Anyone else pissed at Bob Kerry?

[Sterling]

I think he looked terrible escusing himself from the interview with W and Dick. He said "Hey this is a part time job!"

He could have at least pretended like the comission was more than a whitewash dog and pony show.

This has been a very disapointing week for the Democratic Party in general. Kerry is gone way Bush light and it is clear the election is more of a campaigne to promote huge military budgets than a serious contest of ideals.

1. I don't think I understand what you are saying. I thought that maybe

it could be a protest. Like why sit there if you are being played as a fool.

[k in IA]

4. It wasn't a protest. That would have made sense if something happened

to protest.

[MoonRiver]

7. How do you know what happened?

No oath; no tape recording; no transcript...

Need I say more?

[k in IA]

9. If it was a protest wouldn't he say it was?

[MoonRiver]

12. Maybe not.

This "conversation" was supposed to never leave those 4 walls.

[Warpy]

10. Exactly

You can bet your bottom dollar they had cleared their calendars for the event, on the off chance Dubya would be having one of his stupider days and let something slip. I think what probably happened is that Bushcheney ran out the clock with canned speeches like the rest of the junta tried to do, and Kerrey and Hamilton just got fed up and went home to clip their toenails or something.

[k in IA]

16. If that is what happened they need to somehow get that out.

Did anyone see what he said on Blitzer?

[k in IA]

2. Yes, I'm ticked at Bob Kerrey. It was so stupid. It put down the

importance of the commission not disses *.

(edited to add the extra "e" to Kerrey)

3. It just doesn't make sense to me

His excuse is he had a meeting with Senator Dominci--like the Senator was more important than this meeting? Something is very fishy about this whole thing. Kerrey is a smart politician, he knew if he left early this would only give fodder to the right wing and their crusade to prove the commission is a partisan exercise. Also, Lee Hamilton left as well--now what would make one of the chairs of the commission leave before the interviews were over? Prior engagements? Something really stinks about this.

5. K-E-R-R-E-Y

and yes...but I expected as much. I've not been teribly impressed with Bob Kerrey on the commission at all.

[samadhi]

6. not really oissed.

The whole commission has been a whitewash from the start and all of them are in on it.

[Sterling]

11. They are not even trying to make it look otherwise.

Well I do think they validated enough of the facts that people are now understanding that 9-11 as we know it is a lie. It is up to the activist to help people fill in the blanks left by the comish.

[trof]

8. He fawned all over Bush* on CNN.

I do not know why.

[Nashyra]

13. Today I was listening to MSNBC

and heard two radio announcer going at it and one of them was arguing that they really left because the * was not answering or giving them anything new.

[SlavesandBulldozers]

14. i think it was a great move, personally

make it look like tea-time is more important than meeting with the puppet and his master.

[TacticalPeek]

15. Absent provocation (initial reports blahblah),

Lee and Bob blundered bigtime.

:shrug:

[orwell]

17. President Kerry or Bust

Kerry is gone way Bush light and it is clear the election is more of a campaigne to promote huge military budgets than a serious contest of ideals.

Bush light? Can I have a double of whatever you've been drinking.

If you've read any of Kerry's lengthy position papers you wouldn't be uttering such nonsense. There is miles of difference between these two men. Character, intelligence, integrity, experience - there really is no comparison.

Bush might make a good president of a semi-pro baseball team in west Texas.

Kerry would be a magnificent President of the United States.

[Sparkly]

18. Thank you

I agree.

19. Wolf Interview With Bob Kerrey (transcript)

http://www.cnn.com/TRANSCRIPTS/0404/30/wbr.00.html

I thought it was a very disappointing appearance. If his actions were a protest, it sure didn't come off like that. He was dessed casually and didn't seem to want to be bothered by the whole matter.

All IMO.
