very issue.
RUSH: One more bite from CNN last night. Wolf Blitzer
and Zell Miller. Wolf said, "You know, when Vice
President Cheney was secretary of defense, he proposed
cutting back the B2 bomber and the F-14 tomcat as
well. I covered him at the Pentagon during those years
when he was raising serious concerns about those two
weapons systems." Zell says, "The record is the
record," and Greenfield, Jeff Greenfield said, "Well,
why did you say in 2001 that John Kerry strengthened
the military? You said that three years ago."
MILLER: (Laughing) Because that was the biographical
sketch that they gave this young senator -- not young
senator, but new senator -- that had come up there,
and all I knew is that this man had a won the Purple
Heart three times and won the Silver Star. Look, I
went back and researched the records, and I looked at
these. When I was putting that speech (text | video)
together, I wanted to make sure that whenever I sat
down with people like you, who would take these
talking points from the Democrats and who also had
covered politics in years, that I would know exactly
what I was talking about, and we don't have time to go
through it on the air but I can go through every one
of those things that we mentioned about where he
voted. Voted against the B1 bomber on October the
15th, '90, and on and on.
RUSH: Now, the reason that people are so excited about
this is this is the way they wish everybody would talk
to the media, when asked these questions. "Hey, look,
I researched this because I knew I was going to be
sitting down with people like you who are going to be
throwing Democrat talking points back at me and I
wanted to make sure I could back up what I was
saying." Hubba hubba.
