The Bush camp forced John Kerry yesterday to disavow raunchy celebrity comments at the Democratic gala at Radio City Music Hall as the presidential campaign erupted into a war over who has better values.Republicans hit the ceiling because John Mellencamp sang a song calling President Bush "a cheap thug" and Whoopi Goldberg joked about George Bush's last name and Dick Cheney's first.
The flap accomplished two GOP goals: trample on Kerry's rollout of John Edwards as running mate and block his attempt to move away from Howard Dean-style anger toward a voter-friendly message of hope.
Bush campaign manager Ken Mehlman branded Thursday's $7.5 million Democratic fund-raiser a "star-studded hatefest" and demanded Kerry release a video of the show.
Kerry's camp refused, saying Bush doesn't even let reporters cover his fund-raisers. "The hypocrisy ... is almost unimaginable," said Kerry adviser Tad Devine.
Kerry campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill said Kerry rejected some of the comments, which included Chevy Chase saying of Bush, "This guy's as bright as an egg timer."
"He does not approve of some of the remarks that were made last night and he has made that clear," Cahill told reporters. In fact, Kerry did not comment on the flap.
The Bush camp said Kerry should have disavowed the comments as soon as they were made."John Kerry just sat there, grinning like a mule eating briers," said Sen. Zell Miller (D-Ga.), a Bush supporter.
The Kerry camp noted Bush never condemned Cheney for telling a Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.) on the Senate floor to go f--- himself.
Campaigning in Pennsylvania, Bush called Kerry "out of step with mainstream values" because he voted against funding troops, federal support for religious groups and a law requiring parental approval for teenage abortions.
Kerry and Edwards accused Bush of trying to distract voters from economic issues.
They said they represent "real American values" because they want to focus on education, health care and jobs instead of abortion, gay marriage and foul-mouthed celebs.

The sad thing is, he was right. This is the "heart and sould of the Democratic Party", such as it is.
They represent "real American values?" what planet are they from? oh well, what can you expect from pigs except grunts...they obviously (Kerry and what's his name) like to play in the sewers with the rest of the sewer-smelling-idiots....God Bless Pres. Bush!!!!!
You're cynical! But I think you may be onto something here...we need to be prepared to expose this in advance...
NOTE TO KARL: BE AWARE OF NETWORK COVERUP
I am a court reporter for some 30 years and some years back, I took Goldberg's deposition in her divorce case....she smelled so bad from not showering I had to move my chair back from her...I don't think she ever showered or washed her hair in months....and that's the truth!!!!
If you roll with the
Then you smell like
The two Johns just got tagged as the two turds.
Let's see....
Whoopi Goldberg, ex-heroin addict, dyslexic fool, washed up comediene, slams Bush, not too impressive.
Chevy Chase, Hollywood has been,
John Mellencamo, old horse voive.
Can't they come up with something new?
Thomas Payne stated a long time ago the following quote which fits appropriately to the "Dud studded Gala Event", "You can sit very quietly and make people think you are not so smart, or you can open your mouth and remove all doubt." This seems fitting for the Democrat Bush haters. Although, the reference By Whoopi about Edwards being Kerry's "boy" makes me wonder "Does she know something that the rest of the world don't know?"
Wait a minute, "a horse eating briers". The more I look at Kerry's face, the more the resemblance starts to increase.
Love that Senator Zell Miller.
I would not agree with your post about Joe Wilson. He is a partisan liar who is out to get the president. The writer you cite tries to pawn him off as a studious, knowledgable diplomat. Read this article for a different view.
Release the tape!
:-)
The 2 johns...2 little...2 late!
In fact, Kerry did not comment on the flap.
So... Kerry's spokesman lied?!?! How come reporters are suddenly shy about using the "L" word? They certainly aren't bashful whenever the Dems spout their nonsense about President Bush.
Pray for W and Our Amazing Troops
No. Dick told Pat to "go f--- himself."
Miller should be invited to speak at the Republican convention.
