John Kerry: Bush A Criminal, Looting Country:

Failed presidential candidate John Kerry blasted President Bush on Thursday as a "criminal" who has been "looting the country."

Zzzz. As opposed to looting Teresa's trust funds, I suppose, but tell me more.

The Massachusetts Democrat offered the incendiary comments during an off the record meeting with liberal bloggers after a speech in Los Angeles to the Pacific Council on International Policy.

According to the Web site L.A. Observed, Kerry asked the bloggers to keep his comments confidential; a request they apparently dismissed out of hand without telling him.

Snort. Lay down with dogs, get up with fleas. Lay down with leftoid moonbat bloggers and get up with an STD.

Blogger "Hollywood Liberal" reports that Kerry "agreed completely with someone's assessment that everything that Bush does is solely for the purpose of looting the country."

"[Kerry] basically said that Bush and his cohorts are criminals" the blogger continued. "At some other point he referred to Supreme Court Justices Alito, Scalia, and Roberts as 'Idiots.'"

With an eye on 2008, Kerry has been courting the blog community, which helped make Howard Dean the early Democratic presidential frontrunner in 2004.

I'm surprised he didn't give them all hummers. And I don't mean the SUV.
