KERRY CAMPAIGN: SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL
The Kerry campaign is getting more and more desperate.
Now comes word that a Kerry spokesman is criticizing top Republican officials for getting flu shots (“Cheney Got Flu Shot, Aides Say, Citing Heart Issue“). Reuters quotes the Kerry campaign as follows:
The Kerry campaign accused the Bush administration of “telling Americans to keep calm” while top officials like [Vice President Dick] Cheney and Treasury Secretary John Snow get their flu shots.
“Once again the Bush administration proves that it is the ‘Do as we say, not as we do’ White House,” Kerry campaign spokesman Phil Singer said.
Drudge is saying that Senate Majority leader Bill Frist’s decision to get vaccinated has also come under fire by the Kerry team.
There’s only one teensy-weensy problem with the Kerry campaign’s argument: Cheney, Snow, and Frist are all high-risk as defined by the CDC. Cheney has heart disease. Frist is a practicing physician. (According to this article, Frist spends many weekends practicing at free clinics in Washington DC and in Tennessee.) Snow is 65 years old.
If Kerry has any integrity he will retract his staffer’s smear and promptly apologize to Cheney, Snow, and Frist.
Update: The New York Daily News reports that Bill Clinton got his flu shot (“Flu gotta have connections!”). Still waiting for a condemnation from Kerry.
Drumwaster’s Rants writes, “Ugh…if this is the best this “campaign” can do, it’s all over.”
