Statements like this just reflect foolish thinking on the part of the campaign. They don’t buy you any votes in the middle and they rile up the Republican base. I’ve gotten over a dozen emails on this one already.

I hope this is somewhat on-topic: Hope you all saw Liz Cheney on O’Reilly yesterday. She is awesome! Completely focused and articulate, she skewered Kedwards for their comments about her sister, Mrs. Bush, Christopher Reeves, etc.

We need to see more of Ms. Cheney in the next 10 days and beyond.

It’s such a load of hype anyway. There are young, healthy people paying extortion prices for flu vaccine when they wouldn’t have normally gotten one.

Ridiculous.

Oops — sorry about the over 65 reference to Cheney. I actually thought he was a bit older than that. Not that it makes much difference, he still qualifies for the shot.

BTW — has Kerry and crew considered that Bill Clinton has also gotten a flu shot? For the same reason that Cheney has gotton one — both are cardiac patients.

Charlie(Co),

I came up with the handle back in the days of 10 character limits for user names. It’s a joke on how my home system tends to stay on the bleeding edge of obsolecence.

Cyberludite (2 d’s?), Cheney is a 63 year old cardiac patient; he’d qualify under the current rules anyway. But I’d bet you’re right.

I missed getting a flu shot by a day — I had an appointment for it the morning after the shortage was announced. I’m under 50 (barely) and in ridiculously good health, but you can’t give the shot back.

At this point I’m pretty philosophical about it. We survived the election of Andrew Jackson, we’ll survive this.

Uh, Dean, as a Choctaw, I’ve got to say that I don’t find that argument very comforting at all.

Expect the nastiness to ratched up even more over the next 12 days.

I’d be interested in seeing just when Cheney got his shot. I doubt he’d put it off. It’s quite possible that he got it done before the shortage happened.

The worst part of the entire episode is that it clearly shows that, once again, the Kerry campaign completely misunderstands national security! Imagine for a minute that the President has a really debilitating case of the flu. Wouldn't Kerry want someone there who wasn't sick in the event of another 9/11? But of course to the Kerry campaign that doesn't matter if they can win! Defeat the US is their motto!
