Kerry on Paula Zahn

[sandnsea]

Said Bush and the military need to answer the question of Bush's records and where he was. He doesn't have the facts so he can't make a judgment on it. He's not ducking this, he is addressing it diplomatically. Just so's everybody knows.

2. thanks for the heads up

I wouldn't watch Paula Zahn if my mom was on it, so I'm glad to see Kerry's not pressing this and letting the media run with the story instead of him leading charges against Bush. Smart politics.

3. The candidates don't need to attack Bush the DNC is doing it for them.

That's what the DNC is for, right? After all, it's silly to accuse the party of being too partisan.

6. Sounds like..

exactly what Clark said at the debate, and the media has called Clark's response the fatal flaw which derailed his candidacy.

7. facts

See Kerry said "deserter" is over the top language, because it is, because apparently only regular Army can be charged with desertion. Kerry said the military and George Bush needed to come up with the facts because he didn't have the facts. He stuck it to Bush without sticking it to himself. Clark didn't do that. We call that "nuance".

8. Just curious

Did Paula's utter contempt for all things Democratic show through this time? She's usually quite bad at concealing it.
