Delayed just enough after the speech to make it look like it wasn't prepared beforehand...

WASHINGTON, Sept. 15 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Below is a statement from Senator John Kerry on President Bush's address tonight on the devastation of Hurricane Katrina:

"Leadership isn't a speech or a toll-free number. Leadership is getting the job done. No American doubts that New Orleans will rise again, they doubt the competence and commitment of this Administration. Weeks after Katrina, Americans want an end to politics-as-usual that leaves them dangerously and unforgivably unprepared. Americans want to know that their government will be there when it counts with leadership that keeps them safe, not speeches in the aftermath to explain away the inexcusable."
Like you would have done better. Sorry, Senator Serotta, you're still not getting the 2008 nomination...

#9  This is obviously a crude forgery. There's no reference to Sen. Kerry's service in Vietnam. Every genuine John Forbes Heinz-Kerry statement of more than ten or twelve words has the word "Vietnam" in it somewhere; everybody knows that!

#6  "Criticism. General condemnation of the Administration. Vague insinsuation that things could be better in a non-specific way. Unverified claim about what Americans want. Pandering to fear. And finally, righteous indignation."

Yours truly,

John Kerry
