Tubbs Jones’ Resurrection Makes John Kerry Appear Foolish

We do not wish to make jokes about Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones’ death and resurrection. But we do want John Kerry to learn his lesson. It’s kind of WEIRD when you first hear about someone’s death in one of John Kerry’s 977 daily e-mails. For Christ’s sake, let the body settle! Because she was not dead after all, and now you are creepy.

  1. Kerry does have a sort of creepy undertaker cast to his appearance. In cartoons, at least.

  2. Iggy Plop says at 3:45 pm, August 20th, 2008

    John Kerry’s been dead for years. His current status is “fully automated,” hence the 977 daily e-mails. Probably a malfunction in the processing unit, but no one wants to open up his casing to check.

    Good thing I started blocking those annoying Kerry emails long ago.

    Is there an award for the biggest douche in D.C? There should be. I submit we create such an award and call it the Kerry.

  5. Darehead says at 3:49 pm, August 20th, 2008

    This resurrects the whole flip-flop thing.

    There’s no reason to play both sides of this issue, Senator.

  8. Nikolai Vsevolodovich Stavrogin says at 3:53 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Darehead: Now THAT’S funny!

  9. freakishlystrong says at 3:55 pm, August 20th, 2008

    pdiddycornchips: There is, it’s called the “President”..

  10. The Incomparable Tiny Valdez says at 3:56 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Why did he think it was his role to make this announcement anyway?

  11. The Intern says at 3:58 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Part of me wonders who the hell writes his matereal. First he was for the war before he was against it, now he says that she was dead before he realized that she was alive. John, fire your Comm people, please! For your own sake!

  12. Kerry should do what his previous VP is currently doing. Hide until after the election.

  13. Mr. Herpes says at 4:01 pm, August 20th, 2008

    I’m sure Sen. Mufkin will send out a strong e-statement soon against death. If somebody had to have a brain blowout, why couldn’t it have been Cheney? Or Nader? Or Putin?

  14. Larry Fine says at 4:02 pm, August 20th, 2008

    While Kerry was wind-surfing, the sail-fin must have knocked his head and even through his helmet hair, gave him a concussion that caused him to make this mistatement.

  15. Lionel Hutz Esq. says at 4:03 pm, August 20th, 2008

    After Tubbs Jones resurrection, if Obama does not fee the masses at Denver, I am going to be sorely disappointed.

    Iggy Plop: Kerry = Akira. Think about it.

  16. johnbpt says at 4:05 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Dammit, John Kerry is just ahead of his time! Why can’t you fools see that?!!!

  17. gjdodger says at 4:06 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Now he’s going to tell a bunch of students they’d better study, or else they’ll end up in Heaven like Rep. Tubbs-Jones.

    Funny, I just got this email from him.

  19. pdiddycornchips says at 4:09 pm, August 20th, 2008

    freakishlystrong:

    Do all Presidents past and future fit the description? Certainly Van Buren was. He got the snot kicked out of him by the Whigs. How bad do you have to be to lose to a party that can’t think of a better name than the Whigs?

  20. shortsshortsshorts says at 4:11 pm, August 20th, 2008

    He went to visit Tubbsies, and when he started talking she appeared to die, as do most people who talk to Kerry.

  21. freakishlystrong says at 4:13 pm, August 20th, 2008

    pdiddycornchips: Shudder to think, losing to a party that calls itself “Republicans”..

  22. Gormogon says at 4:30 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Clinton superdelegate U.S. Sen Dianne Feinstein has chickened out of attending the DNC convention, claiming a broken ankle. Better than being stroked out on the highway or getting shot in the face at your office, I suppose.

    Gormogon:

    When the PUMA’s hear about this, Obama Super D’s better sleep with one eye open.

  24. BobLoblawLawBlog says at 4:47 pm, August 20th, 2008

    See, GOP??? You didn’t need to make a big deal out of his windsurfing jackassery; he’d do something REALLY stupid all on his own.
    To be fair, though, Tubbs Jones has the same saved email ready to go about Kerry, in case Teresa drowns him in 57 delicious sauces…and creamery butter…I need a snack.

  25. gjdodger says at 5:05 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Where’s Bill Frist, anyway? Isn’t he the senator who’s supposed to be providing diagnoses from 2,000 miles away?

  26. DangerousLiberal says at 5:16 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Wow, this is quite some gaffe (well, not really, compared to tank riding or Poland-Soviet-Domination-Denying). But you wouldn’t trust John Kerry to tell you that the sun sets in the west if you didn’t verify it first, right? Effing dingus.

  27. obfuscator says at 5:18 pm, August 20th, 2008

    If John Kerry is willing to flip flop on an issue as fundamental as death, I don’t see how the American people can trust his stated position on LIHEAP subsidies.

  28. masterdebater says at 6:15 pm, August 20th, 2008

    No harm, but kind of foul.

  29. liquiddaddy says at 6:27 pm, August 20th, 2008

    “Contact: Whitey Smith”? Now why would anybody want to do that?

  30. Oscar Folsom Cleveland says at 6:46 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Resurrected? Rreally?? Does Bishop Rick Warren knows this?
    Maybe Barry should ask the late Ms Tubbs Jones to run as prez and he can Veep for her.

  31. Dumb Ass says at 7:21 pm, August 20th, 2008

    She did pass away. So much for the scoop.

  32. She’s dead.

  33. Who knew “The Dead Zone” was a documentary on the young John Kerry?

    Maybe we should get Kerry to shake Walnuts’ hand and see when he intends to push the button.

  34. DangerousLiberal says at 8:35 pm, August 20th, 2008

    AxmxZ: Shit–John Kerry, clairvoyant, or just lucky?

  35. BillyClubb says at 9:22 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Kerry may have been a bit premature, but in the end he was right:
    N.Y. Times

  36. Mista Eko says at 11:27 pm, August 20th, 2008

    Ah, Kerry reverts to his presidential campaign form: Knows what’s coming and what to do, but just completely botches the delivery.

  37. Rep. Tubbs Jones is still more lively than John McCain.

  38. freakishlystrong:
    I find it hard to think that a group of republicans can be called a party.
    Some party, nothing but two buck chuck and underage male prostitutes.
    Not that there’s anything wrong with all that.
