KERRY BLAME GAME

They must not have read the 9/11 report.

Maybe the Navy investigation of his medals will jumpstart his campaign.

No, sKerry's against that too. Especially since it's gonna go on "during wartime" and is a "waste of Pentagon resources and time".

The parts in quotes are from the sKerry Campaign. I noted that in the campaigns statement about the Navy Department's investigation sKerry and his pit of vipers he calls a campaign staff never said that the Navy shouldn't because there's no truth to the allegations.

Once again, Team Kerry is taking a serious misstep. They should welcome the investigation and agree to cooperate fully with it. Instead, they make themselves look guilty by criticizing it and charging that it's a waste of taxpayer money.

[Verginius Rufus]

Susan Estrich blamed. Donna Brazile blamed. Mary Beth Cahill blamed.

The French have an expression for this which Kerry would understand: cherchez la femme.

[InvisibleChurch]

expect for Hillary! to have similar problems when she runs for office in '08. she and kerry have campaigned in states where only a boob could have lost running as a liberal... they have no experience running a hard campaign, especially with people who disagree with them (arf arf arf!)

[Dems_R_Losers]

Pretty nice contrast with the Bush campaign quietly bringing back Karen Hughes! And Peggy Noonan VOLUNTEERING to leave her paid job at the WSJ to work for President Bush! (Ahem, are you listening Begala?) It's pretty obvoius which candidate REALLY values women.

LOLOLOLOLOL

He's over the deep end, isn't he? I mean, really, to revive Dean's 'he knew' stuff is the stuff of idiocy.

He's afraid to show his head in a one on one with journalists, 'cause the SBVT are marksmen the likes of which he hasn't seen.

Mark my words, when this guy loses he will give a vituperative concession speech the likes of which History has never seen.

I want this guy fully pulverized, nobody deserves a world-class evisercation more than he does. Nobody!

[Constantine XIII]

Sad thing for MBC is that she and ol' what-his-name were right, if scary Kerry had just ignored the SBVs, the media would have just written them off as a bunch of cranks. It was his little hissy fit outburst against them that made people look up and pay attention to what the vets had to say.

LOL, that guy is such a goober.

Actually, she did work on Bush the elder's campaign staff, as Ozzymandus said in his post. She currently works for the VP.

In 1992, President Bush named her the deputy campaign manager for political operations. As deputy campaign manager, she was responsible for the overview and organization of all 50 state operations. As the on-board planner who traveled with President Bush throughout the 1992 campaign, she emerged as the vocal, and occasionally controversial, defender of the president and his policies.

Maybe I wasn't clear. I meant she was not part of this current campaign in any official capacity.

I couldn't care less what she did 14 years ago. It doesn't pertain to this election or this article which is what we were discussing.

I didn't doubt her involvment in the elder Bush's campaign.

She's not in a powerful position to "ruin this one". I thought our discussion was regarding the present.

I apologize if I misunderstood the topic at hand.

[ozzymandus]

You seem a little hypersensitive about Mary Matalin. If it was my call, I wouldn't let anybody married to a RAT operative like Carville anywhere near my campaign.

[texasflower]

No. I don't care one way or the other about Mary Matalin.

My problem is with people who think they know better than the President or Vice President about what's best.

In all these years can you think of one single time Mary Matalin has betrayed the repubicans?

I can't. But that doesn't really matter. What matters is that Cheney trusts her and I trust him.

Freepers who are convinced they know better than the people involved get on my nerves.

Like the person who put up a vanity the other day saying that Bush didn't say the right things and then proceeded to rewrite the speech.

Saying that Bush should have done this or said that.

To me second guessing the people that our President and Vice President chose to trust is stupid.

Kerry took yesterday off instead of going on a Sunday TV show to jumpstart his campaign.

I keep screeching about the number of days this guy takes off.

IF Bush, or any other pubbie took this many days off the campaign trail, the press would have a field day with it.

As it is, they are SILENT as they run up their expense accounts while hanging out in Nantucket, or whichever other luxury location kerry happens to infest, oops, inhabit.
