Have to be careful with whatever it is.
It could quickly be spun to "don't hurt the girl", or Kerry could have a brief erect spine moment and bellow
"Attack me all you want but leave my wife alone!"
True enough. It may actually be one reason why Drudge & Hannity holding off: they want to make sure the story breaks first from a source that can't be easily dismissed as part of the right-wing attack machine.
The RATS will call Bush mean spirited, cruel, nasty...leave the candidates' wives alone, blah, blah, blah. But Kitty Dukakis was a raging alcoholic. Reporters knew it, it showed up subtlely in various gossip columns. Jokes were made, but republicans never used it in ads or showed any disrespect for her. She had problems, and after he lost the election, she went into a sanatorium. TerAYsa, however, well, I suspect she's busy digging not only her grave, but Kerry's. For years reporters have used code words for her behavior, 'loose cannon' being just one of many. They're always quick to say how 'colorful' she is. Wonder if she's schizo. She's on drugs of some kind for sure. I bet Karl Rove knows exactly which ones.
