of this country!...We want REAL CHANGE!, and that means throwing these crooks out of office, and putting them on trial for their crimes against the American Ctitizens!.

The slights of vets in 72 are not myths.
I went to an interview and when I answered "No" to the question "Did you smoke marijuana?" (Alcohol was my vice), the interviewer came back with " Oh come on, I know EVERYBODY in VietNam smoked marijuana" SO please don't tell me there wasn't ignorance about the soldiers.

More proof as to why the Munster Lurch-looking Senator Kerry lost the election in 2004. I'm sure elderly, sick or other people who medically need Depends find such a "joke" reprehensible as do those who love these people. Incontinence isn't funny - especially to those who must endure it.
John Kerry is an elitest moron who blew a Presidential election that was his to easily win.
There is no mental image more hilarious than J. Kerry skulking about wearing a camo outfit and pretending to be a hunter - now there's a REAL belly laugh!!
