We need to attack
This morning on MSNBC, Sen. John Kerry (D-MA) apologized for his comments on Monday. "Of course I'm sorry for the botched joke," he said, calling his comments "pretty stupid."About hour later, Tony Snow said the following on CNBC:
All you have to do is say, I apologize. I said something, it came out wrong, I'm sorry. And instead, what Sen. Kerry has done, is he's tried to whip it into a big thing...That's exactly what Kerry has said. According to the White House, the story is over.
The way you get rid of this story is by hitting back hard, and that's exactly what Democrats - from Kerry to 2006 candidates - need to do. It's easy: "White House press secretary Tony Snow flat-out lied about what John Kerry has said. The White House needs to explain how the president's press secretary could make a partisan political attack against John Kerry for not saying something Kerry already said. If the White House can't explain why its press secretary knowingly lied, Tony Snow needs to resign."
That's just what I came up with in con law. We need to get on this and fast.
