Kerry's Senior Staff - The Media Will Cover For Us
Hat tip: Cracker Barrel PhilosopherAccording to a Kerry campaign source, senior campaign advisers tasked two Washington-based campaign staffers to vet the recently published Unfit for Command. Didn't do a very good job, did they? "The purpose was to compare what that book had with what we had on file from Senator Kerry," says the campaign source, who said that the research project developed more than 75 instances where Kerry's recollections, previous remarks, or writings conflicted with the book's reporting. Only 75? The campaign is obviously sloppy. "We took some of the most glaring examples, like the Christmas in Cambodia story, Oh, they noticed that too? and presented them to senior staff, and we assume that those things were put in front of Senator Kerry," says the source. "We haven't heard a word about it. All we were told is that it was being taken care of."
Wait for it.... "the media wouldn't have the nerve to come at us with this kind of stuff," says the source. "The senior staff believes the media is committed to seeing us win this thing, Already admitted to by a Newsweek editor. and that the convention inoculated us from these kinds of stories. The senior guys really think we don't have a problem here." Imagine my surprise. Arrogant jackasses. Posted by: Barbara Skolaut 2004-08-10 |
