SF Chronicle: "A Taste of their own Medicine."
Man, I just love her writing. She is a great columnist.
". . .as Dole said, "Not every one of these people can be Republican liars." Indeed, the Washington Post story also found holes in the Kerry war- hero hagiography and reported that Kerry refused to release documents related to his military record.
Kerry, of course, would not be expected to release this information if he had not made his military tenure the core of his campaign for president.
It shouldn't be this personal, but it is because the race has become all about personality. It's odd: America is at war. Kerry and his fellow Democrats have disagreed with Bush on many aspects of the war. But rather than argue on the big issues, Camp Kerry has focused on nasty little digs. Take Kerry campaign spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter's response to Bush spokesman Scott McClellan's statement that Kerry was "losing his cool" on the Swift boat controversy. Cutter shot back, "Mr. McClellan needs to understand that John Kerry is not the type of leader who will sit and read 'My Pet Goat' to a group of second-graders while America is under attack" -- a shot at Bush for remaining in a Florida classroom for several minutes after learning of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks.
Talk about thin-skinned. I guess that's what happens when you are fed a dose of your own medicine."
Outstanding. Simply outstanding.
