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."
Well, I don't know how those meanings apply to war but they sure define the man himself.
Ya know I can't figure out what will hurt Kerry more.
The ad & book or his reaction to them.
I hope the Bush campaign gets that clip and shows it. Then I would hope that the senate opponents of those non thinking dems play it also. Adk a simple question. Is this the kind of leadership we really need. It would be devastating to four Dem candidates
Btw, my daughter was less than 2 miles form the Pentagon when the attack occurred ... she could see the smoke from her building. But she kept on working until the an evacuation order came down. She didn't sit there paralyzed for over half an hour.
It's a great idea ... but I doubt that CNN would give permission to use the clips.
Both
Kerry is scared to death of the reaction from the Vets
He knows that we can't say anything, because we never served in Vietnam
But there are a whole lot of folks that did and still remember his protest days
By Kerry's own words, he and his fellow senators sat there for forty minutes, realizing 'nobody could think.
Combat engagements last less than 7 minutes - and this putz is supposed to be a combat vet?!?
OK, you get the credit!
To be so clue-less...and yet have some much power in DC...its a wonder that the senate is able to function at all. Kerry would have sat there for hours, if someone hadn't said anything.
If Kerry were to get elected. We will more than likely be facing another terror attack, and he will be dumbfounded. The liberal press will be stupified, and God help us all.
These ding dongs need to get it in their mind, Kerry can't handle the problem.
bump
What leadership position did Kerry hold?
