Tonight we got two political heavyweights: Kerry spokesman Wesley Clark and former
Republican Senate leader Bob Dole...We'll do Iraq and the race for the White House
with these guys of course...
We'll then round out the show with an old fashioned political buzz type segment with
Pat and Dem strategist Tony Coehlo...We're gonna zero in, along with Shuster's
package, on the difference between Bush & Kerry's position on Iraq...We're trying to
figure it out...We watched Kerry's big foreign policy speech in Seattle today and were
none the wiser...
Pls join our show in the quest for the Truth...
Terry Holt stands by comments made on Hardball: "How is pointing out that John Kerry
took a camera to Vietnam questioning John Kerry's patriotism?" said Mr. Holt in an
interview yesterday. "To point out he took a camera to Vietnam and took some good
pictures is a simple statement of fact, and I thought he was proud of those photos -
they appear in every one of his political ads."
