MTP - Tim is trying to attack Zell for his various stands.

Zell keeps turning the responses around and indicting John Kerry.

Zell keeps getting one-up on Tim's attempts to discredit Zell.

[kabar]

Wallace should turn Kerry's words about Vietnam against him, i.e., How do you tell the last man to die for a mistake? Is Iraq a mistake, Mr. Kerry.

[COBOL2Java]

Yep, this appears to be the new Kerry spin: Bush has been AWOL on domestic security for 3 years...

[The Wizard]

kerry is being shoved out by john-boy

[Right_in_Virginia]

How is he allowed to lie like this unchallenged?

[Bahbah]

Zell says it's as if Kerry has been in a witness protection program for his 20 years in the Senate.

[mystery-ak]

...then Wallace should ask Kerry how many attacks has happened in the US since 9-11?

[Carolinamom]

Kerry's too busy to work ... he's been working on his hair, hugging Pretty Boy, having photo-ops, and looking in the mirror.

[upchuck]

Edwards: "Americans want to know what we're gonna do for America."

Kerry: "I'm not going to tell you what I'm going to do until after I'm elected."

[TomGuy]

When Wallace asked him to be specific, Kerry said something like "I'm not going to go into details until after the election." God what a piece of work.

Other posts have indicated Kerry saying that before today, too.

That soundbite should top every news/talk tomorrow.

"I'm not going to go into details until after the election." would rank right up there with "I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it."

[kabar]

Wasn't a Navy tour 10 months?

I presume you are talking about Vietnam. A normal tour was 12 months in Vietnam, the Marines had 13 months. A normal tour of duty on a ship was two years. Tours vary depending on the duty station.

[upchuck]

Ping!

[Right_in_Virginia]

"We have a big idea...." What the heck is it?

[The Wizard]

I must say,Chris Wallace has been very good today.....

[COBOL2Java]

Uh oh. Nuance Boy is showing his stripes. Wallace asked him about saying "The President misled us on the reasong for going to war." Kerry said "No, Chris I never said that!" Wallace then showed him where he said it and Kerry responded "Yes, I said that, but you were referring to my speech. I never said that in my speech. I said 'I will never mislead you'".

Need a new photoshop for "Nuance Boy".

[rodguy911]

Thanks for the thread and good morning Babylon.

[Right_in_Virginia]

Why the heck doesn't Wallace ask Kerry what his "real plan" is?????

[Mr Rogers]

Thanks for the details - I was relying off of memories, and they aren't always correct.

My wife, on the other hand, has perfect memory...as she reminds me regularly!

;>)

[The Wizard]

IMHO Kerry didn't help his cause today.....

[EllaMinnow]

Kerry is very dour this morning. This appearance won't help him. He cracks a smile whenever Edwards guffaws.

IMHO, they are both caricatures of themselves this morning.
