What Will Kerry Do This Sunday?

MSNBC is indicating that Kerry cancels visit to West Virginia church. As reported earlier this week this week by your EdWonk, Kerry went trolling for votes in an African American Church in Miami, Florida, last Sunday. Certain remarks of a...er...ah..political nature made by the church's Pastor and Jesse Jackson caused a major uproar.

The church's pastor introduced John Kerry as the next President and urged his flock to vote for him.

As tax-exempt institutions, churches are not permitted to be overtly partisan, and to do so is against the law. (Of course no charges have been filed.)

John Kerry's Sunday Action-Plan also included appearances by ex-Ku Klux Klansman Senator Robert Byrd and Junior Senator Jay Rockefeller. (EdWonk does not know if Byrd was to bring his sheets or Rockefeller a couple of tons of cash for the collection plate.)

Kerry and Company will be out of luck this Sunday, as the Pastor of the Apostolic Church of Christ cancelled their joint appearances because the candidates had planned to discuss politics from the church pulpit.

We find that hilarious. Every time Kerry attempts to relate to us regl'r people, he comes across as what he is: an insincere, blue-blooded, "Skull and Bones" ivy-league educated Boston Brahman with five large homes.

Since Sunday Services are apparently no longer an option, maybe the wannabe "man of the people" could go and have brunch at the local International House Of Pancakes. If Teresa will let him.

It has been said that if you take a gorilla and put him in a tuxedo, what you invariably wind-up with is a gorilla in a tuxedo. Kerry is what he is. He would be better served not to pretend otherwise. Kerry's idol, John F. Kennedy, never would have made that mistake.
