No apologies
By Jim Dallas
The White House is launching an attack on Sen. John Kerry because he used the f-word in an interview:
In a rare White House rebuke of a Democratic presidential candidate, chief of staff Andrew Card called on U.S. Sen. John Kerry on Sunday to apologize for using a four-letter expletive in an interview lambasting President Bush's Iraq policy.
Kerry was quoted by Rolling Stone magazine as saying, "Did I expect George Bush to f..k it up as badly as he did? I don't think anybody did."
Card criticized Kerry for the using the expletive.
"I've known John Kerry for a long time and I'm very disappointed that he would use that kind of language," Card said on CNN's "Late Edition."
"That's beneath John Kerry. ... I'm hoping that he's apologizing, at least to himself, because that's not the John Kerry that I know," Card added.
Kerry spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter scoffed at the suggestion the senator apologize.
"I could think of a lot of words to add to the one John Kerry used that would be equally appropriate," she said.
"I think the American people would rather Card and the rest of the White House staff spend more time on fixing Bush's flawed policy in Iraq than on Senator Kerry's language."
I for one feel there aren't enough expletives to describe just how badly things are going in Iraq.
But at the very least, it ought to show you where the President's priorities lie. In the words of Kyle's Mom in the South Park movie, "Horrific, deplorable violence is okay, as long as people don't say any naughty words!"

From Tucker Carlson's interview in the 1999 issue of Talk magazine:
"If you're going to fuck me," Bush said, "you'll have to kiss me first."
"They think it's like a high school election, where if you beat up your opponent enough you can win. They've lost their fucking minds."
Bush doesn't even wait for me to finish the question. "I don't care. I really don't care. Does anyone ever say 'Fuck you'? I don't care if they do," he barks.
Hypocrisy is easy to find among Republicans.
Owen,
Maybe you should follow your own smug advice. I didn't address you in my response.
Please note that the article is about the White House attacking Kerry on this. That's the hypocrisy.
Perhaps next time you'll opt not to jump to conclusions, yes?
