For anyone too young to remember Senator Eugene Joseph McCarthy, Tailgunner Joe, and the Army - McCarthy hearings, that's from where the last paragraph's quote can be found.

Along with President Nixon, Senator Eugene Joseph McCarthy and my grandmother were great friends.

"They have in mind a TV spot using an old film clip"

To the Mary Cheney issue add Edwards' "arise and walk" clip re Reeves and stem cells.

I'm sure we could think of others... so have at it!

Good. Looks like Safire has woken up and decided to write a useful column.

Cool. My grandfather was friends with Jack Daniels and Jim Beam.

The sleazier purpose of the Kerry-Edwards spotlight on Mary Cheney is to confuse and dismay Bush supporters who believe that same-sex marriage is wrong, to suggest that Bush is as "soft on same-sex" as Kerry is, and thereby to reduce a Bush core constituency's eagerness to go to the polls.

Truer words were never spoken. It was a blatant attempt by all involved Kerry Kampaign Workers to hang pink triangles around the necks of the President and VP.

Kerry has no decency. Makes it better for Bush's campaign of course. But the man hasn't the sense to apologize and he certainly doesn't have the sincerity to pull it off.

The dummycrats keep saying "But its alright, because VP Cheney thanked Edwards, graciously afterwards..."
***** I BEG YOUR PARDON?
What else was Dick Cheney supposed to do? Turn around and punch the daylights outta Edwards? (I wish...)

Kerry will, I hope, assert his essential decency by apologizing with sincerity.

Dream on, Bill. Keep the chest going in and out.

The OpEd columns are usually on inside of the last page, the last time I looked.

Kerry and the Democrats are so sleazy that if they thought it would get him any votes, they'd run an ad saying that Bush told a close group of friends that God was dead.

I just found out yesterday that President Nixon was a very very distant relative on my fathers side.
My dad was a Teamsters Union Officer and hated Nixon more than any person ever alive.
I'm going to have fun telling dad they're related.

God Bless Vice President Cheney and his wonderful family. Mary should never have been brought up. Whatever personal family issues are, I think they are off limits.

That this issue was brought up shows the dysfunction of the democrat party that I left.

"Kerry will, I hope, assert his essential decency by apologizing with sincerity."

Like most Democrats, Kerry has no "essential decency" nor does he have sincerity.

I think Mrs. Edwards is use to saying whatever she wants and not being held accountable. She is arrogant and mean.

Hard to believe this was allowed to be printed on the pages of the New York Slimes.

I believe Sen. Eugene Joseph McCarthy was Eugene McCarthy, the antiwar presidential candidate from Minnesota called "Clean Gene". I think you meant to refer to Joseph McCarthy (no Eugene), the senator from Wisconsin.
