I like it. It would be a powerful play back on their own AWOL theme and would defuse the issue into political farce.

If I could get back to politics

I don't talk politics.

What did you think of the speech of your Democratic colleague Zell Miller at the Republican Convention?
KERRY
Everybody has the right to give a speech. I didn't see it, and I haven't read it. I didn't see one minute of the convention.

What?! A political candidate who doesn't discuss politics?
And didn't Kerry tell us at midnight after the RNC, that the republicans had just finished a "smear" convention? Did he not tell the world what a hate filled affair the convention was?
NOW he says that he never watched ONE minute of it?! Great, he makes decisions and speeches on subjects he knows nothing about! He takes the intelligence handed to him as the truth, without checking things out for himself?
