Kerry kid blasts Bush over Haiti Daily News Wire Services
STONY BROOK, N.Y. - Taking a page out of her father's campaign playbook, John Kerry's youngest daughter yesterday criticized the Bush administration for its handling of the crisis in Haiti.
"I believe this administration just helped overthrow, basically overthrow, a democratically elected president," Vanessa Kerry, 27, said during a campaign stop at Stony Brook University of the ouster of Jean-Bertrand Aristide. "We basically, in our silence, allowed him to be deposed."
At a debate Sunday among Democratic presidential candidates in New York City, John Kerry said Bush's actions were "late, as usual." Sen. John Edwards, his chief rival, agreed.
Kerry's daughter, a third-year Harvard medical student, said she is taking time off from school to work on her father's campaign. She fielded questions from about two dozen students.
A poll out yesterday showed Sen. Kerry with a large lead on Edwards in New York's primary, one of 10 primaries set for today nationwide.
The poll from Marist College's Institute for Public Opinion had Kerry leading Edwards 69 percent to 15 percent, among likely Democratic primary voters. The Rev. Al Sharpton was at 5 percent and Ohio Rep. Dennis Kucinich was at 2 percent.

"We basically, in our silence, allowed him to be deposed." At a debate Sunday among Democratic presidential candidates in New York City, John Kerry said Bush's actions were "late, as usual." So, when we act pre-emptively, we're evil. When we stay out of affairs that aren't our business, we're evil. I guess we'd better just accept that we're evil and be done with it then.

It's bad enough Kerry will be all over the media for the next seven months but will we have to hear from this idiot too? BasicallY? She's a Harvard Med School student? Amazing what connections can do.

Basically, it also sounds as if Daddy's talking big (again) and she basically missed his remark, too.
Sheeesh, someone's going to have their gallbladder troubles diagnosed basically by this one someday.

I believe France and Canada would not help if Aristide remained in power. Will Kerry bash them? He does want a change in foreign policies.

She's just trying to help Lurch. By the way, why has the word 'basically' become so popular? People seem to use it as filler, like some guy lighting his pipe while he struggles for an idea.

"We basically, in our silence, allowed him to be deposed."
In other words, we basically, in our silence, allowed the people of Haiti to make their own choice.
No wonder the Dems (= socialists) are upset.

Haiti is the unique situation where there is almost no national security element at all - and so I suggest that if Democrats in Congress ask for an investigation - the Bush Administration should immediately declassify everything (including information from the Clinton era) and dump it on the Internet. This is one of those situations where the long spell of calls for investigation and the long course of the investigation itself does damage, especially during a campaign. I cannot imagine anything strategic being spilled by releasing information Haiti - and my guess is that thee Clinton era maneuvers were much more problematic than anything the Bush administration could have done (if anything) wrong. I would also be nice to see the members of the Black Caucus developing headaches trying to understand the data.

Basically, like, I'm not sure exactly where Haiti is or what they do there, but basically I'm pretty sure like because we were all silent and didn't say anything, like some guy there got his feelings hurt, and basically that like really is not fair and I think like it is all our fault.
Go back to med school honey! The medical community needs more idiots!
