This story appears on Yahoo! News a about ten minutes ago. It reports on the great John Kerry's speech in the PAST tense --- TWO HOURS IN ADVANCE! The American Fourth Estate is AMAZING!!! They don't even bother going to the event, they just write a story. ANY old story! AP forecasts the future! And gets in a heaping helping of much trouble Bush's campaign is in at the same time!!! Wow, our intrepid reporters are the BEST!!!

It's a boring speech. Espo probably wants to go the bar after reading it.

Former Sen. Max Cleland of Georgia, who lost three limbs while serving in Vietnam, drew the assignment of introducing Kerry.

I can see it now. "Last one up the hill has to introduce Sen. Kerry!"

On O'Reilly I think Newt G. said last night Edwards said "Hope is on the way" and tonight Kerry was going to say "Help is on it's way".. I've heard that slogan somewhere before.

Didn't Reagan say "We win they lose."???

No one can put everyone out of their collective misery soon enough, as far as I'm concerned.

Parts of his speech were being referenced at 4:00pm thisafternoon. Comment on the quality of the speech was also offered. I too found that a bit amazing.

"Last one up the hill has to introduce Sen. Kerry!" LOL!

A day before the election they can post an article about President Bush being re-elected...

I'm assuming a copy of Kerry's speech and the evening's itinerary (balloon drops, etc.) was made available to media outlets with early deadlines. This allows the AP to feed the story to smaller daily newspapers that generally have early evening press runs. I don't think it's anything to get worked up over.

To know John Kerry is to despise him. He is a liar, a cheat and he stabbed his brothers in the back. His miserable record in the Senate belies everything he says in this speech.

Yup.

I did a search and this is what I came up with.

Copyright 2000 Sarasota Herald-Tribune Co. Sarasota Herald-Tribune (Florida)

August 31, 2000, Thursday, ALL EDITIONS

The amount of half-truths, distortions, fabrications and falsehoods used in their campaign is huge. Even the polls are suspect. Not only because, for instance, two polls taken at the same time show a 3 percent gap and a 16 percent gap between the two parties, but also because it is inconceivable that so many voters would succumb to the high-pressure propaganda used by the Republicans.

Included in that propaganda are the most absurd and nonsensical slogans which are really an insult to the intelligence of the American voter. One of their speech writers came up with "Don't worry, help is on the way." Dick Cheney repeated, "They've (the Democrats) got to go."

My thoughts: I wonder if they think it is propoganda when the dems use it.

Copyright 2001 News World Communications, Inc. The Washington Times

February 13, 2001, Tuesday, Final Edition

SECTION: PART A; COMMENTARY; OP-ED; Pg. A17

Mr. Bush would indeed be seeking money for a pay raise for people in uniform as well as for some other quality of life improvements. But as for a rapid, major infusion of new emergency cash, no soap. Hawks on Capitol Hill and outside were vexed. The Bush-Cheney ticket campaigned on military spending increases, after all, having pointed a finger at the deleterious consequences of defense spending reductions during the post-Cold War drawdown. Help was "on the way," Dick Cheney said.

O'Reilly says he has an embargoed copy.

You think Drudge will post it?

LOL!

I guess I can just keep on watching 'Shark Week' on Discovery.

I really hope there is a technical snafu or anything that will 'change the future'. ;-)

What's he going to do wait until we are attacked again? Bill O is hinting his speech is just a rehash of his campaign trail crap.

In further news, Kerry lost the election in a landslide.
