Lockhart Statement on "Major Speech"

Washington, DC – Kerry-Edwards campaign Senior Advisor Joe Lockhart released the following statement today on the president’s speech in New Jersey, which the Bush campaign has billed as a “major address:”

“What the Bush campaign considers to be a major address provides a telling window into this President and his priorities: He considers a nasty, vitriolic attack line to constitute a significant address. What might have been new and significant would have been the President addressing a health care crisis that has forced New Jersey to hold a lottery to decide who should get flu shots. But no, that would involve being straight with the American public and taking responsibility for his Administration’s inaction.”

To add my own note -- this site is especially hysterical today.

1. The Cable News Networks............

let him get away with it time after time though. Gee, it's almost if they WANT Geroge Bush to win again! That wouldn't do that, would they? :puke:

15. CorpNN didn't let him get away with it

they were part of the rove media plan all along.

2. Hollbrook was on faux news right after the speech

and really ripped into the faux lady martha something. Said something like are you gonna answer your own questions, are you gonna let me talk, etc. It was a sight to see

4. you just beat me to it!

16. Holbrooke is getting really good at putdowns

He hates it when the talking heads invite him on supposedly to talk foreign policy, then ask him silly campaign questions.

3. Richard Holbrooke was on Fox after the speech

and he just laid out the bimbo reporter in that casual way he always does. "Well why ask your question if you just want to answer it yourself?" "Would you like me to answer or do you want to offer your opinion to your viewers again?"

He's so great on that newtork. And he has the brains and the swiftness of tongue to get away with it.
