man, this image of john kerry as such a 'fighter' just rings completely false to me. sort of like everything else about him. but it just happened again in an AP story:
WASHINGTON (AP) - The Democratic Party launched a costly round of ads Friday to buttress John Kerry's credentials to be commander in chief as the White House accused the Massachusetts senator of "losing his cool" over attacks on his war record.
"John Kerry is a fighter and he doesn't tolerate lies from others," shot back spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter.
sure, stephanie. he just tolerates them from himself. and probably from other people in his political party. and probably other people like michael moore. and probably other people from MoveOn.Org.
cutter had some other irrelevant and sarcastic comments later in the article:
White House spokesman Scott McClellan said several times that the senator's comments showed he had lost his cool, a suggestion that Bush's rival lacked presidential temperament.
"I do think that Senator Kerry losing his cool should not be an excuse for him to lash out at the president with false and baseless attacks," the spokesman told reporters in Crawford, Texas.
"We've already said we weren't involved in any way in these ads," he said. "We've made that clear."
Cutter sought to turn the argument over presidential readiness back on the White House. "Mr. McClellan needs to understand that John Kerry is not the type of leader who will sit and read 'My Pet Goat' to a group of second graders while America is under attack," she said.
that's probably true--because according to kerry, he couldn't even think for the 40 minutes between the strikes on the first and second world trade center towers. this, i suppose, would make it awfully hard to read anything. even a children's story.
but, with all of his whining, we can be sure that he's certainly got one aspect of the childish persona down pat.
