Kerry's retort to Bush: Leadership isn't a toll-free number


SENATOR KERRY (D-MA) ISSUED THIS REBUTTAL TO RAW STORY JUST AFTER BUSH'S SPEECH....

"Leadership isn't a speech or a toll-free number. Leadership is getting the job done. No American doubts that New Orleans will rise again, they doubt the competence and commitment of this Administration.

Weeks after Katrina, Americans want an end to politics-as-usual that leaves them dangerously and unforgivably unprepared.

Americans want to know that their government will be there when it counts with leadership that keeps them safe, not speeches in the aftermath to explain away the inexcusable."

2. True true and true...
To bad other dems are picking up on it, and to bad people are just going to shuffle his response into "Take a break JK, you lost, let us deal with it now, which means, shit down and shut up"...it seems a few people think that way about JK. I could care less, what he is saying is true, and truth, no matter who says it, is truth.

3. Particularly an 800 number that won't go through.

4. Or publicized to an audience that doesn't have TV.
What absurdity.

5. That's a great slogan for 06 and 08. Let's use it to our advantage
