Er, didn't you already send it? It's just fine!

[Rokurota]

If it was a mistake, why did Kerry say he stood by the statement? How come Kerry never said "I didn't say that."

This is all bs.

[A. Morgan]

BINGO!

[ottothedog]

I was just reading this on drudge and laughing. The media is going to be really trying hard for Kerry this year.

[festus]

Ok so which "More Leaders" is he referring to. As has already been posted, the Boston Fog aka Ketchup Boy has not denied that he said this only tried to explain it.

Its gonna be fun to watch this candidate implode. First couple weeks of GW's salvo's and already he's letting the pressure show.......

[CheezyD]

Oh puh-lease. Kerry is standing by the "foreign leaders" quote! How freaking blatant will this media bias get?

[Gator113]

God I love it when a Rat gets trapped!!!! LOL

[Tribune7]

Who you gonna trust? Kerry or the Boston Globe? Hmmm. Hmmm. The only rational conclusion is that both are lying.

I would like to hear that interview tape, please Mr. Reporter.

[cubswin23]

No liberal bias in the media? This clown thought he may be doing Kerry a favor by saying other leaders supported him. Then Kerry's secret police told him that he screwed up. He tried to correct it. Now what do they all do? Thanks to the media it can cool off before this story will hit the mainstream.

Flip flopping must be a contagious disease among kerry supporters.

[gov_bean_ counter]

When pressed by a citizen at a campaign speech, Kerry said, “I've met with foreign leaders … I have heard from people who are leaders elsewhere in the world

I thought I heard him say after changing the story from "met" to "heard" something like, "yeah, that's it".

Kept waiting for him to follow it up with, "That's the ticket".

Patrick Healy, a political reporter for the BOSTON GLOBE must be auditioning for White House Communications Director under President Kerry.

Healy's claim is, on it's face, totally unbelievable. As others have pointed out - Kerry didn't deny it in addressing the alleged quote repeatedly over the past several days. And when you substitute a blank for the word foreign/more - and read both the setup remarks and then Kerry's response to the setup remarks, nothing makes sense but foreign. And if he used the term more - the context tells you the implied meaning was "more foreign leaders".

Furthermore, even a blind pig today is capable of copying an analog audio file onto a PC, converting it to an MP3 file and sending it along with the e-mail announcing the "correction". It doesn't seem that he has one so. 

I'd love to know the Rube Goldberg mechanics of the pressure that was applied to get him to attempt a recantation like this.

[Wild Irish Rogue]

And not one person at the event came forward to correct the misquote. Not one. Not even Kerry . This makes Kerry look even more feeble.

Nice try, Mr Kerry Kolon Kisser.

Is there audio?

[Semi Civil Servant]

"Listening to the audio recorder now, in the quiet of my house, I hear 'more leaders' and I am certain that 'more leaders' is what Senator Kerry said."

You'd think that Kerry would have remembered what he said to you, Patrick Healy, and would have made the correction days ago.

But maybe Kerry incorrectly remembers that he said what you remember hearing back then; but now that you say you hear something else (which Kerry had forgotten he said) he will shortly forget what you said you heard him say and re-remember what you now say you now believe he said. Yeah, that's it.

Or maybe you're both liars.

[GeronL]

????

Why would Kerry defend and stand by his "foreign leaders" quote if he didn't say it?
