Thanks for posting this. I was curious about it. Unfortunately on my computer I can't tell much, but just a bit after the one minute mark, there is a fuzzy image of a person walking alone down the capitol steps. It looks like Kerry, but it's hard for me to say.
bump for later viewing...
Is there a point to this?
Looking after # 1, Huh?
This jackass walked down the steps alone.
"This is very close to a bunny pancake thread, unless you start telling us the point of all this..."
John Kerry criticized President Bush for reading to the children on the morning of September 11. Kerry implied Bush was a coward frozen with fear. In this video is a shot of Kerry running down the steps of the capital like a girly-man on the morning of September 11.
I don't have Real Player, and won't get it, but it took him 40 minutes to even think about it
I thought he was in a meeting with other dems and they all just sat there for 40-45 minutes before the Capitol police came and told them to leave.
Well, did he walk out with Senator McCain, or was this just another resume embellishment?
Is he wearing a bandolier?.....sarcasm, of course.
Kerry meandering down the steps while others are fleeing. Some people helping others and John Boy takin'in the sights.
No bunny needed here, besides John Boy likes waffles not pancakes.
Great one.
... and that is after spending 45 minutes in Daschle's office w/ Tommy, Nancy Pelosi and others, "stunned, unable to think or comment"(accdg to his talk w/ Larry King)...
CNN LARRY KING LIVE Senator John Edwards and Elizabeth Edwards Aired July 21, 2004 - 21:00 ETJ. EDWARDS: What happened with me, Larry, is I dropped Emma Claire, my now 6-year-old daughter, off at school. I was on my way to -- in fact, I was just beside the Capitol on my way to the Senate office building when I received a call on my -- on my cell phone telling me what had happened in New York.
I went on in to the -- to my Senate office building. Then we saw the second plane hit, and, of course, the strike on the Pentagon. I left the Capitol, because I was worried about my family. I left the Capitol, went home. I was there for a period of time.
And, actually, after I was there for a fairly short period of time, the Capitol Police came to my home, knocked on the door, and said that they were gathering up senators to take us to a -- to a safe or secure location. And I said, "Well, what about my wife and my kids?" And they said, "Well, they'll stay here."
And I said, "Well, if they're staying here, I'm saying here." So...
KING: You didn't go.
J. EDWARDS: I did not go.
Doesn't say he went to pick up his daughter that he mentions dropping off. In a time of crisis, John Edwards went home instead of staying on the job. This is leadership? HE should be a heartbeat away from the Presidency?
The video was discussed on another thread today. Its from a BBC program, and shows Kerry coming out of the Capitol on 9/11 amidst the chaos. He looks around, supposedly shrugs his arms/shoulders/head(?), and flees, while the other humans are busy helping the elderly and handicapped, children, etc. According to the reports from earlier it shows the "war hero" in a very bad light. He wasn't a candidate of course at that time - a camera operator just happened to get him coming out and fleeing from the scene.
I can't stand Kerry, but he didn't really seem to be fleeing in fear.
ping
Just goes to show that (Kerry) he can run but he can't hide! After Kerry spent 40 minutes or so in stunned disbelief not able to think clearly while watching the events of 9-11 unfold on Tom Daschle's TV, he is caught on film running down the steps of the Capitol after the evacuation order was given by the administration.
John Kerry had his own film crew in Vietnam. John Kerry had his own photographer at the Reagan memorial service in California.
Why would it be surprising that he would tell a staffer to shoot video of him remaining "calm" in a time of crisis when everyone around him is panicking?
Regardless of what Kerry said he did, this argument will NEVER succeed. Why? Because Bush was the president of the United States and Kerry was just a senator. Kerry can criticize Bush for what he did or did not do that day and we can turn around and say "Well, Senator Kerry, look what you were doing during that same time. Nothing much more than what Bush was doing." But Bush was the president and he was leading a country. Kerry was not. That will be the counterargument that will come from the other side every time. This is why the Bush Campaign has not seized on this.
