Kerry demands apology from "opinionated" first lady
2004-08-31

(2004-08-30) -- Democrat presidential candidate John Forbes Kerry today demanded an apology from First Lady Laura Bush for remarks that implied support for TV ads by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth which are critical of Mr. Kerry's 1971 'atrocity' testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

"In a word, Laura Bush is opinionated," said Mr. Kerry. "And I don't think America wants a First Lady who shoots from the hip, speaks her mind and essentially tells the world to shove it."

Mr. Kerry, a Vietnam veteran and distinguished anti-war protestor who is also a U.S. Senator, said he was "emotionally devastated" by Mrs. Bush's comment and called on President George Bush to "stop hiding behind surrogates and right wing attack dogs."

#4  So, anyone heard any words from Teresa Heinz Kerry, or did they finally get the custom muzzle to fit right? I have not heard a word from her in weeks.

#3  This time, I was actually surprised when I saw it was from Scrappleface; as a news item, it would have been quite in line with reality.

#2  Just the opposite here. I thought it was real until I saw the Scrappleface tag. We are living in interesting times.

#1  I'm relieved. For weeks now I've been looking at Rantburg topics thinking "must be ScrappleFace" only to find that reality is past satire. Glad to see some plain old satire. Until Kerry launches an attack on Laura Bush, that is.
