You have to wonder how many more stories like this one are out there, just waiting to be told.

NEXT TIME John Kerry accuses President Bush of misleading the American people, remember Mary Ann Knowles.
Knowles is the Hudson woman whose battle with breast cancer Kerry has turned into a campaign anecdote. Here is what Kerry said about Knowles during his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention on July 29:
“What does it mean when Mary Ann Knowles, a woman with breast cancer I met in New Hampshire, had to keep working day after day right through her chemotherapy, no matter how sick she felt, because she was terrified of losing her family’s health insurance? America can do better. And help is on the way.”
What it means is that John Kerry is fibbing. As Union Leader correspondent Scott Brooks reported on Sunday, Mary Ann Knowles did not have to work through her chemotherapy for fear of losing her health insurance. Employed by Elderhostel, the Boston-based non-profit travel organization for people 55 and older, Mary Ann had 26 weeks of paid disability at her disposal. More was available for a long-term illness. She did not have to work through her chemotherapy. She chose to.
Knowles would have lost some income had she taken the disability leave, said her husband, who is unemployed. But she would not have lost her health insurance, as Kerry has repeatedly misstated.
Asked if the Kerry campaign bothered to get the details of Knowles’ personal story, spokeswoman Judy Reardon said Kerry’s use of the words “every day” in describing Knowles story was “a colloquialism.” She went on: “When a woman has a mastectomy and goes through therapy, I don’t need to double-check on her.”
In other words, Kerry knowingly used the words “every day” when he did not mean “every day,” and he used the phrase: “she still has to go to work every day — just to hang on to their health insurance” when she did not have to work every day and was in no danger of losing her health insurance.
In short, he lied. Repeatedly.
With all that has come to light about Kerry’s voting record and his Vietnam service, his misrepresentation of Marry Ann Knowles’ story should surprise few. Kerry cannot even get his own personal history straight, so how can we expect him to correctly relay someone else’s?
This can't get any cheesier!

Kerry makes Al Gore look like he drank truth-serum instead of iced tea.
Nah, Kerry is in it until November. Then he'll tank.

HE DOES THIS CRAP ALL THE TIME
He tells the story .. BUT HE ALWAYS LEAVES OUT IMPORTANT PARTS OF THE STORY
HE IS A BLEEPING LIAR!
BMP!
Keep this new lie up until it gets attention
What is she saying there? That "every day" means something it doen't mean? Do they use those words in a different way in New Hampshire?
She went on: “When a woman has a mastectomy and goes through therapy, I don’t need to double-check on her.”
She NEEDS to check on her boss, the repeatedly documented liar.
More LIES from Kerry ping
ping. They want to throw dirt at our Vets? Now the truth!
AlGore was a pathological liar, and now I see Kerry is trying to out-lie him. Honestly, those two are the best the democrats can do? There's some kind of mental disorder rampant in that party.
Please join me in laying on the floor and dying laughing.
It's the new Dim explanation. Everything is now a "colloquialism". Saves a lot of messiness.....

If lying was like robbing a bank, John Kerry would make Jesse James look like a Piker
Looks like Kerry might not have a chance in NH if he keeps this up.
Good grief, he makes AlGore seem almost truthful.
Kerry as 'Liar' is what needs to be repeated over and over.
That's what he is, that's what the voters need to know.
That will be his downfall.
Here's one.
You have to wonder how many more stories like this one are out there, just waiting to be told.
The list of Kerry lies is getting longer by the day. I'm getting whip lash keeping up w/all his versions. And now Edwards is talking about ONE America.
I'm sorry, I can't get by this statment to the processes of validation. How ridiculous!
What happen to the 2nd one?? .. ?
