Kerry Missed 38 Out Of 48 Intelligence Committee Meetings
RUDY GIULIANI, FMR. NEW YORK CITY MAYOR: John Kerry would work "tirelessly" to deal with intelligence and to deal with the recommendations of the September 11th Commission? Well, you've got to look at what people do, not what they say.
John Kerry was on the Intelligence Committee for a large part of his career in the United States Senate. He missed 38 out of 48 meetings. He was absent for them.
John Edwards has been on for a short while. He's missed four of eight meetings of the Intelligence Committee, even since September 11.
So this interest in saying that they're going to prosecute the war on terrorism as effectively as President Bush certainly is belied by -- by the way in which they've acted in the past.
President Bush, on the other hand, announced his purpose of destroying to the best that we can global terrorism, saying it would take four or five years to do it, and sticking with it when it's been popular and sticking with it when it's been unpopular, which is really the sign of a really true leader.
Even the Left Bashes 'Botox' Kerry
The latest from liberal Sam Smith's Progressive Review...with "Notes" on the Democrat Convention:
Just bear in mind that there is no Botox for the soul.
Kerry is your classic Washington Ivy League preppy hustler who gets ahead by substituting gravitas for achievement and, in Russell Baker's phrase, letting solemnity serve for seriousness.
He has done little in the Senate, produced few bills of significance, and even missed most of his intelligence committee hearings.
He is arrogant, narcissistic, and so self-serving that he even filmed reenactments of his Vietnam exploits for future use.
He is wrong on Iraq, healthcare, education, the Middle East, and the Patriot Act and when he is right he doesn't say it very well.
