Kerry Implied He Had Developed Asthma Since He Began Living In Washington, DC And Had Started Using An Inhaler As A Result. “Kerry’s speech was preceded by a roundtable discussion in which 14 Roxbury residents and area political activists discussed a variety of health problems they attributed to the concentration of pollution sources in their neighborhood. Klare Allen of Roxbury held up a map showing that eight of the city’s nine trash-transfer stations are in the neighborhood. Many of the parents and some of the children in the group complained of asthma. ‘Until I went to Washington, I had never had asthma in my life,’ Kerry said in response. He said pollution in the city has prompted him to use an inhaler like those used by some of Roxbury residents.” (Glen Johnson, “Kerry May Make GOP Wealth A Campaign Issue,” The Boston Globe, 4/23/03)
Kerry Later Explained The Inhaler Was For Common Springtime Allergies And He Hadn’t “Used It In Months.” “In an interview afterward, Kerry clarified his remark by explaining that he used an Albuterol inhaler for common springtime allergies, but his condition is not serious enough to limit his physical activity. ‘I rarely use it; I haven’t used it in months,’ he said.” (Glen Johnson, “Kerry May Make GOP Wealth A Campaign Issue,” The Boston Globe, 4/23/03)
Thanks this was what Rush was talking about. Kerry as usual lied and said that he had asthma. Then when Rush and other asked about his medical condition, he did a kerriflop and changed his story. Thanks this was what I had heard and had forgotten"
