Boston columnist Thomas Oliphant's daughter is a speechwriter for the Kerry-Edwards campaign.
Biased, ya think ? ? ?
Uhh.....Pot this is the Kettle, YOUR"E BLACK!
Tommy and Kerry go back to 1971.He started his "career" reporting on Kerry and the "VVAW".He was probably dodging the DRAFT simultaneously to being Kerry's "Butt Boy"!
I'm sure Cheney had this quip planned in advance. It seems like a variation on the Lloyd Bentson quipe to Dan Quayle when he said, 'Jack Kennedy was a friend of mine, and you are no Jack Kennedy.'
Kennedy administration people say that Bentson never even knew JFK and that he made this up for dramatic effect. I suspect that Oliphant has never called Bentson out for this, but rather just cackles over Bentson's debating skills.
