“Had I been reading to children and had my top aide whisper in my ear that America is under attack, I would have told those kids very nicely and politely that the president of the United States has something that he needs to attend to,” Kerry said.

[LongsforReagan]

This is truly disgusting. Obviously, Kerry has no shame pandering to the Mcheal Moore DemoRATS. This will backfire in a big way. How low is too low?

[RightthinkinAmerican]

This from the party which warned Bush not to make 9/11 an issue.

[x1stcav]

It's F-ing disgusting.

This totally reprehensible jerk is going doen in flames on election day.

How 'bout those 19 years in the Senate, Johnny? Oh, ya won't tell us, but you'll tell us about storytime, hmm?

[alisasny]

"and afterwards I would have acknowledged how many Senate Intell. Comm. meetings I had missed to the American People."

[CROSSHIGHWAYMAN]

Kerry's desperation will reveal the true nature of the man.

America will be repelled by his arrogance and poor taste!

[Unam Sanctam]

This whole charge is just so ridiculous. Sir Francis Drake continued to play bowls when the Armada was sighted. There are any number of reasons why the President might have waited to react.

[Izzy Dunne]

I wonder what he would have done in those seven minutes...

[KJacob]

I hope the candidates are asked about this in one of the debates. Kerry will look like a shameless politician and Bush will look like a leader.

> I would have told those kids very nicely and politely that the president of the United States has something that he needs to attend to,” Kerry said.<

Oh, and the obvious observation: That "something" would be to call France and see how best to apologize to the perpetrators.

[Lady Jag]

I kill children and pets
with my bare hands!

[LongsforReagan]

Its a good sign that this is on MSNBC, but other outlets need to be alerted.

This has the potential to be devastating.

[IrishGOP]

The Bush campaign really needs to slam him for this one.

[KentTrappedInLiberalSeattle]

I'm certain it will be but a few scant moments before Big John McCain comes striding manfully into the room, condemning TerAYza's Cabana Boy in the strongest possible terms.

Or not.

[You Dirty Rats]

In seven minutes Mighty Mouse would have been on the way to save the day!

[Frank_Discussion]

Just when I think he can't be worse a buffoon, he surprises and disgusts me.

What a ugly-minded idiot excuse for a man.

[wideawake]

“Had I been reading to children and had my top aide whisper in my ear that America is under attack, I would have told those kids very nicely and politely that the president of the United States has something that he needs to attend to,” Kerry said.

"Then I would immediately gotten on the phone with Al-Qaeda and asked them, point-blank, 'how much is it going to take to make all this go away?'" Kerry continued, "After I got their answer, I would have promptly called my wife's personal secretary and asked her to cut a check for the required amount. It's not rocket science, people."

Sure you would, John -- and you'd have scared the kids to death.

[michigander]

I wonder what he would have done in those seven minutes...

Changed his underwear.
