Time to e-mail Jack at CNN again! More inane questions.
Edited on Tue Mar-16-04 07:34 AM by FlashHarry
This time it's, "Should Senator Kerry divulge which foreign leaders are rooting for him."

My response:

Are you guys serious? Who cares which foreign leaders may or may not be rooting for Kerry! I fail to see the importance of this juvenile taunting: “Mommy, Mommy! Senator Kerry won’t tell me who supports him!”

Listen, our economy has been hemorrhaging jobs for three-and-a-half years. We’ve lost over 550 Americans in Iraq, with thousands more severely injured—not to mention the 3,000 innocents slaughtered on September 11. And this is the best that Bush/Cheney can come up with? This would be laughable, if it weren’t so pathetic.

1. Sorry..the link is Drudge, but sometimes he's useful...
GLOBE REPORTER CLAIMS TAPE RECORDED KERRY 'MORE' LEADERS NOT 'FOREIGN' LEADERS; TRANSCRIPTION 'SCREW-UP'

A BOSTON GLOBE reporter at the center of a growing controversy over comments made by John Kerry last week in Florida now claims he "screwed-up" -- and John Kerry never bragged how "foreign leaders" privately backed his presidential bid!



"I mistranscribed a key word," explains Patrick Healy, a political reporter for the BOSTON GLOBE who covered the event in a pool capacity.

because Kerry never denied the claim to the heckler.

but this is what I wrote:

I think the better question would be should George Bush name any leaders that have expressed a desire to see him re-elected… the lack of praise for the Bush administration is deafening and alarming. Foreign leaders who are democratically elected live in fear of publicly praising Bush because he is reviled in most areas of the world for his aggressive and misguided foreign policy and his complete lack of thought regarding global environmental issues.

3. It's amazing how the media loses control over the meaningless
Kerry in two weeks has put up with the wrath of the media over crooked and leader quotes. Is Bush immune? Here's some Jack questions.

1. Should Bush do a town meeting and have to maybe answer a question from a democrat?
2. Does the media have any other messages from Bush other than his now-stale one liners of Kerry being on differing sides of every issue?
The media thinks Bush is Henny Youngman. How about a Jack question? Is Bush funny or a clueless boob?
3. Is Move-on the only group worth the medias wrath?
4. Should Fox be considered a political party and all the money it earns be subjected to IRS scrutiny?
5. Should Kerry and Bush square off in a state wide school sponsered test? Winner takes the Whitehouse.
6. Why does the media think nothing of the fact that the Whitehouse rooms are up for sale for money fat cats? Oh, that was a Clinton thing.

Any other questions for Jack?????????

4. Here's mine
No. It's quite obvious to anyone with common sense that several foreign leaders would be rooting for him. He should not have to break confidence to prove something to George Bush, man of secrecy. If anyone should be divulging information, it should be this administration. Like... who leaked CIA agent Plame's name to the press for retribution? Who was in Cheney's secret energy meetings with you? Why are you so against participating in the 9/11 hearings? Why did you exaggerate the case for war? ETC. The fact that the media glosses over those huge issues and focuses on this completely non-issue makes me sick.
