Kerry Campaign Explains Bob Kerrey Mixup

AP - 1 hour, 16 minutes ago

John Kerry, Bob Kerrey. It's easy to get confused. At least that's how the Kerry campaign is explaining claims that Kerry — the Democratic presidential candidate — served as vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Oops. Make that Bob Kerrey — the former Democratic senator from Nebraska who did serve as the panel's vice chairman.

(snip) It's difficult to take John Kerry's claims about his intelligence experience seriously when one of his credentials is completely made up," said Republican National Committee (news - web sites) spokeswoman Christine Iverson. "If he had shown up for Intelligence Committee hearings he would notice he wasn't vice chairman."

[MamaLucci]

Try for a moment to imagine that Kerry was a GOP candidate for president..........and what the press would be doing to him over this, Cambodia, SBVFT, etc.

[Jeff Head]

I was the Committee Chairman during the time that I was not the Committee Chairman.

[Southack]

Boom!

[doug from upland]

Come over here and enjoy some good Kerry mocking -- CLICK.

[BushisTheMan]

vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence before he wasn't vice chairman

Flip flop flip flop flip flop flip flop

[ride the whirlwind]

If he was GOP, they'd have sliced and diced him mercilessly by now.

[goodnesswins]

Kerry would have been forced to withdraw by now...if he were a GOP candidate.....The DEMS however, push the envelope of ludicrous and the PRESS helps them along as if it were normal.

[MamaLucci]

Thanks for the link.......lol!

[Gator113]

I am so glad that Kerry's minions have cleared this up. Heck, I was starting to think that Kerry and company had lied.

Everyone knows how easy it is to mix the names Bob and John up..heck, they sound alike and they both have the letter"o" in them.

[Petronski]

Christine Iverson nailed this one, LOL.

Paraphrasing:

If Kerry had shown up for hearings, he'd know he was never vice chairman.

FOFLOL

[MadelineZapeezda]

"If he had shown up for Intelligence Committee hearings he would notice he wasn't vice chairman."

Priceless bump!

[MamaLucci]

If this election weren't so deadly serious, this would be
kinda laughable.................in a pathetic sort of a way.

[McBuff]

I believe it should be. .. he was Bob Kerrey before he wasn't Bob Kerrey.

[blackdog]

Like Ted the swimmer claiming he was president.........

[what's up]

Has it been removed from the website yet?

[Dog]

"If he had shown up for Intelligence Committee hearings he would notice he wasn't vice chairman."

Oooooooooooo that left a bruise...

[MamaLucci]

Oh, yeah..........Christine Iverson is good....REAL good.

[kingattax]

so..we could easily say...

Pres Bob Kerrey....whats the difference ?


what a pack of goobers the ketchup boy campaign is..

NO truth at all

[Peach]

Truth is to Democrats what krypotonite is to Superman. They cannot exist in the same room.

[GarnetGirl04]

Good grief!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I know Kerry had a lackluster Senate career, but when even your STAFF doesn't remember what you did, that's poor.

[Rakkasan1]

DNC also recanting that he starred in the movies Glitter and The Mask...

[MamaLucci]

At this point, it is pathological.

[TomGuy]

This is not the first time that the Kerry campaign has credited John Kerry with accomplishments of Bob KerrEy.

See my comment

#51 - John Kerry claimed credit for casting the deciding vote on Clinton's Jobs Bill
but Bob KerrEy was the one who cast the deciding vote.


As Teddy said: "Lie after lie after lie after lie..."

[Dog]

New tagline..

[Jeff Head]

John-Bob Kerry? Johnny-Bob Kerry, Bobby-John Kerr?

[petitfour]

Well, that bears repeating:

If Kerry had shown up for hearings, he'd know he was never vice chairman.

[YankeeMagic]

I know what you mean...are they all alseep at the wheel at Kerry headquarters:)

[MamaLucci]

I don't know..........it would creep me out to go there.....

[noodler]

They just keep stacking this stuff.

[Dog]

Want a chuckle..

[RJS1950]

Scumbags put the Kerry/Kerrey "mistake" out banking on the ignorance of the voting public and hoping they would not be called on it. It's probably driving them nuts that the GOP is not rolling over for the RAT lying machine this time around.

[MamaLucci]

DNC also recanting that he starred in the movies Glitter and The Mask...

LOL!

[Dahoser]

If he was GOP, they'd have sliced and diced him mercilessly by now.

Yeah, sliced and diced like a 12 year old potatoe.

[Peach]

LOL! Wish I could claim credit; someone else said it elsewhere.

[MamaLucci]

Of course, you are correct. The scary part is, they can count on the press to NOT report the truth.

[Peach]

Love the tagline...

[Southack]

"However, according to the Senate Historical Office, Kerry never had the seniority to hold a leadership position on the committee..."

Not very qualified for the Presidency then, eh?!

Oh, and this marks the first *official* cracks in the news media's monolithic pro-Kerry wall.

Expect more to follow...

[gov_bean_ counter]

In my dreams...

Before the first debate actually begins and after the two candidates are announced, Bush walks in Kerry's direction, reaches into his coat pocket, pulls out then tosses Kerry a pair of flipflop and says "Here, catch".

[Ohioan from Florida]

The following is posted later in that article. I found the statement by McAuliffe in the fifth paragraph to be quite two-faced.

Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) chairman Terry McAuliffe wants to know why Republicans won't release a full list of delegate names to the upcoming GOP convention in New York.

The Republican National Committee has said it will leave it up to states to decide whether to publicize delegates' identities, citing security reasons and confidentiality.

As an example, Gillespie two weeks ago pointed to Web sites that invited protesters to "show them the kind of welcome they can expect in New York."

The DNC released a full list of its convention delegates weeks before its convention in Boston in late July, McAuliffe said.

"What do they have to hide?" McAuliffe asked. "These are the people who will ratify the Republican Party platform, and the American people have the right to know who they are. Republicans can't have it both ways."

McAuliffe's response came a day after GOP convention organizers said 15 percent of their delegates were military veterans. Not releasing a full delegate list prevents the public from substantiating such claims, he said.

"If he had shown up for Intelligence Committee hearings he would notice he wasn't vice chairman."

Keeeeee-yaaaaack yack yack yack!

[GovernmentShrinker]

Off-topic, but if my parents had named me "Lolita", I sure as h*!! would have changed it before I started getting bylines on AP!

[MadelineZapeezda]

Pres Bob Kerrey....whats the difference ?

That's right, Bob is the other self admitted war criminal, his words not mine! Isn't this one of the reasons he quit his campaign.

[MamaLucci]

Yeah, sliced and diced like a 12 year old potatoe.

Yep, now THAT was a scandal.

[Phsstpok]

Flip flop flip flop flip flop flip flop

Isn't that the sound a dying fish makes? Oh yeah. Forgot.

GAAAAASSSSSPPPP

[MamaLucci]

Yeah, but it's still better than Nedra Pickler.;)

[Mo1]

John Kerry, Bob Kerrey. It's easy to get confused. At least that's how the Kerry campaign is explaining claims that Kerry — the Democratic presidential candidate — served as vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence

John Kerry is confused on what his name is???

HAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA ... KEEP TALKING LIBS .. I am FOFL!!!

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

All dem Kerr(e)ys look alike.

[Steven W.]

You've got to assemble and publish the list you're accumulating - it's very damning!

[GreenHornet]

The Kerry Campaign has also had to issue the following retractions from their campaign headquarters during the past few days:

"Further research has revealed that it was Chuck Berry, and not John Kerry, who recorded Johnny B. Goode".

"We regret the erroneous press release stating that it was John Kerry, when in fact it was Gaylord Perry, who was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1991".

"We apologize for implying that it was John Kerry, rather than Deborah Harry, who was the lead singer for Blondie".
