Does anyone in Ohio know anybody who worked at Chiquita? Of course, this was not a clean business, but I think that Kerry's comments here and attempt to slander crossed Chiquita the line.
Excuse me. His attempt to slander Chiquita crossed the line.
If I remember correctly, you have a Chiquita - or were you just happy to see me?
uhhh... I mean you have a relative who is involved with Chiquita.
Chiquita was, until very recently, owned by Carl Lindner. He is a billionaire here in Cincinnati who, over the years, has contributed heavily to Republican party causes in general and the Bush family in specific.
That's why Kerry feels safe attacking Chiquita - he's not risking any backroom arrangements or sweetheart deals.
