How do we know that the cameraman was Kerry's and not the pool press reporter assigned to cover the Kerry campaign.
I still don't fully understand why Kerry thought it was necessary to go to the Reagan library today. This photo op will enrage some conservatives and alienate some rabid anti-Reagan leftists. But it doesn't disgust me that he went there to pay his respects. It's a nice sentiment - Reagan is so important that even those fundamentally opposed to him feel it necessary to pay respects. It seems to be the wrong time and place for a Senator to pay his respects. Maybe he's going to miss the Congressional ceremony tomorrow to attend his daughter's graduation and didn't want to catch any flak?
Senator Kerry's comments about meeting more with President Reagan than Bush is disgusting, however. Senator Kerry has been AWOL from Washington for most of 2003 and 2004. Did he expect President Bush to fly to Iowa and New Hampshire to kiss Kerry's ring? Give me a break!
"How do we know that the cameraman was Kerry's and not the pool press reporter assigned to cover the Kerry campaign."
They were talking about it on FR earlier today..about how the cameraman came in with Kerry and positioned himself to get a good view of Kerry.
It was noted that NO cameras were supposed to be there - with the exception of C-Span. (Pretty sure C-Span was assigned to cover it).
