Kerry
to Imus: "Nothing to Report" on Drudge Allegations Posted on 02/13/2004 4:49:53 AM PST by governsleastgovernsbest
The question by Imus came only after a sycophantic display of groveling on Imus's part. Imus wrung his hands over the unfair Bush attack machine, worrying whether Kerry is prepared for $200 million in assaults from the Bush campaign. Imus was terribly concerned that the campaign was being distracted from the "real" issues - ie W's perceived weakenesses on the economy and Iraq, to get into military records and other extraneous matters. Only, then in the most ginger[ly] matter, and after announcing that he Imus had endorsed Kerry, did he very cautiously ask whether there would be anything on the Drudge allegations to cause Imus to jump off the Kerry bandwagon. No, assured Kerry, there is "nothing there to report, you don't have to worry, you won't have to take back your endorsement." Imus did add on the air, after the interview, that given his
categorical denial, Kerry would be in big trouble if anything were
later to emerge showing his denial to have been untruthful |
Technically...in Clintonspeak..."There's nothing to report" isn't a denial.
