Kerry Campaign Seizes on Halliburton Probe

After days of trying to make political hay over lost Iraqi explosives, the Democratic ticket turned Friday to an FBI probe of Halliburton as evidence of Bush administration special favors to special interests. President Bush was campaigning with actor-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger.

"We need a president and a vice president of the United States who consistently stand up for the interests of the American people, and that's not what we're seeing right now," Democratic running mate John Edwards said on CBS Friday morning.

Edwards was even more pointed Thursday night when he told 3,000 people at a Davenport, Iowa, rally, "You cannot stand with Halliburton, big oil companies and the Saudi royal family and still stand up for the American people."

I will be *so* glad when I finally hear the last of that ponderous, pompous, boring, droning fool.

The Lawyer Ticket has gone from Ambulance-chasing to Headline-Chasing.

If dredging up Halliburton is best they've got, Kerry-Edwards should just surrender and move to France now...

Has John Kerry gotten around to mentioning those "missing" explosives yet today?

Not to rain on your parade, but he will still be a Senator for four more years, at least.

Interesting how the Mainstream Media stories, all of the sudden, are becoming the primary talking points for the Kerry campaign.

That's, ah, interesting. Eh?

If there was any doubt before, it's gone. The MSM has not only sold out their souls, they have sold out the country. Period.

The Dems must hate OBL now. He basically dominates MSM headlines, overshadows other news such as Halliburton, "Missing" weapons, Edwards' hair...

This was the long awaited "Thursday night dirtbomb" we anticipated would be released late yesterday. Now it will be completely knocked off the news cycles by the OBL video. Thank you Osama!

Well, not really. After all, Osama bin Laden is towing the "the President is misleading the American people" line. So, it is really right out of their playbook.

They may not like that the #1 terrorist in the world is reading right from their playbook, but, hey, it's THEIR playbook.

Kerry Campaign Seizes on Halliburton Probe

I'm shocked that it took them so long (almost 24 hours). My only guess is they didn't want to look like opportunists.

Still curious to find out what'll be on 60 Minutes this Sunday... something meant to skewer the President, no doubt.

Does the name, "Bob Dole" fail to ring a bell?
