"Hey Lizzie, shut up and mmffmphm..."

The wife of Democratic vice presidential candidate John Edwards said Monday that Republican criticism of Sen. John Kerry for mentioning Mary Cheney's sexual orientation was a distraction from more pressing issues.
Campaigning in Denver, Elizabeth Edwards also argued that President Bush has tried to politicize the issue of gay rights in pressing for a constitutional amendment to ban same-sex marriage.
``I believe the president has tried to use the constitutional amendment as a wedge issue, instead of addressing things like health care or real reform and attention to our veterans' issues,'' Edwards said.
Mrs. Edwards also said she was upset with the GOP complaints about Kerry's comments in his debate last week with Bush. Republicans have called Kerry remarks inappropriate, and in an interview with The Associated Press Monday, Bush said the statement was ``over the line.''
``I'm distressed that what it did was distract from what should have been a dialogue over issues that should have been raised during the third debate - domestic policy issues like health care and jobs and education,'' Edwards said.

Ouch!
There was a thread here yesterday about the questions at the last debate. Someone heard Sheiffer say that some woman on his staff? asked him BEFORE the debate why he didn't have any "womens" questions and I guess the gay question and/or the last question was in the debate.
The problem is, NO ONE but he was supposed to know the questions ahead of time. Do you think the staff lady just might have told Kerry the questions ahead of time, HM?
The question that made Mary Cheney an issue was asked at the vp debate.
Edawrds was asked, responded, and cheney said thanks.
In Play.
The question was originally posed in the VP debate.
Elizephant Edwards cannot help it...she's got a Pizza Pie and a 2-liter Coke stuffed in her mouth. The more she talks, the more she sinks Gigolo and Silky Pony.
Yes, Mary Cheney has enough class to keep her clothes on when she goes out in public.
A compliment?
Please..................
It was politics.
It's all politics, hardball.
Enjoy the game.
OH yeah, from the group that threw out our troops votes in 2000, and her husband is running with a guy who sold out our troops to the enemy.
Besides that, are these people stupid or what?
"Hey Lizzie, shut up and mmffmphm..."
Why was Kerry answering a question posed to somebody else in a different debate?
Now, now, PD. I love sweets and weigh less than I did on my wedding day 24 years ago :-)
All things considered, I'm glad we're getting the know the real Elizabeth Edwards. She's proof positive that money can buy a lot of things. But it can't buy class.
If they did, Kerry certainly didn't answer the gay question too well.
That makes 2 digs at the VP.
White Guy, you need to get your fact straight. Mary Cheneys name was brought up in the VP debate by her idiot husband. It was just as bad then as Kerry's was. If you watched the VP debate, you would notice that after he brought her name into it, Cheney had 90 seconds to respond. With clenched teeth he SARCASTICALLY ANGRILY thanked him, and when asked refused to use the rest of his time to respond. That DOES NOT MAKE HER 'FAIR GAME'. The idiot dems just went one step to far in trying to push this and Mrs. Edwards was stupid enough to compound the problem.
If Lizwards is so distressed about the commotion placed on the comment because it takes attention away from more "important" issues,
Then Why The He(( does SHE keep mentioning it??!! GAWD, the hypocrisy just oozes out of her corpulence!
The original question made cheney fair game.
don't pretend you don't realize that.
TORT REFORM! TORT REFORM!

True to true.
