Last week Sen. John Kerry ridiculed President George W. Bush for continuing to sit with school children in Florida after chief of staff Andrew Card informed him that a planes had hit the World Trade Center buildings. Bush sat with the children for seven minutes, before cutting short his appearance and pulling together senior staff for a briefing.
Kerry claimed he would have done better. But he didn't, and even admitted it.
Kerry has stated on several occasions publicly that he literally froze up after hearing about the terrorist attacks in New York. According to Kerry and several of his staff members, Kerry was meeting with several other U.S. senators in Washington when word came about the New York attacks. Kerry claims that he and his Democratic colleagues sat together for more than 45 minutes, stunned by the news. Even after word came about the attack on the Pentagon, Kerry was immobilized.
"It was not his finest hour, or two hours," says a former Kerry staffer, now advising the campaign. "But there were a lot of folks in this town who didn't perform up to snuff. That said, Kerry shouldn't be slapping Bush around about his seven minutes. Kerry had ten-times that, maybe more."
