Come Out, Come Out Wherever You Are

Charles Hurt of the Washington Times has pointed out an interesting milestone of this campaign:
Today marks the one-month point since Sen. John Kerry last answered questions from reporters traveling with him on the campaign trail.
The last time the Democratic presidential nominee took questions from them was Aug. 9 on the edge of the Grand Canyon, when the small traveling press pool accompanying him was allowed to ask eight questions.
And the last time Mr. Kerry held a full-fledged press conference where he faced questions from the entire corps of national reporters covering his campaign was Aug. 2 in Grand Rapids, Mich. He took two questions then.
What could John Kerry be hiding from? Is he worried about having to address the claims made by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth? A number of their allegations have proven to have merit, even the Navy is probing the issue of Kerry’s medals now… Clearly, John Kerry, who has made a “promise” to hold monthly news conferences if he were elected President is aware of his own weaknesses in answering questions. His performances in handling tough questions has been hardly exemplary:
Since early August, the only substantive policy question Mr. Kerry has answered was one lobbed at him by an ABC correspondent about whether he wanted to respond to Vice President Dick Cheney’s charge that Mr. Kerry wanted to wage a more “sensitive” war on terror.
“No, it’s just … it’s sad that they can only be negative,” Mr. Kerry said. “They have nothing to say about the future vision of America. I think Americans want a positive vision for the future.”
Bush on the other hand, has taken questions from reporters at least four times during the month of August.
Come on John Kerry, come out from hiding and take a few questions. While you’re at it, you could actually give answers to them too.
Why don’t you contact the Kerry campaign and tell them it’s time for Kerry to answer some questions..

I’ll ask John Kerry that the day Bush gives a campaign appearence that isn’t in front of prescreened supporters who were going to vote for him anyway.

I’ve been looking at the Bush smear documents (you can download them from CBS News). And, I have to say, they look fake to me. The ABCNews web page does a very good job explaining whats wrong with them. I would recommend that the White House consider pulling CBS press credentials if they don’t disclose who gave them these forgeries.
And on that note - If CNN continues to keep Kerry campaign workers on staff as news comentators, they should have their press credentials pulled also.

Please download and look at the anti-bush document dated 01 August 1972. Look below the text and to the left of the sgnature. See the two pen curves? They look like residual from a cut and paste signature and seem to line up with the signature if you move them.
