Kerry again blasts Judy Woodruff Today-check it out! |
|
WOODRUFF: Well let me ask you about somebody else who is thinking about getting into the race, General Wesley Clark. You said yesterday that he lacks the, quote, "broad lifetime experience"...
SEN. JOHN KERRY (D-MA), PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE: No, I didn't say that. I like Wes Clark...
WOODRUFF: I'm sorry, it was quoted in a newspaper.
KERRY: Things are quoted in newspapers that aren't always correct. What I said was there's a difference between having a lifetime career in one area and having all of the other things that make up the full measure of experience. I didn't criticize him at all. I'm a great admirer of Wes Clark's.
WOODRUFF: Well are you saying he's not qualified to be president?
KERRY: No, I think he carries a certain kind of qualification. But what I bring is a different level of experience. I think it is important to have other kinds of experience, too. But he is a very qualified, very distinguished individual, a friend of mine, I might add, and I will never say anything critical about Wes Clark.
WOODRUFF: So you didn't say that he...
KERRY: I didn't say he lacks the experience. What I said is there's a distinction between the experience that he brings and somebody who has a different set of experiences that they also bring. That's all I said. It's very simple statement.
WOODRUFF: What's next for John Kerry?
KERRY: I'm going to win this race, that's what's next.

I can practically hear the raspberry at the end of that last statement. Go KERRY!

It was good, she tried. But he wasn't having any of it. Handled it very well. And he was actually pretty nice while he did it!

6. "What's next for John Kerry"?!?!?!?! What kind of stupid ass question is |
|
that?
That's what you ask someon who's retiring or quitting. That's a "where do you go now that you've given up your day job" question. That is a stupid media whore's quesiont.
Nice retort from kerry though. I hope his tone of voice suggested how insipid the question was.

10. I Was Thinking Kerry/Clark But |

This seems like he is trying to play up Clark's limitations. He did a nice job of being civil in the face of an uncivil line of questions. Good to see he doesn't throw angry tantrums when things don't go his way. Cool as a cucumber, baby!

"primed" to go before the public whether it be 1 on 1 or before large crowds - or dealing with his peers. This is something that he has proven thru all his years of government service.
I caught some of the debate - too late for me really, but he was fantastic. He was cool as a cucumber standing up there.
on edit - BTW - Judy Woodruff is a smug asshole! She tried to intimidate him and he turned it around - she never saw it coming.

Come on Dr. Funk.. that's the winning ticket! Intelligence, experience and military backgrond coupled with the anti-corporate, southern grown, boy next door. It's a winner!

14. This is the same Judy Woodruff |
|
who, back when she was on McNeill-Lehrer in the 1980s, listened smilingly as Eliot Abrams, slimy apologist for the brutal right-wing governments of Central America and the equally brutal Contras, spouted lies that should have been obvious to anyone who read even the mainstream press. The lies should certainly have been obvious to someone who dealt with the news on a daily basis.
I was into Central America issues, and I have disliked her ever since that day. It is very gratifying to see her put in her place.

I'm glad Senator Kerry is healed up from his surgery and ready to fight back.
