The video of McCain and Bush from Feb of 2000 must have been the Larry King debate just before the SC primary. In the debate they sat around a table and conducted a casual "debate".
If this is so, I remember that when McCain brought up the negative campaigning, Bush held up a flyer which he said smeared him and had been put on cars in parking lots in SC. I don't remember the content, but he made it clear they both had grievances. Unfortunately....to the loser goes the right to play victim! Never mind what the McCainiacs tried to do to Bush in SC.
So the question is.....did McCain sign off on Kerry's use of the footage? My guess is probably not. They have CNN snitches who probably supplied it and since the Senator still lives off his anger they're counting on him to say "no comment".
You are exactly right. I don't suppose they put that part in, did they?
