political attack?
Q Scott, going back to Kerry at the Unity Convention. Evidently, it seems to be
the first time that he's actually criticized the President's handling on the
morning of 9/11, when he was at that school in Florida and took those five to
seven minutes to finish his reading to those children there. Kerry said how he
would have handled it would have been to excuse himself, and said, I have
matters to attend to. Is that a fair criticism of the President by Senator
Kerry?MR. McCLELLAN: Like I said, I haven't seen this conference. I would
want to take a look at what he said, but it sounds just more like -- it sounds
like more of the same kind of political attacks he's been engaging in, rather
than trying to defend his record and discuss the issues, and the differences on
those issues.
Now, I'm not sure how that particular criticism is a political attack. It's more like, what, laying out a situation and depicting how it would have been handled differently if he were in that situation -- or more succinctly, one specific way he differs from dear leader. Too bad there weren't any follow ups. Is it too early for Bushmills?
