Those Palestinians, more fun the a barrel of monkeys!

Is Effin' sure he's the nominee? Doesn't seem so.

KERRY: People knew—there was no—you know, this is, I think, an effort by the Republicans to do what they always do. They did it to John McCain in South Carolina. They attacked him on an extraordinarily personal level.

Challenged his patriotism and the quality of his service in prison in Hanoi.

They took on Max Cleland, challenged his commitment to the defense of our nation and his patriotism.

And now they‘re trying to do it to me. And I‘m not going to let them do it. I‘m going to—you know, it seems to me that it—it shows how desperate they are. I mean, they are—here they are, the president of the United States of America, the vice president, in the month of April attacking a not yet even completely nominated nominee personally...

Technically correct, however... why say it? Trying to threaten us with, if you republicans get me booted out Hillary! will step in... ?

Also, perhaps I missed it, but I don't remember anyone disparaging John McCain's service in a PRISON CAMP!

At the time of the Bush/McCain face-off in South Carolina, there was a "swirl" in the media about rumors being spread about BOTH candidates.

The Howard Fineman-types never defined it, but we were led to believe some wacky right-wing religious zealots were spreading rumors about McCain being mentally unfit because of his POW years. There was also something about his wife. This was all just hinted at and I never have known what to make of it.

It was just enough to feed the donkey trash machine and try to separate McCain from the GOP (ala Jeffords). The media never got over their darling losing....they never grasped that it was a REPUBLICAN primary...IN SOUTH CAROLINA! And they call Dubya "dumb"?!
