[snip]Monitors showed Kerry, the presumed Democratic presidential nominee, laughing through much of the concert. Afterward, he told the audience that the performers "conveyed the heart and soul of our country." His only quibble was with Goldberg's repeated references to Edwards as "Kid." Kerry said his 51-year-old running mate, who is nine years his junior, is "a man."
Yesterday, Kerry touted his campaign's positive cast, telling a crowd at another fund-raiser, "John and I didn't run one negative ad against each other or any of our opponents all through the primaries and we haven't done a negative ad against George Bush, because we think Americans want real solutions for real problems."
The Radio City event prompted a sharp rebuke from the Bush-Cheney reelection committee, which noted that Kerry attended the concert despite saying earlier on CNN's "Larry King Live" that he had not had enough time to get an intelligence briefing. The administration warned Thursday of Al Qaeda plans to attack the United States and offered to brief Kerry. Kerry's campaign said he has scheduled the briefing for Sunday.
"It is a great example of John Kerry's priorities that on the day he said he did not have time to receive his intelligence briefing on threats to America, he found time to attend a Hollywood fund-raiser, filled with enough hate and vitriol to make Michael Moore blush," Bush-Cheney campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt said.

Later, during a conference call with reporters, Tad Devine, a top Kerry communications strategist, grew animated when asked whether the campaign would release a tape of the event, as the Bush-Cheney committee requested. Doing so might violate copyrights and licensing agreements for the entertainers who performed -- and allow the Bush campaign to use the tape in commercials against Kerry and Edwards, a campaign aide said.
"The hypocrisy of them making a call like that is almost unimaginable," said Devine, adding that Bush and Cheney restrict access to their own campaign events. (In fact, the administration's practice is to let reporters into all fund-raisers except those in private residences. While reporters were invited to the Kerry concert, they were forbidden from recording.)

Welcome.
America will be strong.
If our government fails us, all of our people are armed to the teeth and very feisty.
It wasn't overheard. Leahy sent one of his toadies scurrying to the media to report it.
I'm very surprised that any obsetrician would let the 50 yr. old wife of a malpractice lawyer into his office, much less monitor such a high-risk pregnancy and delivery. Again, this is not about the children. It's about rich baby-boomers getting what they want.
You are very nice with your compliments for America.Thank you.
If you don't mind the prospect of your kids having to take care of you or being orphaned at a young age, I guess having them late in life should be no big deal. To the parents anyway. I just wondered if she had them to help with her hubby's campaign. I found the timing interesting.
There is always a tape with the narssiscits from Babyl-Wood. Surely we can find a prostitute amongst the craven WhorEde that will sell-out for the right price and fess up a copy of the other nite's Goebbel-fest. He//, we're rich Republicans, I'm sure we have enough golden pocket lint to buy that 'one' off. I'll throw in first.

POLAND? Welcome with open arms, my friend.
We appreciate our very strong and very brave friends in Poland.
thank you dear America friend. Do not give that evil people to be not good to you. I like America strong and your great President George Bush is Grom hero.
The fact that they used experimental, market forces created procedure to do it is the problem.
So if it didn't work out, he'd sue the doctor and the hosptial and effectively pull this procedure from the open market for others to exploit.
It's his MO, and he's a hypocrite.
Poland is a good friend to America.
We stand side by side.
No, the kid's are not adopted. From what I understand she decided to quit work and have more children after their 16-year-old son was killed in a car accident.
It's unusual, but not unheard of, especially if it's not your first child.
we polish will be with America. Great ocean is in way we will fight for America. America is good country and good people polish Grom will help.
Was it even overheard by others, or did Leahey himself go to an aide or a reporter and tell him?
"Tad Devine, a top Kerry communications strategist, grew animated when asked whether the campaign would release a tape of the event, as the Bush-Cheney committee requested."
This is a perfect opportunity for old Hillry to make some fast money and expose the ugly of John & John.
John: “John”
John: “yes John”
John: “You know this ‘heart and soul’ thing I said the other night? ”
John: “yes John”
John: “I have a cunning plan”
John: “John?”
John: “I’m going to say that what I really said was I was shocked and horrified and these people represent the ‘a**hole’ of America…”
John: “Eh? ”
John: “you see it kinda rhymes…. I’m a musician you see..as well as serving in Vietnam ..and we have already gottin’ their money.. ”
John: “John”
John: “yes John”
John: “I think you might want to run this one passed our PR people first.. ”
Last night on H&C, Monica Crowley said she was there, and was totally disgusted by what was said.
And this is a message we need to get out! Kerry wants all the privileges of the presidency without the responsibilities....just like his RAT predecessor.
Here we have two John's wanting to run the country. My question is, which one of them is soliciting the hooker and which one is the receiving receptacle for excrement? It could go either way, in my opinion.
