Kerry Campaign Explains Bob Kerrey Mixup

AP - 1 hour, 16 minutes ago

John Kerry, Bob Kerrey. It's easy to get confused. At least that's how the Kerry campaign is explaining claims that Kerry — the Democratic presidential candidate — served as vice chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence.

Oops. Make that Bob Kerrey — the former Democratic senator from Nebraska who did serve as the panel's vice chairman.

(snip) It's difficult to take John Kerry's claims about his intelligence experience seriously when one of his credentials is completely made up," said Republican National Committee (news - web sites) spokeswoman Christine Iverson. "If he had shown up for Intelligence Committee hearings he would notice he wasn't vice chairman."

DNC also recanting that he starred in the movies Glitter and The Mask...

At this point, it is pathological.

This is not the first time that the Kerry campaign has credited John Kerry with accomplishments of Bob KerrEy.

See my comment

#51 - John Kerry claimed credit for casting the deciding vote on Clinton's Jobs Bill
but Bob KerrEy was the one who cast the deciding vote.


As Teddy said: "Lie after lie after lie after lie..."

New tagline..

[Jeff Head]

John-Bob Kerry? Johnny-Bob Kerry, Bobby-John Kerr?

[petitfour]

Well, that bears repeating:

If Kerry had shown up for hearings, he'd know he was never vice chairman.

I know what you mean...are they all alseep at the wheel at Kerry headquarters:)

[MamaLucci]

I don't know..........it would creep me out to go there.....

[noodler]

They just keep stacking this stuff.

Want a chuckle..

Scumbags put the Kerry/Kerrey "mistake" out banking on the ignorance of the voting public and hoping they would not be called on it. It's probably driving them nuts that the GOP is not rolling over for the RAT lying machine this time around.

LOL!

[Dahoser]

If he was GOP, they'd have sliced and diced him mercilessly by now.

Yeah, sliced and diced like a 12 year old potatoe.

LOL! Wish I could claim credit; someone else said it elsewhere.

Of course, you are correct. The scary part is, they can count on the press to NOT report the truth.

[Peach]

Love the tagline...

[Southack]

"However, according to the Senate Historical Office, Kerry never had the seniority to hold a leadership position on the committee..."

Not very qualified for the Presidency then, eh?!

Oh, and this marks the first *official* cracks in the news media's monolithic pro-Kerry wall.

Expect more to follow...

In my dreams...

Before the first debate actually begins and after the two candidates are announced, Bush walks in Kerry's direction, reaches into his coat pocket, pulls out then tosses Kerry a pair of flipflop and says "Here, catch".

The following is posted later in that article. I found the statement by McAuliffe in the fifth paragraph to be quite two-faced.

Democratic National Committee (news - web sites) chairman Terry McAuliffe wants to know why Republicans won't release a full list of delegate names to the upcoming GOP convention in New York.

The Republican National Committee has said it will leave it up to states to decide whether to publicize delegates' identities, citing security reasons and confidentiality.

As an example, Gillespie two weeks ago pointed to Web sites that invited protesters to "show them the kind of welcome they can expect in New York."

The DNC released a full list of its convention delegates weeks before its convention in Boston in late July, McAuliffe said.

"What do they have to hide?" McAuliffe asked. "These are the people who will ratify the Republican Party platform, and the American people have the right to know who they are. Republicans can't have it both ways."

McAuliffe's response came a day after GOP convention organizers said 15 percent of their delegates were military veterans. Not releasing a full delegate list prevents the public from substantiating such claims, he said.
