DEMOCRATS SAY THE DARNDEST THINGS! Dee Dee, playing a Dem on TV, trashed Kerry for his wind-surfing: // link //

Myers, of course, is former press secretary to President Clinton, a Democrat. She was on Tuesday evening’s show as a Democrat, balanced by Republican stalwart Jack Kemp. But in today’s culture, Democrat pundits mouth GOP points. Early on, Matthews asked Myers about the attacks that have been killing her champion:


MATTHEWS (9/7/04): Well, let me ask Dee Dee about these three charges against Kerry which have been consistently made for months now, not just in August. That he’s indecisive—he voted for the $87 billion before he voted against it, he was for the war and the resolution, against supplying the troops. That he’s unreliable, because there are so many questions raised about his war service, questions—attacks about his anti-war testimony in the Senate in 1971. And the fact that he just seems so damn aloof.

There was nothing really wrong with that question, except for the fact that it had several parts. Matthews listed familiar attacks against Kerry—attacks that have helped define this White House campaign. But a Democrat could have gone to town with these charges. For example, here’s what Myers—a Democrat, we’re told—could have said:

(what she actually said)

MYERS (continuing directly): Yes, I think you’re right. Those have all been effective attacks against Senator Kerry. He hasn’t done as good a job as he should have or needed to in rebutting them. I don’t think it helps to see pictures of him wind-surfing. I mean, why not a game of pick-up basketball someplace?

MYERS (continuing directly): I mean, he does play other sports that actually involve other people at times. So—

(and she goes on and on and they both end up joking)

1. She was a lousy White House spokesperson

and probably still harbors a grudge against the Big Dog. As does "Judas" Stephanopolous.

2. But at least Judas doesnt pose as a Dem pundit.

Dee Dee is your run of the mill cable "democrat/liberal". You know, like Pat Cadell, Clarence Page etc.

3. I SAW THAT ON HARDBALL.....

and after watching that I could not sleep that night...it made me so mad...Kerry gets attacked by Bush and his thugs, as well as the mainstreem media, and now by his surrogates? WTF? Windsurfing is a big issue to an alleged Kerry supporter/surrogate? The question to her from Tweety was full of flaws and could easily be debunked and DD Myers does not to defend Kerry....hey DD Tweety and Jack Kemp are onthe show to attack Kerry and you were on to defend him! Sheeesh!

4. He should try recreational Drunk Driving like Ms. Myers has.

She and Bush have that in common.
