It's Too Late, Baby, now, it's too late.......NOT!....Carole King on CSPAN

[buycitgo]

she's speaking from a parlor from Indianola, Iowa

Very eloquent

and it's NOT too late

Kerry campaigner, btw.

speaking on veterans' issues at the moment

tells vet, "you don't look old enough to be in the Korean War"

questioner asks her if she thinks westerners aren't as gungho on the environment as in other sectors.

she says it's not a matter of jobs vs. the environment: jobs vs. OTHER kinds of jobs......says NOBODY wants to go rafting through clearcut areas

says timber companies have the money for the PR to create false divisions......"It's tough because we're competing with the NOISE of the corporate message"

good for her!

1. Agreed. Carole King is --

-- a serene, wise soul. May she thrive a long time.

[buycitgo]

2. ha! she just sang a line from.........PINK! get this party started!

now she's playing piano, singing "you've got a friend"

voice is a bit strained, but it's choking me up.

crowd inside is singing.....even the oldsters

she's going to sign albums that people have brought


seems very nice, sweet, unaffected.

contrast that with Laura, zone and stoned.

does she EVER mingle with anyone other than K-9ers?

3. At least she never pimped any of her songs for a Heinz ketchup

commercial like her identical twin,floozy Carly Simon....http://www.inthe70s.com/generated/commercialmusic.shtml click on music from commercials

5. Wasn't that Carly Simon? n/t

7. oops never could tell the difference.

4. Better Kerry IMO than Dean/Clark

I won't be too disappointed if Kerry beats my candidate in Iowa. This is despite the fact that Kerry is a freetrader. I just like the guy. He's very...diplomatic? He just looks like someone who would handle foreign policy well.

[blm]

8. LOL...he should, he grew up overseas

and his father was a diplomat. He speaks 4 languages.

He worked with other world leaders for 10 yrs.to craft the Kyoto Protocol.

He worked to normalize relations with Vietnam.

He worked to negotiate a peaceful transition for Corazon Aquino in the Phillipines.

He negotiated peaceful end to Cambodian conflict.

He helped to end three wars - Vietnam, Iran-Iraq, Central America.

Kerry's investigations into BCCI and IranContra exposed the illegal arms trading and when the arms trading ended the Iran-Iraq war ended soon after.

His investigations into the covert actions in Central America forced Reagan-Bush to end their illegal policies there.

9. Which languages does he speak

I think he would be the best in a debate against Bush. Clark is too weak. Dean says stupid things and stutters. Gephardt is boring. Edwards is Gore-ish.

Who agrees with me that only Kerry would really be able to kick the shit out of Bush in the debates?
