John Kerry Tells A Whopper "After an Earth Day ceremony, Senator Kerry told a group of children that he never had asthma until he moved to Washington. He claimed that D.C. pollution prompted him to use an inhaler. Well, nobody had ever heard of this before, and since everybody is concerned about a presidential candidate's health, they looked into it. (Kerry just had prostate surgery, after all, from which we wish him a speedy recovery.) This asthma hubbub had to be dehubbubbed, so in an interview afterwards Kerry did what the press calls "clarified his remark." That's what the press calls it when a Democrat admits he lied. Were he a Republican, it would be said that Kerry "tried to backpedal." The Boston Globe: "In an interview afterward, Kerry clarified his remark by explaining that he used an Albuterol inhaler for common springtime allergies, but his condition is not serious enough to limit his physical activity. 'I rarely use it; I haven't used it in months.'" He's just so full of it - and I don't mean ketchup. (RushLimbaugh.com) Fundraising Over Funeral UPDATE (PunditReview) Yesterday when we covered the fact that would-be president John Kerry skipped a fallen soldiers funeral for a fundraiser we wondered aloud, "He's not going to argue that he was talking about veterans benefits is he? He wasn't exactly debating it on the Senate floor. It was a rubber chicken dinner that occurs hundreds of time during the course of a campaign." We were wrong, he is going to equivocate between a meaningless speech and a soldiers funeral. Kerry spokesman Tony Wyche said yesterday, "Kerry was not fund-raising, but launching a policy initiative on prescription- drug reform for veterans." That is simply astounding. Who should know better than Kerry, a decorated Vietnam veteran, the sacrifice of young Matthew Boule, 22 of Dracut. "Launching a policy initiative" at a rubber chicken dinner took priority over the soldiers funeral. AMAZINGLY POOR JUDGMENT. Spokesman Wyche claimed that Kerry "spoke to the family to express his condolences". What did he say exactly, "I'm sorry about your son and all but I'm behind that lightweight John Edwards in fundraising and I'll be in Arizona raising money." Cash and Kerry (OpinionJournal.com) Presidential candidate John Kerry says he'll make a campaign issue of Republican plans to spend $200 million to re-elect President Bush. The Massachusetts senator says, as the Boston Globe puts it, that such spending "would confirm the party as the handmaiden to the wealthiest Americans." Kerry says he may combat Republican wealth with . . . Republican wealth. Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry--widow of Pennsylvania's Sen. John Heinz, a Republican ketchup heir who perished in a plane crash a decade ago--is worth a cool $550 million, and he says he may dip into her fortune to finance his campaign, despite having told the Washington Post just last month that he'd do no such thing. punditreview.com
