Laura, discussing the attack ads on Kerry’s military service:
TIME: Critics throw out so many charges against the President. Is there any one that you found the most unfair?
BUSH: I think they’re all very unfair. [Laughter.] I really do.
TIME: Do you think these swift-boat ads are unfair to John Kerry?
BUSH: Do I think they’re unfair? Not really. There have been millions of terrible ads against my husband.
George W., on Kerry’s military service:
President Bush said opponent John Kerry’s service was “more heroic” than his during Vietnam, in an interview shown Saturday on NBC News.
“I think him going to Vietnam was more heroic than my flying fighter jets,” said Bush, who served in the Texas Air National Guard. “He was in harm’s way and I wasn’t. On the other hand, I served my country. Had my unit been called up, I would have gone.”
Perhaps the first couple should iron out their position here.
Now wait… I thought it was okay for the wife to say what she thought? Isn’t that what everyone says about Teresa?
CJ,
There’s a qualitative difference in a wife speaking her mind by saying “shove it” to a reporter and a wife questioning the service her husband says is honorable.
