Something to Yak About: Kerry Camp Backspins From Petty Bicycle Remark Did Kerry Want Convention Nomination Before Declining It? Kerry Strategy Riles Hometown Democrats Money, Money, Money Money Don’t Delay Accepting Your Nomination Talkers Profile – Sam Greenfield, WWRL/New York City
Talk about just plain petty. Upon hearing that President Bush took a spill while mountain biking in Texas, John Kerry asked a bunch or reporters with TV cameras whirring, “Did the training wheels fall off?” Now, Kerry campaign flack Stephanie Cutter is back-spinning, telling The Washington Times that the smarmy wisecrack was supposed to be off-the-record. For those who missed the initial incident, the president’s mishap took place near the end of a 17-mile mountain bike ride around his ranch Saturday. He’s okay.
In what may be the biggest flip-flop in political history, John Kerry now says he’s thinking about not accepting the nomination of his party at the Democrat Convention in Boston! But if the Gentleman from Massachusetts wants to engage in a four-day rah-rah in his hometown without accepting the nomination, the GOP has vowed to not remain silent.
John Kerry’s suggestion that he not accept the Democrat nomination during the party’s Boston convention has hometown Mayor Thomas Menino unhappy with his fellow Massachusetts Democrat. The Boston Herald described Mayor Menino as “peeved” that Kerry is considering making the convention meaningless, and quoted the mayor as saying, “My advice? Do what everybody else has done in the past.” Ya think?
John Kerry, the ever-principled Man of the People, is considering wasting his party’s convention – its premier quadrennial event! – for a few bucks. By refusing to accept his party’s nomination in July, he doesn’t take receipt of $75 million in campaign funds until later in the summer, letting him keep his powder dry for a few additional weeks. At least that’s the theory. Funny how a political party that hoodwinked Americans into thinking it’s the party of clean campaign politics is finding yet another way to toss a grenade into campaign finance laws.

Here's one for the record: The Botox Boy is a petty, whining, two-faced liar.
17 miles? How long was Kerry's ride? 17 minutes?...............
What a F-in jerk.
Even Democrats are ridiculing this proposal. The trial balloon drew RPG fire.
Idjit.
When is Kerry going to take the training wheels off his election campaign and start acting decent? That would be never.
"Stephanie Cutter is back-spinning, telling The Washington Times that the smarmy wisecrack was supposed to be off-the-record."
LOL. Maybe the media needs a "qualifying remarks" checklist for Kerry prior to each interview:
1) Are your speechwriters projecting through you in this interview, or do you endorse the words you are about to speak?
2) Is this on or off the record? How about...now? And...now?
3) Are you for and then against, or against and then for?
4) For brevity, can we just all agree that you served in Viet Nam and move on to the issues?
you gotta admit that was pretty funny!
shouldnt it be back pedaling?
He must not remember his OWN bicylce wreck...maybe he hit his head...
Unfortunately I don't think we'll get so lucky as to see Kerry not accept his party's nomination at the convention. Too bad, it would have been fun to watch the non-candidate candidate make an utter fool of himself for a few weeks!
Speaking of "training wheels", when is Kerry going to tell us in his own words the positive changes he will make as President, rather than continuously sending surrogates to do his talking for him?
Please tell us, Senator, what you specifically plan to do regarding Iraq, the War On Terror, the Economy, Taxation, New Spending, Spending Cuts, Energy Policy, Capturing Osama Bin Laden, Uniting the Country, and "Making America America Again".
I don't want to hear it from Nancy Pelosi, Ted Kennedy or James Carville. You got something positive to contribute? Let us know what it is.
I thought it was funny, I was told in Italian to put training wheels on once when I crashed in Sicily.
A good line, but Kerry's absolutely no respect attitude for Bush, much less the office of President, has gotten pretty old. They guy is a punk.
I respectfully resubmit the guy is a F-in Jerk.
I want to see a picture of John Kerry falling off his bike.
