Anyone have a source for the actual quote. It might be easier to ascertain which Saturday this was if we read Kerry's actual words.
Reeve deserves the tributes he's getting regardless of what the grave robber has to say about it.
Davey- we hardly knew ye!
C'monguys- you have to recognize that John Kerry HAS made sacrifices for the downtrodden. It's a dirty job, marrying rich looney women to have the wherewithal to support leftwing causes.
But in all fairness - maybe it was a long distance call and it took a while for the electrons to reach sKerry's phone...
...and right in line with his hunger and quest for power in his own little lifelong pursuit of it not giving a crap on whose body(ies) he has run over to get there!

NOT magic, just Divine.
Is the WHO a typo, or did the rest of the media fall inline and report Saturday to avoid showing Kerry to be a liar? I find that hard to believe.

Here is the quote to remember:
"[Kerry] said Reeve left him a long voice mail on Saturday thanking him for campaigning on the possibilities of a cure for conditions like his. "

Here is the quote to remember:
"The actor fell into a coma on Thursday after going into cardiac arrest at his New York home. "
He'll just say he hadn't checked his messages for a few days...yeah...right.
Yesterday, when I told my husband that Chris Reeve had died, he said that explains why Kerry mentioned "my friend, Chris Reeve" in the debate.
Kerry had a heads up that Chris was at death's door and chose to use his death for political advantage.
No doubt he'll be eulogizing "his friend" at the funeral.
Democrats, especially Kerry, have no shame. Wellstone redux?
Thanks. You answered my question four seconds before I asked it. Talk about magic....
If you recall, Kerry dropped Marlon Brando's name after he died as well. Said they often discussed the situation in Nicaragua.
Do we have the Rueters story cached?
Just got off the phone with WHO TV...theu said that the quote "fell into a coma thursday"....came from (of all places CNN
AFP IS a wire service: Agence France-Presse!
Thanks for the links ;-)
If he had a heart attack on Thursday, would his family/doctors allow him to watch the debates? make cell phone calls? Bear in mind that he also had a bad infection and was in generally poor health. Doesn't seem likely.
