"I think the American people would rather Card and the rest of the White House staff spend more time on fixing Bush's flawed policy in Iraq than on Sen. Kerry's language."

If that's what liberals want, they should stop using foul language to make themselves look successively worse and worse. Kerry's comment was extremely unpolished and unprofessional. There is never an excuse for using the "F" word unless you are with close friends your own age.

Bawaaaaaahaaaaa!

Kerry - you Sir are second to only Al Haig and John Glenn in the inefficiency of your campaign, in terms of a dollars/support ratio. In less polite terms you are a loser. and virtually everyone, including a lot of your campaign staff, know it.

"John Kerry saw combat up close...

Really? I never knew that. Where?

[ChemistCat]

I do not want someone who is so potty-mouthed he will emit words like that when he knows a mike is live.

I'm not too keen on George W. Bush's own slip-up during the 2000 campaign--even if he WAS right about that reporter.

A President must have control of himself at all times.

That's my NTBHO.

"John Kerry saw combat up close, and he doesn't mince words when it comes to politicians who put ideological recklessness ahead of American troops," said spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter. "I think the American people would rather Card and the rest of the White House staff spend more time on fixing Bush's flawed policy in Iraq than on Sen. Kerry's language."

John Kerry was in the military??? I didnt know... *rolling eyes*

SO when Card was asked about it, he isnt allowed to comment on it according to Stephanie Gutter?

Oh--did Kerry see combat? I did not know that! /sarcasm

I'm still waiting for ANY o fthese demo-mentalmidgets to say what they would have done rather than constantly whining.

One more thing: allow me to say what the White House can't say but what I am sure is in their hearts: Kerry's an effin *sshole.

Has anyone EVER seen a statement by Kerry or his people where DIDN'T mention his service in Vietnam? The dude has been flogging this dead horse for months and months, and it ain't gonna run no more.

He sat in the front row during the showing of The Green Berets with John Wayne.

You'll note they didn't say "John Kerry saw real combat up close".

"Nothing is beneath John Kerry..", and after he fails to win the nomination, Teresa Heinz probably won't be either. It is doubtful that she will want to have all of the money in the world, and be married to a loser.

This was planned. It was in a sit-down interview. With Rolling Stone, no less -- not Newsweek -- RS's readers would respond favorably, on balance, to this. Kerry's handlers knew exactly what they were doing.

He wasn't overheard at a restaurant. This wasn't some reporter nearby when he got the bad news of his poll numbers. This was a planned "slip up".

It's supposed to make the WH and critics look like prudes and it expresses Kerry's bona fides vis-a-vis the Dean crowd. Dean may disagree with Bush's policies, but Kerry is f'in' pissed!

Hell, she should have no complaints....the bastard was a loser when she married him...and you can't make a silk purse out of a pig's ear.

"where he was wounded and was awarded the Silver Star and Bronze Star with combat V."

Well then, he should have the Purple Heart ... but wait, he did ... no, he threw them on the steps of the Capitol in protest ... no, they're on his office wall. What's going on?

"At a 1971 anti-war protest, some Vietnam veterans put their medals on the steps of the U.S. Capitol in protest of the war. Kerry threw his two Purple Hearts on the steps of the Capitol and then said, ''This administration forced us to return our medals...These leaders denied us the integrity those symbols supposedly gave our lives.''

However, several years later, a reporter noticed Kerry's Purple Hearts on his office wall. He admitted that the medals he threw on the steps were not his own, but instead were given to him by two other men."

"That's beneath John Kerry," the president's chief of staff, Andrew Card, said on CNN's "Late Edition."

Please, Republicans, stop attributing integrity to scum like John Kerry.

"John Kerry saw combat up close, and he doesn't mince words when it comes to politicians who put ideological recklessness ahead of American troops..."

I do not respect this man. I will not genuflect before his service either, since he prostitutes it shamelessly.

[Clara Lou]

I believe the f-word is an obscenity rather than a profanity.

The evil that is coming from the left is almost on par with the terrorists. They are giving comfort to the enemy at the very least.
