From the Chicago Sun-Times:
Republicans are suggesting that Sen. Tom Harkin has been pulled from a campaign swing for Sen. John Kerry for calling Vice President Dick Cheney a "coward.""Tour of Honor." Heh.
Kerry's campaign in Wisconsin had been publicizing a "Tour of Honor" featuring Harkin and former Sen. Max Cleland. The Iowa senator was to speak in Eau Claire Thursday but withdrew for "logistical reasons," said Lesley Sillaman of Kerry's Wisconsin campaign.
She denied that Harkin was "pulled from the lineup."
Harkin ripped Cheney after the vice president criticized Kerry about pursuing a "more sensitive war on terror."
"When I hear this coming from Dick Cheney, who was a coward, who would not serve during the Vietnam War, it makes my blood boil," he said.
Harkin's remarks came at a time when the Kerry campaign was calling for civil dialogue.
