Casey to Welcome Kerry to Philadelphia Tonight for Fundraiser
Pittsburgh - According to today's Philadelphia Inquirer, Bob Casey Jr. made the following comments about John Kerry's disparaging remarks yesterday:
"From what I can gather, Kerry botched a joke. That's what he said, and I take him at his word. He served in combat. Last time I checked, the president and the vice president did not. The White House and the Santorum forces should get to work on dealing with the real problems in Iraq. The first thing they should do is fire Mr. Rumsfeld instead of spending a lot of time trashing Democrats." (Jennifer Loven, "'04 foes exchange fire anew on troops, war, education," The Associated Press via The Philadelphia Inquirer, November 1, 2006)
Here's what John Kerry said yesterday during a speech in California, "You know, education -- if you make the most of it, you study hard and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
Vince Galko, campaign manager for Santorum 2006, "This wasn't a joke as Bob Casey contends. Casey needs to acknowledge these comments for what they were - disparaging to the honorable men and women serving in the armed services - and denounce them. We've known that Bob Casey is nothing more than a shallow mouth piece for the talking points assigned to him, but for Casey to not know that John Kerry crossed the line is deeply troubling. Bob Casey needs to rethink his comments and call on Kerry to apologize. Perhaps he can do so when John Kerry joins him for a fundraiser tonight in Philadelphia."
I only glanced Casey's biography, but I'm having trouble finding the part about him serving in combat. For that matter, he didn't even do something simplistic and uneducated during his youth, like landing fighter jets on aircraft carriers.
No more fake 'manufactured' and insecere apologies about the original INSULT--
HE NEEDS TO APOLOGIZE FOR THE LIE HE MADE UP TO GLOSS IT OVER!!!

Ahhh, that's not Bob 'the uni-brow' Casey.
Santorum should capitalize on this.
Hey GD, But....but, they are very educated, SucK_cesspool people
Yikes
We will remember this day...its the first of Rovember!!!
Casey is a thick headed and clueless, too. Now the voters know.
George w. Bush flew F-102 fighters in the National Guard. 400 hours of flight time.
He could have had a cushy desk job, but he flew one of the most difficult and dangerous fighters of the time.

Above is a citation for Hillie's comment.
My question for Hillie: What the HECK took you so long?
Like many Americans, I have zero tolerance whenever these lunatic lefties try to put down our warriors, our CIC and his staff.
How come no one ever mentioned that before?
and demand that Casey send the Kerry cash back
Hi albie!
Not all of us are among the "...fools of PA." And I am working HARD, along with many others in this state to see that Senator Santorum be reelected!
Nancee
aren't there lots and lots and lots of vets in PA?
