Evan Thomas on "Imus in the Morning" - "They took Kerry's cell-phone away from him twice."
"Imus in the Morning" program on MSNBC | November 4, 2004 | Evan Thomas

Posted on 11/04/2004 3:27:35 AM PST by snarks_when_bored

Evan Thomas was just on "Imus in the Morning" on MSNBC. He's starting to spill his guts on the stuff the MSM hid from the public about John Kerry and his campaign.

First, Thomas admits that Kerry's staff took his cell-phone away from him twice, in order to prevent him from calling hundreds of people to decide what he should think about a particular issue. Imus adds that Kerry called him, Imus, on more than one occasion asking for advice.

This information was apparently not deemed newsworthy before John Kerry might have been elected President of the United States.

Next, Thomas candidly describes Teresa Heinz-Kerry as a self-absorbed hypchondriac. Whenever she spoke to gatherings during the campaign, she was boring and concentrated only on herself. (Of course, we knew that, but what we see is that the MSM was holding back from describing the kind of disaster that even they knew Teresa would have been had she become First Lady.)

More 'revelations' will doubtless follow.

The "Anybody But Bush" armor that Kerry was wearing during the campaign just came off.... Now he's fair game once again.

I guess free long distance doesn't cover calls to France

Evan Thomas. Gee, doesn't he work for Newsweek, the same rag that employs Spikey Isikoff?

He's worse than fair game now. First, he lost to the much-hated Dubya. Second, he will be hammered by all of those seeking to show how Hillary would have done it better. He'll think he's in the Night of the Longknives.

This kind of thing is why I really hate the MSM. Kerry has been for a long time considered the worse legislator when it comes to constituent services. He has never done a good job at this, and when confronted with it he blames his staff. He will resign his Senate position within the next year or so.

That's the medical term for "someone habitually so chipmonk-cheeked with gin-soaked raisins she can barely stagger," right...? :)

Kerry's an empty suit, no leadership abilities, but we knew that.

You know this just chaps me. Why don't they report this stuff? I understand they are in the tank for Kerry but the fact that this guy couldn't make a decision without talking to Imus is really scary. Theresa being a hypochondriac is proof positive that she was medicated which we all assumed. Now Doris Kearns Goodman says we are in the midst of a religious revival--country feeling we need moral values. She says the word mandate.

Pretty good transcript of what happened. You should join our The Daily Talk Show Thread.

Looks like the RATs are throwing Sen. Ketchup to the wolves already.

The Imus show is like Meet the Depressed today.

Now the news media will eat John F. Kerry like the sharks they are.

This just shows the lies of another post today concerning Kerry conceeding.

Sorry, should have written "mainstream media (i.e., MSM)"

And, yes, Evan Thomas is a "Newsweek" biggie.
