Good attack by Bush on Kerry. He left himself open for this one. DUBYA FIRES WHOOPI WEAPON AT FOE By DEBORAH ORIN - NY Post July 14, 2004 -- DULUTH, Minn. — President Bush yesterday tagged rival John Kerry as an "out-of-the-mainstream" Hollywood liberal by pointing to last week's New York fund-raiser in which Whoopi Goldberg reeled off an X-rated Bush-bashing rant. "The other day my opponent said, when he was with some entertainers from Hollywood, that they were the heart and soul of America," Bush told crowds in the Democratic but socially conservative towns of Marquette, Mich., and Duluth. "I believe the heart and soul of America is found in places right here," Bush added to cheers from two giant crowds as he sought to move the values debate to the center of the race. On the eve of a Senate test on banning gay marriage, Bush added: "We stand for institutions like marriage and the family that are the foundations of our society." Up at the top of the stands of a Marquette stadium stood four kids proudly holding a long white banner with red and blue letters that proclaimed: "We are the heart and soul of America." Kathleen Erikson, 57, said she was so angry at Kerry's claim that "those type of people" are America's soul that she made the banner. Last Thursday, Goldberg led the way in crude Bush- bashing at a $7.5million Kerry fund-raiser by reeling off vulgar sexual word-plays on Bush's name while other performers blasted him as a killer and "cheap thug." Right afterward, Kerry got up on the stage at Radio City Music Hall and said all the performers showed "the heart and soul of our country." The Duluth Superior newspaper yesterday called on Kerry to apologize. NEW YORK POST
