I sure hope he know something we don't -
Perhaps she hit him before he had gotten the facts - a wise man will hold an answer until certain of such - There is a time and place for everything -
just my thoughts - Mrs. Bush was ever so right about the media - and what they can and will do during an election -
he knows that no matter what he says, it will be spun the way MSM wants it spun. he (or his surrogates) will speak at the right time, IMO.
Kerry declined to comment.
Does that mean that she yelled the question at him along with every other reporter there and he didn't answer her?
Anything Bush says is pulled apart, dissected and taken out of context...I think it is wise he lets someone else in his campaign handle these and the rest of the accusations that are coming....they are truly desperate...but America is tired of this...and the media bias is now very transparent...
By the way, I lean toward the genius theory. They probably have internal polling that shows this crap is suffocating Kerry's message and they don't intend to give him any oxygen.
I doubt that many undecideds are voting early...
Rush Limbaugh did a job on the New York Slimes, PMSNBC, NBC and best of all the phony Irishman Kerry. This guy Kerry is out of the same mold as Madam Albright.
I have suspected that Rove had an "October Surprise" for some time; and based on what he learned in 2000, it will NOT come out until Fri. or Sat., when it is too late for Francois to refute it. I have no inside knowledge, just a hunch. Don't know if this is part of it or not.
You hit the nail on the head! Why speak directly to the MSM that just put a knife in your back.
In silence it implies: You stepped in dog poop. Don't come to me. Clean up your own mess.
Ed Gillespie is all over this. I just received this email:

It's October, but it's no surprise. Remember last week, when I highlighted a quote by Newsweek editor Evan Thomas that the media's desire to see John Kerry elected may be worth five-to-twenty million votes, and urged you to be on the look-out for evidence of that desire in articles and news programs?
Well, yesterday the front page of New York Times featured a flawed article asserting, "The Iraqi interim government has warned the United States and international nuclear inspectors that nearly 380 tons of powerful conventional explosives -- used to demolish buildings, make missile warheads and detonate nuclear weapons -- are missing from one of Iraq's most sensitive former military installations. The huge facility, called Al Qaqaa, was supposed to be under American military control but is now a no man's land, still picked over by looters as recently as Sunday."
CBS News' "60 Minutes" admitted today they were saving the same story to air the Sunday before the election.
John Kerry seized on the New York Times headline to launch a political attack on President Bush, saying U.S. troops "failed to guard those stockpiles" and that is "one of the great blunders" of the war.
Senator Kerry and the New York Times leave the impression that these weapons went missing recently and U.S. troops were derilict in their duty to guard the stockpile--neither of which is true.
Network and cable news programs repeated the incomplete report and Sen. Kerry's attacks more than 100 times on Monday.
But last night NBC "Nightly News" reported that on April 10, 2003, one day after Baghdad fell, U.S. troops entered Al Qaqaa, accompanied by an embedded reporter from NBC, and found no such weapons.
It also turns out that our troops have found and destroyed or are destroying 400,000 tons of weapons and explosives.
There was no mention of either one of these facts in today's New York Times front page story, which regurgitated yesterday's charges and Senator Kerry's attacks based on them.
Liberal groups like MoveOn.org have already blasted out e-mails repeating the discredited report and urging people to vote against President Bush based on the flawed coverage.
We can not count on the media to set the story straight. We have to get the truth out to our friends and neighbors ourselves.
We are counting on YOU to set the record straight. Please forward this e-mail and the attached fact sheet to family and friends, call your local network, call talk radio, write letters to the editor, and post facts on blogs.
I suspect you'll be hearing from me again in the course of the next seven days as Mr. Thomas's prediction proves true again.
Sincerely,
Ed Gillespie
Chairman, Republican National Committee
Exactly...Strategery...
I don't know if even Kerry will try to keep going on this line of silliness.
It would be a criticism of the troops on the ground and not the President.
Although, they have already done that and don't even realize it. How is Kerry supposed to lead these people he keeps using as proof of failure?
Did he actively "decline to comment" on this particular issue - or was it a question (among others) launched at him on the trail today to which he did not respond at all??? That makes a big difference.
That F*****g B***h "Judy Woodruff"
