This and that: Ed Scultz discussing Kerry on 6/19

Ed Schultz just had a promo ad on my local AAR station. He said he is going to discuss what Rove called Kerry in Rove's NH speech last week. This could be interesting. Schultz didn't say he was interviewing Kerry, but who knows.

The Post applauded President Bush’s courage in continuing an open-ended commitment to an American military presence in Iraq and disparaged what it termed political expediency on the part of Sen. John F. Kerry (D-Mass.) in calling for a reasonable timetable for phased withdrawal of our forces <”A Boost From Mr. Bush,” editorial, June 14>.

Mr. Bush’s political capital is waning because he misled Congress and the American people, because we have experienced 21,000 American casualties as a result, because a mere 23 percent of the world’s people respect our nation, because he has no strategy worth the title, and because he is responsible for a military and foreign policy disaster. To “stay” an undefined and unlimited “course” may demonstrate many things but it does not demonstrate courage.

Having acknowledged the error in trusting Mr. Bush’s arguments for war, Mr. Kerry has demonstrated the real courage in proposing a realistic plan to extricate our troops from a nation whose people no longer want us there and which is now capable of achieving democracy on its own.

6 p.m. FOGARTY CAMPAIGN _

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., a former presidential candidate, appears for the grand opening of Lt. Gov. Charlie Fogarty’s campaign headquarters. Fogarty is running for governor.

Location: Fogarty Campaign Headquarters, 239 Atwells Ave., Providence

Contacts: Adam Bozzi (Charlie Fogarty for Governor), 401-331-4468

I suspect he'll be a bit late getting to Providence for 6:00 PM, unless he's flying.

Okay, that was too much snark. But, yeah, unless they are flying, which is a possible, then rush hour will preclude being on time. There's a shocker! (Snark, again.)

Big Eddie say that Kerry would be on the show some time this week.

I'd advise everyone to listen in to be on the safe side!
