Friday, Aug. 6, 2004 Hypocrite Kerry 'Couldn't Think' for 40 Minutes on 9/11
John Kerry is getting his comeuppance for his snotty comments about President Bush's actions on 9/11.
Here's what the Massachusetts Democrat said July 8 when Larry King asked where he was on 9/11, according to CNN's own transcript:
'Nobody Could Think'
"I was in the Capitol. We'd just had a meeting - we'd just come into a leadership meeting in Tom Daschle's office, looking out at the Capitol. And as I came in, Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid were standing there, and we watched the second plane come in to the building. And we shortly thereafter sat down at the table and then we just realized nobody could think, and then boom, right behind us, we saw the cloud of explosion at the Pentagon. And then word came from the White House, they were evacuating, and we were to evacuate, and so we immediately began the evacuation."
How appropriate that Kerry lumps himself in with fellow left-wing non-thinkers such as Boxer, Daschle and Reid.
Thanks to the several readers today who sent us this fascinating bit from Blog for Bush: "the second plane hit the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m., and the plane hit the Pentagon at 9:43 a.m. By Kerry's own words, he and his fellow senators sat there for forty minutes, realizing 'nobody could think.'"
And here's what former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani told the New York Post about Kerry's latest display of insolence:
"John Kerry must be frustrated in his campaign if he is armchair-quarterbacking based on cues from Michael Moore.
"John Kerry is an indecisive candidate [with] an inconsistent position on the War on Terror, who voted against funding for our troops and who cannot give a clear answer on his position concerning the decision to remove Saddam Hussein."
Everyone in the country thought the first plane was some kind of awful accident and NBC was reportinging it "a small airplane has hit one of the towers."
I thought Hannity outdid himself on his radio show when he spoke with the swift boat vets and also did his interview with Rassmann to perfection.
And a meeting by the way that it seems McCain was a participant with the leadership of the RAT party. Daschle, Boxer, Reid, Kerry......
Well, in fairness (though it makes me gag to be fair to the likes of traitor Michael Moore), I believe Moore's claim is that the president sat for seven minutes reading to schoolchildren after being told the second plane had hit.
Though of course, Moore is making a mountain out of less than a molehill. President Bush did the right thing, all the way.
Thanks Carl Limbacher and Newsmax.
In the interest of accuracy, the 9/11 Commission Report, in the Executive Summary, times the hit on the Pentagon at 9:37. In the body of the report (Chapter 1, page 10) they time it at 9:37:46.
Thus it appears that the Senators sat there unable to think for 34 to 35 minutes.
In the CNN transcript, Kerry said that they were then told to evacuate, and immediately did. No mention of how long they stayed after the Pentagon was hit and when they evacuated.

Being able to calmly consider the situation while maintaining the facade of business as usual, rather than bolting from th room screaming "the sky is falling" as Kerry apparently would have, showed both the students, the attending press, and eventually, the world, that he does not panic.
Bush was also criticized for taking to long to strike back at the terrorists (the day before he did it, LOL). But imagine the "cowboy" smears if he just started shooting first and asking questions later.
Moore and his Kerry puppet are barking up the wrong tree here. While Moore can edit the film to show what he wants rather than the truth, the teacher actually in that room, who did not vote for him by the way, remarked how calmly he handled the situation.
Regarding Moore, he and his fantasy were remarked on by Andrea Mitchell this morning on Imus; "factually incorrect and misleading" were her terms for Moore's fantasy work. "Edits out of context sentences" and "documentaries are expected to be factual" also crossed her lips. Don't know what got into her this morning.
See #46 on this thread.
BTTT
And let's not forgot what Edwards was doing that morning also
A good friend summed it up perfectly
