Kerry Statement on Libby Guilty Verdict

WASHINGTON DC – Senator John Kerry (D-Mass.) today offered the following statement on the CIA Leak case, which reached a verdict in Washington today.

“This verdict brings accountability at last for official deception and the politics of smear and fear,” Kerry said. “This trial revealed a no-holds barred White House attack machine aimed at anyone who stood in the way of their march to war with Iraq. It is time for President Bush to live up to his own promises and hold accountable anyone else who participated in this smear. It is also well past time for Vice President Cheney, who according to the testimony was protected by Scooter Libby’s lies, to finally acknowledge his role in this sordid episode.

“I also want to thank the jury and the prosecutor for their hard work in this case.”

[Still Thinking]

The guy can't manage to report to the Senate 25% of the time but he never misses a public execution ...

The recently discovered "Tomb of John Kerry's Presidential Ambitions."

but only after he didn't vote for it

.....Good God John.....go clean yourself up, you've got ketchup on your face.....

[Still Thinking]

I spit on the graves of the ancestors of every one of those jurors.

[TexasCajun]

hold accountable anyone else who participated in this smear.

The Senate Intelligence Committee determined Joe Wilson lied numerous times and it was his wife CIA employee Valerie Plame to got him the Niger job.

Liberals always construe Truth as Smear!

Mr. Rogers voice: "Hello boys and girls, can you say the word "smear". That's S-M-E-A-R. That's very good, now let's all say it at the same time. Good boys and girls!"

I also want to thank the jury and the prosecutor for their hard work in this case.”

[Still Thinking]

And you know Bush won't have the stones to pardon the guy.
