KERRY RESPONDS ON 'GMA'

Drudge Report ^ | 2004-04-26 | GMA

[Phantom Lord]

Lets see, Kerrey didn't have time to go get his medals to throw so he threw his ribbons. Does Kerrey keep his ribbons seperate from his medals, and even keep his ribbons with him at all times? How did he have time to get his ribbons but not his medals if he didn't keep them on his person at all times?

[Mr. Buzzcut]

Dude's out of his mind ...

[Peach]

Write ABC and ask them to accept Kerry's challenge.

Gibson claims he SAW Kerry throw his medals. Kerry tells Gibson he's wrong and tells him "Get the tape. There's file footage of this" (paraphrase)

ABC - GET THE TAPE!

[OldFriend]

He didn't throw his medals away before he did throw his medals away because it wasn't medals it was ribbons who didn't get thrown away before they did get thrown away.

And furthermore, it's all Nixon's fault, or is it all Bush's fault. Oh wait, it's Karen Hughes' fault.

Kerry, Pressed, Says Medals/Ribbons Were the Same Thing (Good Morning America Interview)

[Joe 6-pack]

30 years later, kerry's still at war with "Charlie."

[Akira]

Wow, was this as painful to watch as it was to read? (Painful in a good way) Gibson really seemed to grill him and prevent him from avoiding the question, which is surprising.

[Integrityrocks]

"I didn't throw my medals!! "I would never throw my medals!" "I didn't have time to go home and get my own medals to throw, so I threw someone else's medals!"

What's sad, is that Kerry's followers blindlessly say, KERRY ROCKS! Even in the face of this sort of blatant, pathetic double talk that speaks of all the worsts in his character.

[Wally_Kalbacken]

I'm not an expert in content analysis of text - but there almost has to be a quantitative analysis method which can be applied to such a transcript - that would simply count the length of his answers (in terms of words or even characters). A simple straightforward answer would have a small number of characters or words. Kerry's dissembling responses ramble and ramble and ramble, all the while hitting many extraneous targets - but never answering the essential question. Anyone in the audience can feel the disingenuousness of his responses - but it is such profound dishonesty - there has to be a numeric index to measure it!

they're ribbons.
they're medals.
I threw my ribbons.
I did not throw my ribbons.
I threw my medals.
I did not throw my medals.
I threw someone else's ribbons.
I threw someone else's medals.
I did not throw someone else's ribbons.
I did not throw someone else's medals.

if this guys can't be trusted on minutiae like this,
what's he gonna do as president when something meaningful
comes up?

[Mo1]

Ping

[Pete]

Oh, man. Et tu Charlie? It's almost to the point where one has to start thinking that the media is trying to bring him down. Could this get any worse for Kerry? Here he goes on GMA, a Democratic friendly zone, and gets proverbially fragged by Mr. Gibson. Stop the madness.

If you Democrats are going to get another candidate, please do it NOW and save us all from having to watch this car wreck. No mas. I beg you.

[billorites]

Why doesn't he just say that he threw his medals over the fence, but someone on the other side threw them back?

Could have happened.

[RolandBurnam]

Those weren't his medals - - they were the family's medals.

[jjackson]

GIBSON: when trying to appeal to the anti-war people in "1971, you said as in that interview, it was the medals and then when the people who supported the war were giving you political problems, you then said i didn't throw the medals away 13 years later."

Gibson nailed him!

[Dog]

He just didn't say Gibson was mistaken.....he called Gibson a LIAR.

KERRY: no, you didn't see me throw th. charlie, charlie, you are wrong. that's not what happened.

This is worse than we think..

[Blue Highway]

KERRY: i know politics is (ARE) behind this.

The always grammatically correct Mr Kerry. Would you want a president with a 3rd grade mentality?

[cmet]

Kerry should have asked Charlie who he voted for in the last election

(wish Bush would do that in a lighthearted moment)

[mewzilla]

Kerry's been caught flatfooted. Wonder if he'd forgotten about that interview, or he'd been promised it would never see the light of day?
