Kerry attacks Bush team as "crooked" and liars
Earlier Wednesday in Chicago, Kerry toughened his comments about his GOP critics after a supporter urged him to take on Bush. "Let me tell you, we've just begun to fight," Kerry said. "We're going to keep pounding. These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group I've ever seen. It's scary."
And now a vocabulary lesson. Because between AWOL, Halliburton, being warned of 9/11, misleading and so forth it seems to be the only thing that comes out when the Dems open their mouths.
