Goddam crybabies.
Mark Racicot is whining that John Kerry should apologize for calling Republicans 'crooked' and 'lying.' Racicot and the GOP are shocked, shocked, that anyone - let alone the opposition presidential candidate - would speak of the administraion in less than glowing, deferential and loving terms.
Yo, Racicot - I'll put this in terms you'll understand - get over it.
Kerry's campaign has released a statement: "We are going to make it very clear that he's a Democrat who punches back."
Good for him. Republicans were all okay when their candidate called a reporter a 'major-league asshole' into an open mic in the last campaign. They set the boundaries, and they should just shut the fuck up, quit whining, and deal with the fact that they're up against a Democrat who is going to call them on their shit. And to Kerry's credit, he shows no sign of backing off from what he said.
Whoever in the Kerry campaign who came up with the idea to leave his mic open for those remarks should get a raise. And yes, I do think they did it on purpose.

i caught racicot on tv last night. he was practically frothing at the freakin' mouth. i think they have go long and hard on the outrage and indignation thing. it keeps people from thinking about the fact that what kerry said was, for all intents and purposes, demonstrably true.
when you've got the law, bang the law.
when you've got the facts, bang the facts.
when you've got neither, bang the table.

Kerry definately has some balls. About time someone stood up to these crooks. I was undecided on my vote, but now I will support him all the way, was hoping for Dean, but the press killed him.

lying and crooked are practically compliments when you consider the real words he should be using: murderer, traitor, deserter, terrorist, tyrant, theif, oh yeah, and he's also a crooked liar...

If they want to continue crying about Kerry's comments we should remind them of what our pResident Shrub once said about being a dictator.
Click on my name for the link to his quotes.
Here it is if you don't want to click through:
"I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don't agree with each other, but that's OK. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I'm the dictator," Bush joked.

Kerry and Dean, All Forgiven, Join to Unseat a Common Foe: "Mr. Kerry did not take questions from reporters but David Wade, his spokesman, said the senator was referring to what he called the 'Republican attack machine,' not to the Bush administration."
It's still pretty good but kind of letting them off the hook...

Rude Pundit eviscerates this attack on his blog today. He's fast becoming my favorite comedy blog.

From WaPo:
"If you ask me, he's getting off on the wrong foot in this campaign by name-calling," House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., told reporters as he and other GOP leaders met in his office Thursday. "We're not lying when we start saying that Senator Kerry is the old-time Democrat of tax and spend."
Rep. Jack Kingston, R-Ga., said, "We see John Kerry as Ted Kennedy on a South Beach diet."
Short version: "Owwww! Mommy, mommy, the big bad boy called me NAMES! WAAAAAAAA!"

Coming from Racicot, considering his lies and crookedness in the 2000 Florida episode, and his lies about Bush on NPR a couple of weeks ago--"Bush volunteered for Vietnam"--his complaint rings a bit hollow, don't you think? Racicot is one of the more accomplished liars in the whole crew.
