Oh my God...Tom Freidman of the NYT has jumped on the Kerry bandwagon...

[shoopnyc123]

>>>I don't know whether to laugh or cry when I hear the president and vice president slamming John Kerry for saying that he hopes America can eventually get back to a place where "terrorists are not the focus of our lives, but they're a nuisance." The idea that President Bush and Mr. Cheney would declare such a statement to be proof that Mr. Kerry is unfit to lead actually says more about them than Mr. Kerry. Excuse me, I don't know about you, but I dream of going back to the days when terrorism was just a nuisance in our lives.>>>

2. OMG that is a great quote!

Why didnt the DNC or Kerry think of this yesterday! Thats an amazing answer.

Well it also shows how out of touch Shrub is! Without 9/11 he has squat to run on!

3. That shocked me, too. He did throw Bush a bone saying he "sympathized"...

... with Bush saying we need to take the terror fight to nation-states which sponsor terrorism.

But overall, it sounded an awful lot like an endorsement of Kerry to me.

4. Nice piece, he's back from the darkside.

Shades of Annekan Skywalker.

5. I like the last part:

"I want a president who can one day restore Sept. 11th to its rightful place on the calendar: as the day after Sept. 10th and before Sept. 12th. I do not want it to become a day that defines us. Because ultimately Sept. 11th is about them - the bad guys - not about us. We're about the Fourth of July."

6. dumbass Friedman still doesn't get it

The war on Iraq and the war on terror is actually a war on the Democratic Party. Ask Max Cleland.
