Reply #10: Stop. Really.

The Repugs WANT THIS to be a big deal to distract from the debate. They are salivating over this. And it's nothing. So don't allow it to be something; focus, if anything, on the fact that the Repugs are blowing it out of proportion, and focus on the kind words that Kerry had for Mary Cheney because that is what they were; kind words.

Kerry did nothing wrong here. Absolutely nothing. That is why they are in such turmoil.

So I say, let's forget the Repug spin, and if we are going to even mention this at all, or even acknowledge it, prop it up as the kind, thoughtful, respectful words of John Kerry in reference to Mary Cheney, and that's all.
