SO WHO'S BACKING KERRY?



Let's look at who is backing Kerry for President. Care of Ben Jonson at Frontpage.



North Korea: Although north Asia’s gulag archipelago has not formally endorsed a candidate, official Communist organs have shown a pronounced affinity for John Kerry. In March, the Financial Times noted, “John Kerry, the presumptive Democratic candidate, is also getting good play in Pyongyang.” North Korean radio has aired several of Kerry’s anti-Bush speeches, and the Korean Central News Agency has given the Democratic candidate “glowing” coverage.



Iran: A June editorial in the Tehran Times stated, “Kerry is exactly what the U.S. needs right now.”



Communist China: The state-controlled People’s Daily “news” website formally endorsed John Kerry in July.



Palestinian Authority: PA foreign minister Nabil Shaath has said in a Kerry presidency, “it would be likely that several staff members during Clinton's administration would return,” adding, “that would be a good thing.”



Spain: As early as March, Spain’s appeasenik prime minister and Socialist Party member Jose Luis Zapatero said, “I want Kerry to win.”



France: Naturally. Germany? Of course.



Mmmm...Kerry certainly does command the respect of the Axis of Evil and the Axis of weasel. I wonder WHY?
