This was all planned. Both Kerry and Edwards made reference to Mary Cheney. It was calculated and in that it deserves to be thumped hard.
My he is suddenly into God this week.
Never say "thumped hard" in a sentence including Jane F. Kerry and Johnny Edwards, about homosexuality.
There is no doubt it was planned. They hope to use it to suppress conservative support for Bush. They hope it makes people forget that it is the Dems who will stand by and do nothing as their judges do for them what they can't do in a fair, democratic fight.
I can only imagine the outrage that would have been expressed by the Couric and Jennings' of the world had it been a Republican doing this to a Dem.
