Kerry's profanity earns rebuke from Bush

Yahoo! News - Kerry's Profanity Gets Bush's Attention
: "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.' "


this speaks very well to my previous discussion about language. Bush is concerned about language but is not concerned with his own administration's lying to get us into war. What is exactly the obscenity here? How nice for the White House to focus on the f-word, but ignore morality, honesty, and integrity.

John Kerry should not have to apologize to this man. He, nor any democrat, should have to apologize to this GOP who continually questions the patriotism of everyone but themselves. Kerry fought for this country, as did Max Cleland and Wes Clark. How dare someone who lied his way through the Vietnam conflict question a veteran's patriotism? Disagree with his policy? Absolutely. But don't you dare define patriotism by GWB! John Kerry had it right.
