Let me get this straight. They hired one of their best junkyard dog press secretaries for this specific scandal in January, and then they accuse the Republicans of "leaking" the story in July???
It makes Kerry look like an idiot too. Apparently the Clintons are still running the show.
you're right it makes Kerry look like an idiot, especially with his stupid "I didn't have a clue" fiasco with Brokaw - it leaves you wondering how well anybody working there (at the Kerry campaign) has been vetted, particularly since Edwards was picked without any practical executive / foreign policy or intelligence experience & his history of weird stuff like new-age "channelling" to juries (something the Wesley Clark gang couldn't believe had gotten by Kerry's advance team). It's not because the Kerry folks are complete & total amateurs when it comes to protecting the nation's security - it's just that, frankly, with their demented view of the country, the military and our values, they just don't really care.
