Elizabeth Edwards.....Secret Weapon?

[No2W2004]

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - Using blunt, dismissive language, John Edwards wife said Wednesday the Bush administration has done little to make the nation safer since the terror attacks of Sept. 11, 2001.

Quoting a phrase that President Bush used frequently in the first presidential debate, she said, "'The world has changed since 9/11.....Well, duh. The world has changed, and you need to do something about it," she said.

"This is not an administration that has made candor with the American people their hallmark. The American people deserve an administration that will tell them the truth," she said.

She said too little money — or none — is being spent to secure the border with Canada, to inspect shipping containers at ports and to improve security on trains, subways and at chemical and nuclear plants.

"This is not fear-mongering," she said. "It's being honest with you. ... Look at your government and see if they're protecting you."



I can't even begin to picture either of the stepford wives speaking so candidly...

3. I love Elizabeth and Teresa

Elizabeth's blog contributions on johnkerry.com are great. Teresa is amazing. How can you not think highly of two men like JK and JE when they were smart enough to get women like that to marry them.

5. I also believe our Coast Guard is underfunded...

...and undermanned. These folks do such vital work for our country yet they are perennially short-changed in terms of funding, ships and personnel. I used to work at the shipyards in Norfolk and never met a bunch of more dedicated pros than those in our USCG. If they aren't our first defenders I don't know who is.

6. She confronted liar Cheney onstage after debate last night

After reminding him of their previous meeting, Cheney reportedly said "oh, yeah".
