"The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin. When all is orderly, he does not forget that disorder may come. Thus his person is not endangered, and his States and all their clans are preserved." -- Confucius

The Kerry Girls Get a Warm Reception at the MTV M/V Awards... Kinda

THE BOOS THAT ROCKED THE VOTE: KERRY DAUGHTERS RECEIVE RUDE AWAKENING AT MTV AWARDS

Drudge Report -- MTV, ROLLING STONE and the rock and roll establishment -- past and present -- have cast their vote, and their man is John Kerry.

So on Sunday night when John Kerry's daughters were announced to speak at the annual MTV VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS, the MTV youth were expected to welcome his daughter's as pop culture princesses.

Instead, in an era of the unexpected, the daughters of the Democratic candidate were met with cheers -- AND JEERS -- during the live broadcast in Miami.

From the moment Alexandra and Vanessa started speaking, the boos outweighed anything close to cheers, and the reaction turned worse when the daughters asked the VIACOM youth to vote for their father. So shocked by the reaction, the taller of the two daughters tried to 'shhhhhh' her peers to no avail.

First off, I don't support people giving Kerry's daughters a hard time any more than I support the smacked-asses who kept nigh-constant tabs [no pun] on the Bush twins' drinking habits. It's the candidate, not their kids that are running.

Secondly, and more to the point, WTF is going on when the daughters of some left-wing wonk, let alone one running for president in an election only a couple months away get boo'd at a MTV event, any MTV event?

Verrry interes'tink.
