Yeah, Right, Whatever

Recently, the Maja Rushie brought to everyone's attention a quote from Senator John Kerry in which he basically called US soldiers terrorists. Here's the quote (taken from Rush's site):

JOHN KERRY: I don't agree with that. But I think what we need to do is recognize what we all agree on, which is, you've got to begin to set benchmarks for accomplishment; you've got to begin to transfer authority to the Iraqis, and there is no reason, Bob, that young American soldiers need to be going into the homes of Iraqis in the dead of night, terrorizing kids and children, you know, women, breaking sort of the customs of the -- of -- of -- of -- historical customs, religious customs, whether you like it or not. Iraqis should be doing that. And after all of these two and a half years, with all -- (emphasis Rush's)

Rush used an audio clip, and did not put any words into Senator Kerry's mouth. What he said is what went over the airwaves.

How did Senator Kerry's spokesperson respond to that? (found on Drudge's main page... will add link when it gets a permanent page)

Statement by Kerry spokesman David Wade: 'Ken Mehlman’s filthy and shameful lie about a decorated combat veteran is disgraceful. Political hack Ken Mehlman and draft dodging, donut eating Rush Limbaugh have something in common. Neither of them know anything about how to make American troops safe. John Kerry will continue to speak out about how to succeed in Iraq and protect brave American troops'...

Wow, Mr. Wade. You sure showed them. I mean, you couldn't actually defend Kerry's statements, so you just call Ken Mehlman and Rush Limbaugh names... innacurate names, at that. That will teach Rush to ever bring to light any of your boss's inane ramblings.
