2. John Kerry is described as a "liberal weiner."

Kerry is criticized for his lack of demeanor. Some comedians have called Kerry a "horseface."

"I'm a great crusader, you're a Herman Munster."
4. What math problem is seen on the blackboard when Kerry sings his first verse?

Answer: 9+3=14

Both went to Ivy League schools, but Bush is accused of nepotism by being accepted to Yale thanks to his father. Kerry also calls Bush a "right wing nutjob" and "dumb as a doorknob."
5. How many Vietnamese are blown up when Kerry throws his grenade?

Answer: 2

Kerry served in Vietnam, but some veterans are saying Kerry's anti-war history shows him underserving of being President. Kerry often counters with questions of why Bush didn't go and questions his own record.

Answer: True

Bush is explaining how Kerry often changes his positions on issues like affirmative action, taxes, and even the war.

Bush offered Americans a small tax cut during his administration. Some say tax cuts are wrong during times of uncertainty.

Again with the lack of intelligence thing. Bush speeches have become late night fodder. "Nuclear" is often mispronounced as "nu-kyu-ler."

Answer: Donald Rumsfeld and Howard Dean

At the end of Kerry's second verse, Howard Dean is seen screaming, reminiscent of the Iowa caucus where Dean made that speech. You know: "We're gonna win (place state here) and then we're gonna take back the White House! YEAH! YEAH!"
11. What five words are seen under the word "Botox?"

Answer: Not Just For Old Ladies
