Powell Calls Skeeryâs Bluff on Boasts
From Wash Times. EFL / Fair Use Like some before him, Kerry snared by large boasts Secretary of State Colin L. Powell yesterday challenged Sen. John Kerry, the likely Democratic nominee, to identify the foreign leaders who he says want to see him elected president. Oh really? Mr. Kerry said last week foreign leaders have told him face to face: "Youâve got to win this one. Youâve got to beat this guy." He said the foreign leaders cannot say so publicly for fear of displeasing the Bush administration. "If he feels it is that important an assertion to make, he ought to list some names," Mr. Powell told "Fox News Sunday." "If he canât list names, then perhaps he should find something else to talk about. I donât know what foreign leaders Senator Kerry is talking about. Itâs an easy charge, an easy assertion to make." Talks the talk. Then tumbles over tongue & ego. As if this is something to actually brag about... Mr. Kerry declined yesterday to name any of those leaders, saying private conversations should stay private. Private enough to cover his ass, he thinks, but not so private that it prevents him from making the claim, however. How, um, convenient! Remember "I invented the Internet!"? Well so do the authors of this article - thereâs a laugh riot of previous stupid statements - just like Skeeryâs - The Artful Dodger. Posted by: .com 2004-03-15 |
