Bush Twists Kerry's Words on Iraq

WACO, Texas Jennifer Loven (AP)- President Bush opened several new scathing lines of attack against Democrat John Kerry, charges that twisted his rival's words on Iraq and made Kerry seem supportive of deposed dictator Saddam Hussein.

It was not unlike the spin that Kerry and his forces sometimes place on Bush's words. [emphasis added -ed.]

Sometimes? Sometimes!? Senator Kerry, in his midnight hissyfit at the conclusion of the RNC, told his supporters that Vice President Cheney had said that he was unfit for command. Which he did not. And that's just one example that came to my early morning pre-caffeine mind.

Senator Kerry has repeatedly accused the Bush camp of questioning his patriotism and his service in Vietnam. Which they have never done. I never see that getting straightened out by the media. It doesn't matter what they actually say.

They could say, "The Senator's voting record in the Senate suggests that he's weak in defense." And Senator Kerry will cry that they're questioning his patriotism and his service in Vietnam.

They could say, "The Senator's position changes on all manner of key issues." And Senator Kerry will cry that they're questioning his patriotism and his service in Vietnam.

Hell, they could say, "The Senator's got a mighty nice haircut." And Senator Kerry will cry that they're questioning his patriotism and his service in Vietnam.

Here's a quarter, Jennifer Loven. Go buy yourself a clue.
