You must be shitting me, again

From Kicking Ass:

D-Bunking, Kerry/Edwards style
Last week, Ken Mehlman, manager of Bush's reelection campaign, sent a letter to the Kerry/Edwards campaign requesting that they release video of a fundraising concert that took place in Radio City Music Hall on July 7th. Republicans claim that they are "outraged" by some of the language used that night ever since.

Daily Kos readers quickly pointed out the hypocrisy. The Bush/Cheney campaign called for Kerry to condemn remarks made by entertainers — yet they showed no indignation when the Vice President of the United States used the same language on the Senate Floor.

Now, Kerry/Edwards campaign manager Mary Beth Cahill sends her own personal smackdown directly to the Bush-Cheney Campaign:

Over the past several months, allies of the President have questioned John Kerry's patriotism while your staff has criticized his service in Vietnam. Republicans and their allies have gone so far as to launch attacks against his wife and your campaign has run $80 million in negative ads that have been called baseless, misleading and unfair by several independent observers.

Considering that the President has failed to even come close to keeping his promise to change the tone in Washington, we find your outrage over and paparazzi-like obsession with a fund-raising event to be misplaced. The fact is that the nation has a greater interest in seeing several documents made public relating to the President's performance in office and personal veracity that the White House has steadfastly refused to release. As such, we will not consider your request until the Bush campaign and White House make public the documents/materials listed below:

Cahill goes on to list documents related to Bush's military records, Halliburton, Medicare, the prison abuse scandal, and more. She concludes:

We also wanted to wish you a happy anniversary. As we are sure you and the attorneys representing the President, Vice-President and other White House officials are aware, today marks one year since Administration sources leaked the identity of a covert CIA agent to Bob Novak in an effort to retaliate against a critic of the Administration.

In light of the fact that the Administration began gutting the laws protecting the nation's forests yesterday, we hope you will accept the paper on which this letter is written as an anniversary gift. (The one year anniversary is known as the "paper anniversary.")

Check it out for yourself!

Go Mary Beth! I love women who can roll up their sleeves and go at it with the big boys. I love capable women in leadership positions. So you can see why I'm so in love with Mrs. F. Ms. Cahill's significant other is a lucky person, just like me. You know, BTW, that I've nominated Mrs F. for Commerce or Treasury Secretary in the Kerry Administration. I haven't heard back. So on the off chance that anybody from the Kerry campaign reads my blog, take this as a reminder. And don't worry, the only baggage she has is me, and I promise to behave. Honest.
