		<description>1. Kerry asked Al Gore what he would do with the money, and decided to put in into a &quot;lock box&quot;.

2. He asked Bill Clinton what he would do, and decided to save it to bolster the $7 million for future legal fees.  (Big smile and a &quot;thumbs-up&quot;).

3. He asked Tuhrayza what to do with it, and the money somehow ended up in Pennsylvania. (R&amp;D for green ketchup?)

4.  He asked Saddam what to do and it was used to bribe the U.N., build a few vacation homes in Nantucket and Vail, and rough up some RNC campaign workers.

5.  He asked Jacques Strap, uh Chirac, and it was used to secure reduced price oil for the State of Massachusetts.

6.  He asked Hilary, and she said &quot;you can use it as my V.P. running mate in 2008!&quot;

Some one please stop me....</description>

		<description>Y&#039;know, I keep thinking there will be a reason for this.  But I can&#039;t come up with one.

The Kerry campaign was horribly managed.  It was a pretty clear indication that a Kerry White House would have been similarly horribly managed, at least in the early years.  Clinton&#039;s early years were awful too, but he improved.  Sometimes you can learn management on the job...

I mean, did they not want to spend money on more ads?  Sure moveon, ACT, etc. were spending plenty of money on ads, but they weren&#039;t the official campaign line.

Maybe they really didn&#039;t want to spend money on ads.  There&#039;s alot of resentment among many consultants in Democratic circles about how rich Shrum and Company have gotten from media buys.  It&#039;s clear that some in the campaign wanted to minimize the paid media expenses.

Still, I keep thinking there will be an explanation.  Kerry certainly owes his donors an explanation.  If I were a donor, I would never, EVER give my money to someone who used my money so wastefully.</description>
