Did anybody see Andrew Card saying Cheney should apologize for swearing?
Oh, wait, that was Kerry he was talking about:

WASHINGTON (AP) — John Kerry used profane language to assess President Bush's Iraq policy, and Bush's chief of staff said Sunday the Democratic presidential candidate was out of line.

The Massachusetts senator uttered a profanity in an interview in the latest Rolling Stone magazine to express his dismay over Bush's handling of Iraq.

...

The expletive drew a rebuke from White House, which suggested an apology might be in order.



Hypocrite....thy name is Republican.

2. Hypocricy in action
The expletive drew a rebuke from White House, which suggested an apology might be in order.

"That's beneath John Kerry," the president's chief of staff, Andrew Card, said on CNN's Late Edition.

"I'm very disappointed that he would use that kind of language," Card said. "I'm hoping that he's apologizing at least to himself, because that's not the John Kerry that I know."

The Kerry campaign said the Massachusetts senator had no regrets.

"John Kerry saw combat up close, and he doesn't mince words when it comes to politicians who put ideological recklessness ahead of American troops," said spokeswoman Stephanie Cutter. "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 Sen. Kerry's language."


Pot. Kettle. Still black.

3. good point!
Heard Fred Barnes etc. trying to justify Cheney's remarks. Really sad to see how it is OK for cheney to say this, but what a big issue they made about Kerry....not presidential material. You are sooooo right about the hypocrites.
