| Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., dueled with President Bush over taxes and the economy Wednesday and then, in an impromptu comment to factory workers in Chicago, called the Republicans "the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen," triggering an angry denunciation from Bush's campaign.
Wednesday night, Bush campaign chairman Marc Racicot called Kerry's statement "unbecoming of a candidate for the presidency of the United States of America" and called on Kerry to apologize. "On the day that Senator Kerry emerged as his party's presumptive nominee, the president called to congratulate him," Racicot said. "That goodwill gesture has been met by attacks and false statements." |
In other words, it is "unbecoming of a candidate for the presidency of the United States" to speak the truth frankly.
And, our guy is the nice one. (Remember Eddie Haskell?)
| Earlier, Kerry communications director Stephanie Cutter said the Democratic candidate had no regrets about his characterizations of the opposition. "Not at all," she said. "There's been a pretty high level of Republican attack machine working for the last four years for the sole purpose of smearing the Democrats. We're trying to make this campaign about issues; Republicans are making it about attacks." |
Good response.
But then, what else do the Republicans have to work with?
