NEW YORK -(Dow Jones)- Sen. John Kerry, the losing candidate in the 2004 presidential race, charged Friday that the indictment of Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff was "evidence of White House corruption at the very highest levels."

The statement, which was reported by several news stations, said the continuing investigation of President George W. Bush's top political aide, Karl Rove, was also evidence of corruption.
Kerry said it was "far from the 'honor and dignity' the president pledged to restore to Washington just five years ago."
According to the reports, Kerry said not only was America "misled into war, but a Nixonian effort to silence dissent has now left Americans wondering whether they can trust anything the administration has to say."
Kerry was responding to the indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, the vice president's chief of staff, who was charged with five criminal counts by a federal grand jury that was investigating the leaking of a covert CIA agent's identity.

Senator Kerry said "we should wait and see if these charges are true before making any accusations..."
When is Fitz going to indict Wilson?
You're joking, right?
Well... let's just say I'm 99% certain that this quote will soon be 'factual'.
Kerry is operating under the idiotic belief that the Dem Party might nominate him again in 2008. He doesn't understand that nobody likes LOSERS. There's no way in hell that the Dems are going to nominate the guy who lost to GWB in 2004. This deluded thinking is symptomatic of Kerry's all-consuming vanity that we saw on display often during the 2004 campaign.
(Please FReepmail if you want on, or off, this list. I certainly have no desire to increase anyones stress-level. Thanks!!!)
Newsflash for Sen. Kerry...the election results are in and you still lost.
By putting it this way, Kerry must feel that "honor and dignity" NEEDED to be restored to Washington five years ago. Someone please remind me, did Kerry vote for or against the articles of impeachment (or was that for AND against)?
I hate to down play any kind of wrong doing, but if the worst corruption found in this administration is that an assistant misspoke, he has GOT to be KIDDING!
He must have had his head up Teresa's hind end from 1992-2000 if he is upset at this wrong doing and said nothing during that time.
Hey Kerry, wasn't Sandy Burglar one of your campaign advisors?

John Kerry Outed Undercover CIA Agent
Sen. John Kerry, who called for Karl Rove to be fired over allegations that he revealed the identity of CIA employee Valerie Plame, outed a genuine undercover CIA agent just this past April - even after the agency asked that his identity be kept secret.
Kerry blew the cover of CIA secret operative Fulton Armstrong during confirmation hearings for U.N. ambassador nominee John Bolton.

why yes John Kerry, even as a Governor in TX, he was into screwing America over simply by believing "these lies"?
"One way or the other, we are determined to deny Iraq the capacity to develop weapons of mass destruction and the missiles to deliver them. That is our bottom line." President Clinton, Feb. 4, 1998
"If Saddam rejects peace and we have to use force, our purpose is clear. We want to seriously diminish the threat posed by Iraq's weapons of mass destruction program." President Clinton, Feb. 17, 1998
"Iraq is a long way from [here], but what happens there matters a great deal here. For the risks that the leaders of a rogue state will use nuclear, chemical or biological weapons against us or our allies is the greatest security threat we face." Madeline Albright, Feb 18, 1998
"He will use those weapons of mass destruction again, as he has ten times since 1983." Sandy Berger, Clinton National Security Adviser, Feb, 18, 1998
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." Letter to President Clinton, signed by Sens. Carl Levin, Tom Daschle, John Kerry, and others Oct. 9, 1998
"Saddam Hussein has been engaged in the development of weapons of mass destruction technology which is a threat to countries in the region and he has made a mockery of the weapons inspection process." Rep. Nancy Pelosi (D, CA), Dec. 16, 1998
"Hussein has chosen to spend his money on building weapons of mass destruction and palaces for his cronies." Madeline Albright, Clinton Secretary of State, Nov. 10, 1999
"There is no doubt that Saddam Hussein has reinvigorated his weapons programs. Reports indicate that biological, chemical and nuclear programs continue apace and may be back to pre-Gulf War status. In addition, Saddam continues to redefine delivery systems and is doubtless using the cover of a licit missile program to develop longer-range missiles that will threaten the United States and our allies." Letter to President Bush, Signed by Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL,) and others, Dec, 5, 2001
"We begin with the common belief that Saddam Hussein is a tyrant and a threat to the peace and stability of the region. He has ignored the mandated of the United Nations and is building weapons of mass destruction and the means of delivering them." Sen. Carl Levin (D, MI), Sept. 19, 2002
"We know that he has stored secret supplies of biological and chemical weapons throughout his country." Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"Iraq's search for weapons of mass destruction has proven impossible to deter and we should assume that it will continue for as long as Saddam is in power." Al Gore, Sept. 23, 2002
"We have known for many years that Saddam Hussein is seeking and developing weapons of mass destruction." Sen. Ted Kennedy (D, MA), Sept. 27, 2002
"The last UN weapons inspectors left Iraq in October of 1998. We are confident that Saddam Hussein retains some stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons, and that he has since embarked on a crash course to build up his chemical and biological warfare capabilities. Intelligence reports indicate that he is seeking nuclear weapons..." Sen. Robert Byrd (D, WV), Oct. 3, 2002
"I will be voting to give the President of the United States the authority to use force-- if necessary-- to disarm Saddam Hussein because I believe that a deadly arsenal of weapons of mass destruction in his hands is a real and grave threat to our security." Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Oct. 9, 2002
"There is unmistakable evidence that Saddam Hussein is working aggressively to develop nuclear weapons and will likely have nuclear weapons within the next five years . We also should remember we have always underestimated the progress Saddam has made in development of weapons of mass destruction." Sen. Jay Rockefeller (D, WV), Oct 10, 2002
"He has systematically violated, over the course of the past 11 years, every significant UN resolution that has demanded that he disarm and destroy his chemical and biological weapons, and any nuclear capacity. This he has refused to do" Rep. Henry Waxman (D, CA), Oct. 10, 2002
"In the four years since the inspectors left, intelligence reports show that Saddam Hussein has worked to rebuild his chemical and biological weapons stock, his missile delivery capability, and his nuclear program. He has also given aid, comfort, and sanctuary to terrorists, including al Qaeda members ... It is clear, however, that if left unchecked, Saddam Hussein will continue to increase his capacity to wage biological and chemical warfare, and will keep trying to develop nuclear weapons." Sen. Hillary Clinton (D, NY), Oct 10, 2002
"We are in possession of what I think to be compelling evidence that Saddam Hussein has, and has had for a number of years, a developing capacity for the production and storage of weapons of mass destruction." Sen. Bob Graham (D, FL), Dec. 8, 2002
"Without question, we need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime . He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation ... And now he is miscalculating America's response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction . So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real ..." Sen. John F. Kerry (D, MA), Jan. 23. 2003
Along with other workers at "the agency" who appear unsupervised, and absolutely unaccoutable for the quality of their workmanship.
Seems to me that Kerry has just set himself up for a defamation lawsuit when Libby is found not guilty. Kerry seems to have already tried and convicted Libby by his lack of use of the word 'allegedly.'
'Sen. John Kerry, the losing candidate in the 2004 presidential race'
and still current loser.
Reporter said, Libby said...
Difference of opinion, guess who the liberals believe?
Purjury indictment, all talking heads talking about "outing Plame."
It's amazing.
Another piece of useless drek from Lantern Face.
