Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry told voters in America’s Dairyland on Monday that President Bush had a secret plan that would hurt milk producers after the election.
[…]
Kerry said he would fill milk bottles at his uncle’s dairy farm as a young boy. “I have a great sense of the land,” Kerry said. “I really do. I’m tired of small family farmers getting squeezed.”
The details are a little murky, but it seems the “secret Bush plan” is to drive the cows of Wisconsin into a river.
Kerry told the town hall that voters shouldn’t be wary of changing horses midstream when the horse is drowning. Kerry also poked fun at reports that the Bush campaign insisted that the debate podiums be set relatively far apart so Kerry’s five-inch height advantage won’t be so apparent.
“May I also suggest that we need a taller horse?” he said. “You can get through deeper waters that way.”
John “great sense of the land” Kerry – unaware that horses can swim.

They swim even better when the scrape off the dude on their back who is interfering.
(Funny, I can see Bush actually getting chummy with farmers, riding horses, and getting holsteins to do his bidding. The only way I can picture Kerry near horses is wearing a red jacket, jodhpurs, and the black riding helmet…running after his horse as the hounds close in on him.)
Ditto, Fred. I AM a “small, family farmer” and Kerry’s statement is positively gag-making. “I have a great sense of the land.” What the HELL does that mean? I’ve never heard a real, like ya-know, farmer, say anything like that.
