The Drudge Report notes this exchange from Larry King's interview with John Kerry last night:
King: <font color=blue>Tom Ridge warned today about al Qaeda plans of a large-scale attack on the United States, didn't increase the--do you see any politics in this? What's your reaction?<font color=black>
Kerry: <font color=blue>Well, I haven't been briefed yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me; I just haven't had time.<font color=black><font size=4>
We can relate! After all, there are only so many hours in a day, and it takes a lot of time to run for president. Why just last night, Kerry not only talked to Larry but attended a fund-raising concert at New York's Radio City Music Hall, where, as the New York Post reports, Whoopi Goldberg <font color=blue>"delivered an X-rated rant full of sexual innuendoes against President Bush":
Waving a bottle of wine, she fired off a stream of vulgar sexual wordplays on Bush's name in a riff about female genitalia, and boasted that she'd refused to let Team Kerry clear her material.
"I Xeroxed my behind and I folded it up in an envelope and I sent it back with a big kiss mark on because we're Democrats--we're not afraid to laugh," she said. . . .
Kerry could be seen laughing uproariously during part of Goldberg's tirade --and neither he nor Edwards voiced a single objection to its tone when they spoke to the crowd.
They hailed the fund-raiser as a great event.
Edwards said it was "a great honor" to be there and insisted, "This campaign will be a celebration of real American values."

You can understand why Kerry doesn't have time to worry
about a little thing like terrorism. He's too busy
celebrating <font color=blue>"real American values."<font color=black><font size=3>
