Wednesdays "Early Show" on CBS highlighted Senator John Kerrys disparaging remarks about the American military in three separate segments, but instead of expressing outrage at Kerrys comments, CBS seemed more concerned that the Republicans may use them for political gain in the midterm elections. While CBS omitted mentions that some Democrats have refused to campaign with Kerry and others have asked that he apologize, the netowrk pondered if the outrage expressed by Republicans was an effort to "fire up the base" or simply a "desperate" attempt to change the subject.
Co-host Hannah Storm inquired of White House Press Secretary Tony Snow if President Bushs demand that Kerry apologize to the troops was genuine or:
"...Is this an effort to get out the conservative, fire up the base and get the vote out in advance of next week's election?"
In the weekly "Capitol Bob" segment, Harry Smith asked Bob Schieffer:
"Did John Kerry give the Republicans a gift or is the White House so desperate to divert attention from the failing policy in Iraq?"
Schieffer conceded this gaffe was a gift from John Kerry, but cautioned:
"Now, how far this goes and where it goes from here, it's hard to say. But at least they've [Republicans] managed to change the conversation for a day."

Bwahahaha it is happening. I wasn't up for working as hard on '06 as I did for '04 but all that's changed now.
Cool beans! Next thing you know they'll be saying Rove was behind it all.
I used to like Hanna Storm, until I found out she could speak.
I remember Hannah doing radio in Houston long ago.
Hehehehe...
I bet tonight that this story will not even be mentioned by the MSM news desks. Of course, I won't be watching anyway, but the media's suits have got to find a way to sweep this under the rug.
Karma is hell .....
The press watering holes in NYC and DC will be doing a land office business today and tonight as they all attempt to drown their sorrows over what Kerry has wrought. During the Tony Snow show today they were doing everything in their power to change the subject, and ABC radio news just ran a little short story that "Mark Foley is STILL in treatment," very reminiscent of Franco's prolonged death.
Don't worry CBS, you and the other wholly-owned subsidiaries of the democrat party have covered up for Kerry. Few Americans really know what Kerry said, since all the media presented it as a criticism of Bush.
The media can not be trusted.
Kerry's karma ran over his dogma.
Didn't she used to do some sports shows?
You're probably right on the money with this prediction!

"Next thing you know they'll be saying Rove was behind it all."
Yes! That's it! Rove remotely hypnotized Kerry, subliminally put those words into his mind, and created voices in Kerry's head that compelled him to say them out loud! Yes...it's Rove's fault!!
HEE! HEE!

It's not often that a candidate takes down a party with him, and even more rare that it happens twice. But Kerry, like William Jennings Bryan, has done it.
