" By a 2-1 margin, likely voters found Kerry's comment inappropriate, according to an ABC News poll out Friday. Bush also thought it was inappropriate, White House spokesman Scott McClellan said.
" Kerry also was asked during the CNN interview to name three mistakes he's made. Bush was asked that question during the second debate, and Kerry has criticized him for not giving a complete answer."
" Kerry also gave a vague answer. "Gosh, I think I made a mistake in terms of the breadth of some of the programs that I have talked about in the primaries because the deficit was larger than we anticipated and we obviously couldn't afford," he said.
I just swung by the CNN interview. Candy Crowley was asking Effin about Iraq.
She quoted back his 1971 testimony saying "No man should be the last to die for a mistake". Then she followed up with his calling Iraq the wrong war, wrong place, wrong time---in her mind that says "mistake".
Crowley: So why are you saying we have to stay in Iraq when you said we had to get out of Vietnam?
Effin: Because they're very different. We have a war on terror....[What?!!]
Crowley: But you said it's not a war on terror.....
[Kerry LOOKS terrified at this point!]
Effin flubs around till he finally settles on: Iraq is a war on terror NOW! At that point I had to go back to Fox.
