Kerry: ABCNews Works for RNC (?)

From the Washington Dispatch
After a disastrous performance tring to explain this story on ABC’s Good Morning America John Kerry ripped the microphone off his lapel in frustration and let go with this.

“God, [ABC is] doing the work of the Republican National Committee.”

When did ABC sign on as a part of the Vast Right Wing Conspiracy?

For those of you who missed it, the transcript is now available.

Matt's Chat

Glenn Reynolds asks if this is a meltdown and I'm not so sure that THIS was the meltdown. Notice the past tense. Kerry's campaign has been a disaster from the beginning. The only thing he had going for him is that he wasn't Howard Dean. That isn't going to help him now that he is squaring off against President Bush. The "Anybody But Bush" crowd isn't large enough to get Kerry elected and he has no new real ideas.

Mark's Remarks


When Liberals Feast on Themselves....I love it...Kerry pulls the whiny victim card again, and it is captured live on sound....When will this guy understand the idea that you don't say stupid things until after they take the mike off? This is twice now...first there was the "dirtiest group of people" comment directed at supporters of Bush; now there is this....I wonder, will Charlie and Diane be so blind to the many Kerry gaffes on the record in the future? I hope not, because there is one thing the media hates: being labelled as working for Republicans, ie, not liberal. I hope there is a huge backlash, because there is little more fun politically than to watch liberals hack each other alive....

Mr. Kerry, if you don't have the stones to take honest criticism of conflicting statements you made, and you don't have the stones to take debate ON YOUR RECORD IN THE SENATE, then why did you enter the race? You don't have the skin for this, you don't have the vision, and you definately don't have the backbone.....
