WASHINGTON, Sept. 1 /U.S. Newswire/ -- In response to today's outrageous attacks on John Kerry's service by Karl Rove, former Georgia Senator Max Cleland and former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey made the following statements

Senator Max Cleland:

"Karl Rove was behind it all, it's part of his smear campaign to tarnish to tarnish the records and service of Vietnam Veterans, and now he's doing it again. I find it interesting that three different people have had to resign from basically the Bush Campaign and their official duties because of this ad, because they are all tied together."

Senator Bob Kerrey:

"If the question is whether or not there is any independence left between the campaign and these swift boat ads, that question has now been answered. Karl Rove has been in enough political campaigns to understand how separate you need to be from these independent efforts and he just ended that separation. If Ginsberg resigned, so should he."

(At link litany of old accusations follow)

wow... you mean like John Kerry did when he came back from Vietnam? You mean like John Kerry did when he tried to shut down the Swift Boat Vets message?

I LOVE IT. I was thinking about the old bumper sticker from four years ago that read GUCK FORE.

KUCK FERRY is just great. And he looked like a Ferry (fairy) on his windsailing trip this week with no wind. My husband about DIED laughing at him.

And a friend of mine who is a long time friend of George and Laura said....
"I have been telling people that Kerry is foolish to be out in the play field, skiing, surfing, playing hocking, biking and all such fun things. It is wonderful to have married a spouse that can afford him, but this is not the time to show off."

I can already predict the next scrappleface:

"Key Democrat Demands that All Republicans Resign"

Is it true that "U.S.Newswire" is where people place
press releases they can't get anyone else to cover?

Prove it, wheels.

Of course, I can prove your candidate smeared and tarnished all the records and service of Vietnam Veterans...

With his own lying mouth.

(Why should I listen to Max Cleland? Pity?)

From link:

"Rove acknowledges that, in 1970, he used a false identity to gain entry to the campaign offices of Illinois Democrat Alan Dixon, who was running for state treasurer. Once inside, Rove swiped some letterhead stationery and sent out 1,000 bogus invitations to the opening of the candidate's headquarters promising 'free beer, free food, girls and a good time for nothing.'"

Shocking! Appalling! And as recently as 1970!!!

Did Rove actually say anything, or do these whiners just need something to whine about?

I do believe it was in response to a response that was posed to Rove:
Is Kerry's post Vietnam activities fair game?
Bob Kerrey and Max Cleland are Reeeeeeeching here
All the libs on the panel of "Special Report w/ Brit Hume" concur.

Bob Kerrey and Max Cleland sound like Baghdad Bob Bob Kerrey and Max Cleland

I guess they're mostly a bunch of little Napoleons who love to think they can command great and wondrous things simply by demanding them. Buncha twits.

I liked Kerrey also. He spoke out and because of, became out of favor with fellow dem leaders. If I remember correctly, clinton never visited Nabraska.

My take on all this is - Kerrey wants back into the fold.

Good! This is another sign of desperation as is Kerrey's outburst of profanity aimed at the veterans.

They're going nuts, and we've just begun to fight!

speaking of resignations, i think it would be more appropriate for Max C to resign his $136,000 position to which he was appted thanks to the Prez. clearly he is not devoting enough time to said job PAID FOR BY WE THE TAXPAYERS if he has time for such ridiculous and frivolous statements.

Hey, Max: Be careful with those grenades you're throwing our way. One might accidently drop and blow your brains way...OOPS TOO LATE! (but, hey, you should get a Purple Heart anyway even if it was non-combat related).
