I agree with both comments. That sort of joking is against the law in airports, government buildings, etc. It should be against the law for candidates as well. Kerry is so juvenile! But calling attention to the remark will only make the threat to W worse!
That is very true.
Another FReeper turned me on to a book today, "The Secret Service" by Phillip Melanson. In it is told the story of the incredibly large number of thwarted close calls of violence on the President. I must get the book.
Anyhow Kerry will slide for his sick comment.........and the beat goes on.
