Caroline Kennedy to Bush: Leave My Father Out of Your Campaign
Edited on Sat Oct-30-04 12:05 AM by Jon8503
President Bush invoked the name of John F. Kennedy in a stump speech the other day. In response, JFK daughter Caroline Kennedy Schlossberg issued this statement.

“It’s hard for me to listen to President Bush invoking my father’s memory to attack John Kerry. Senator Kerry has demonstrated his courage and commitment to a stronger America throughout his entire career. President Kennedy inspired and united the country and so will John Kerry. President Bush is doing just the opposite. All of us who revere the strength and resolve of President Kennedy will be supporting John Kerry on Election Day.”

5. FDR's grandson told Bush* to stop using his grandfather's name,

and of course Nancy Reagan earlier told them to leave Ronnie out of the campaign.

I think if they asked nicely, the Nixon sisters might allow him to mention their dad.

:evilgrin:

6. I Totally Agree With Her
Fist of all JFK is a very hallowed name to many millions of americans and for Bush to invoke the name he is cleary trying yet another desperate means to lend credibility to both his campaign and character. But as you know the famous truism; You can't make a silk purse out of a sows ear.
I agree with Caroline. To have Bush mention anyone's name you feel like you need to be decontaminated, Take a bath and put on clean undies. I don't know what is slimier. Bush or moss(algae) growing on still water. Give it a rest Bush. All you're going to do by mentioning the name of JFK is show the grand canyon size difference in him and you. He had class and conviction. You're just a sleaze bucket and that's being kind.
