WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In response to today's outrageous attacks on John Kerry's service by Karl Rove, former Georgia Senator Max Cleland and former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey made the following statements
Senator Max Cleland:
"Karl Rove was behind it all, it's part of his smear campaign to tarnish to tarnish the records and service of Vietnam Veterans, and now he's doing it again. I find it interesting that three different people have had to resign from basically the Bush Campaign and their official duties because of this ad, because they are all tied together."
Senator Bob Kerrey:
"If the question is whether or not there is any independence left between the campaign and these swift boat ads, that question has now been answered. Karl Rove has been in enough political campaigns to understand how separate you need to be from these independent efforts and he just ended that separation. If Ginsberg resigned, so should he."
(At link litany of old accusations follow)
Four words. STFU
F8ck you Kerrey...
I guess this is the Kerry campaign's disassembling stage..
Did Rove actually say anything, or do these whiners just need something to whine about?
Was Sen Kerrey the one who admitted he committed war crimes and had to relinguish his run for the Presidency ?
Why is it that everyone named "Kerry/Kerrey" is such a clymer?
When did they ever need a reason to whine?
This may have caught their attention:

Pathetic.
Bob Kerrey makes me sick. He knows full well the GOP campaign has not impugned Cleland's service.
I used to consider Kerrey one of my favorite Democrats, considering his military service.
Now I see him as a pathetic shrill for the Democrat left.
This is fun! Who knew that "calling for" peoples' resignations willy-nilly would make someone's utterance instantaneously newsworthy?
Well you see the other side only believes in FREE SPEECH when it is THEIR SIDE talking, when it serves their purpose. They want to SILENCE the opposition. I guess the campaign finance bill didn't quite silence everyone on OUR side. They sure tried, though. I think that if they can't stand the TRUTH being thrown in their faces maybe they truly are girly men and they don't belong in politics! What WHINERS~
They don't have a leg to stand on.
I like it. I can think of a LOT of resignations I would call for... Terry McAwful comes to mind.
"Did Rove actually say anything,"
He said something today about Kerry's post-war protests.
But they have been wanting to frame him for a long time. He's the bogeyman for inside-the-beltway-type Democrat apparatchiks. Kind of like "Halliburton!" or "Neocons!"
From what I can tell he, and the admin, didn't want Vietnam to come up, but it seems to have fallen "their" way due to Kerry's own hubris and vanity.
SHADDAP and put some ice on it.
