Do we want a "distracted" Kerry in charge of these?
Kerry: "Oops. My boo-boo."
He mentioned it because he WAS ASKED about it. He NEVER volunteered to discuss his daughter's personal life.
Nice try, Couric.
Actually, I think Kerry's entire campaign is, and has been, awkward and a distraction.
One could only wonder the true enjoyment of a Howard Deaniac campaign would have brought to this, otherwise boring and self defeating excursion into oblivion, these "Democrat Party" loonies are on.
At least with Dean there would be enough comedic lines to actually make stand up comedy funny again. ;)
A distraction? How about a self inflicted wound? When edwards mentioned it, it was passed off as a casual remark. When kerry mentioned it it was obviously a talking point designed to appeal to the bigots out there and to pay homage to the radical gay and du types out there. There was no other reason to mention it twice during the debates.
How many gays out there simply go about their lives not wishing to wear their sexuality on their sleeve. How do you think that made them feel? How many people have gays in their family. How do you think this went over with them? this is not a bump in the road, this is the ditch.

LOL
Can Lenny and Squiggy be far behind?
It would seem that Katie's contempt for John Fu Kerry rivals her distate for the President himself. She is a good example of someone who would never tell a pollster she would vote for Bush, but in the privacy of the voting booth may make the right choice.
And that's why this is going to be a landslide of epic proportions.
Senator Kerry recognized that Schieffer had failed to produce a homophobe's answer, so he tried to provoke the President over the fact that his VP, gasp, had a homosexual daughter.
Since there isn't a single bigot cell in President Bush's system, he ignored the clumsy attempt.
The fact that the Kerry symps in the general media keep bringing it up is not to criticize Kerry, but to hang the homo-lover tag on the President and thus continue to chip away at the base.
Don't give Couric any kudos for this stunt.
I am so angry that it's hard for me to type. I absolutely HATE the Democratic Party for what it's become....power hungry thirsty maggots.
IMO, O'Reilly has been going out of his way the past 60 days to appear "Independent" as opposed to being "Pro-Bush" because he was aware this harassment suit was in the works.
He calculated that by remaining neutral that the MSM would lessen its zeal in piling on him...like they did to Gringrich and Lott, et al.
Today Show must figure that sex sells. And the Dems, realizing they're caught on this, have determined to pseudo-admit fault and then change the subject as quickly as possible.
Good on your game this AM, glgb. Irritates me how the yapping heads think that by just SAYING Kerry won all three makes it so. Even Leno made it his first jab last night with "three strikes, you're out". Frontloaded exit polls didnt help either, no matter how outrageously lopsided (80%? Come on!). But not like this was unexpected. But people I talk with (lib & conservative) seem to know otherise - or simply think the whole debate thing overrated media hype.
That giant 'K' might have stood for Kerry!
Wow, are you serious? She was actually wearing this today?
Thanks again for another excellent Today Show report!
This "lesbian" comment hurt Kerry bigtime. I was at Blackvoices (An African-American website) and there was a poll and 50% didn't approve of what Kerry did. That is a watershed, because they normally think that GWB is the devil and Kerry "walks on water".
ping!
Please FReepmail me if you want on or off my infrequent ‘miscellaneous’ ping list.
DuuuuuhhhH!! Ya think??
I just remembered the Today Show is on until 10am (not 9am like Fox & Friends). Just checked out the show for myself and saw Katie with her glitzy "K" sweater. I assume it's for "Katie"... or is it? ;-)
"Kerry's statement was not a magnanimous gesture but a calculated political move intended to undermine Pres. Bush's culturally conservative base."
Which is exactly why they're repeating it on the "Today" show -- they want to make sure any stay-at-home moms who might have missed the debate know about Mary Cheney.
speaking of russert:
I have obtained an exclusive video of him dancing at the Anti Bush party....

Just logging in haven't read through everything, but I couldn't believe they led the show off with it! Quite a few surprising things---her question to Matlin was accustory, while of course Dee Dee got the setup, but still I was surprised. Later on Katie actually defended Oreilly a little as well. But I had to mute the singing with Rod Stewart twice. You can tell that Katie self-deprecating remarks about her voice, which she never hesitates to showcase, aren't genuine. Just coy humility! Katie thinks she really has a good voice. Album coming up perhaps? A la Kathie Lee? (yikes!)
