Sen. Intel Chief Calls on Kerry to Release Records
Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts called on Sen. John Kerry to release his Intelligence Committee attendance records on Sunday - as controversy swirled over claims that the top Democrat was mostly a no-show during important hearings.
"The easiest way out of this is for John Kerry and John Edwards to request [Committee Vice Chairman] Sen. Rockefeller and myself to release the attendance [records]," Roberts told NBC's "Meet the Press." Roberts urged that any Kerry record release should cover "not only of the public hearings, which they have rebutted, but the closed hearings," adding, "It is important, because you have to be in attendance to learn the job."
The Kerry campaign has acknowledged that the Massachusetts Democrat missed scores of public hearings, but insisted he attended "private" sessions and is a "hard-working" member of the Intelligence Committee.
Asked if the "hard-working" description was accurate, Sen. Roberts declined to back Kerry up.
"Well, 'hard-working member' is in the eyes of the beholder," he told "Meet the Press."
A Bush Cheney campaign commercial set to debut on Monday accuses Kerry of being absent for 76 percent of the Intelligence Committee's hearings, noting that he was completely AWOL for the entire year after the 9/11 attacks.
"That same year," the ad says, "Sen. Kerry proposed slashing the intelligence budget by $6 billion."
House Intelligence Committee Chairman Jane Harman, who appeared on "Meet the Press" with Roberts, said she couldn't defend Kerry's Intelligence Committee attendance record.
"I don't know what the facts are and I really can't speak to that," she explained.
Perhaps F'n has Borderline Personality Disorder.
I e-mailed them twice over 7 hours ago.I guess they really aren't worried about fact checking.I have pretty much quit opening threads that source them.They are just not very reliable and prone to exageration.
" Perhaps F'n has Borderline Personality Disorder."
IMHO-He has more than a borderline disorder.
Substitute the name of George Bush and the media would have him in an institution by now.
Sleepwalking,banging on the walls and screaming in the middle of the night,
in the fetal position for a week end at least,
completely fabricating your military history,
not knowing your ethnicity,
flip flopping on every issue
and constantly lying- say to me that John Kerry has major psychological problems.
I am appalled that the MSM has turned a blind eye to Kerry's mental problems.
**Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Pat Roberts called on Sen. John Kerry to release his Intelligence Committee attendance records on Sunday**
And we want to see all of your military records too! (Including the good, the bad, and the ugly.)
Any time a photo comes up where I can see John Kerry's hands, I get the heebie-jeebies. Why does he allow his nails to be so long? No wonder he can't throw a football.
That's terrific!
I'm not a letter writer, but this needs our collective efforts.
Each and every stop, until the noise is deafening!
HEY! HEY!
HO! HO!
Kerry sign the
FORM ONE EIGHT OH!
And what better spokeman for that would there be than M. Kerry, oui?
