When Stahl asked about Kerry flip flops (even played the sound bite - voted for before voted against) - Little John chimed in with, "Jon Kerry served in Viet Nam.

From the text at reply #29........

But it was Kerry himself who handed Republicans their best ammunition for a TV ad when he talked about voting against the Iraq Reconstruction Bill. When asked about this issue, Edwards defended his running mate.

"No. 1, you've been president of the United States for four years. You've spent $80, 90, 100 million on television - almost all of it talking about your not-yet-nominated opponent? What does that say about your administration and its accomplishments," says Edwards.

"Second, flip-flopper? You gotta be kidding me. I mean, a guy who put his life on the line for the men who served with him in Vietnam every day? Ask them what he's made of. Ask them what kind of backbone and courage he has."

"Can I say something? First of all, those very same people never criticized my late husband for his money or his wealth. In fact, they used it - and his money was just dandy," says Teresa Heinz Kerry...He is not a funny Irishman. You know? That's not who he is," says Teresa Heinz Kerry. "I was married before to a wonderful guy who also didn't have that kind of sense of humor. You can't pretend to be what you're not. That doesn't mean that you're not a good person or competent. He is who he is."

Anybody else find it odd that she keeps mentioning her deceased husband???

Edwards: "Second, flip-flopper? You gotta be kidding me. I mean, a guy who put his life on the line for the men who served with him in Vietnam every day? Ask them what he's made of. Ask them what kind of backbone and courage he has."

Bush: OBJECTION! NON-RESPONSIVE, move to strike.

America: sustained.
