Kerry’s uncomfortable 40 minutes

Now that Kerry’s following Michael Moore’s wishes and bashing the president for sitting still and thinking for a few minutes before rushing into action on 9/11, it’s appropriate to check into what Sen. Kerry did:

In an interview with Larry King on CNN, July 8, 2004, Sen. Kerry was asked where he was the morning of September 11th. Here is part of his response:

Kerry: “…And as I came in [to a meeting in Sen. Daschle’s office], Barbara Boxer and Harry Reid were standing there, and we watched the second plane come in to the building. And we shortly thereafter sat down at the table and then we just realized nobody could think, and then boom, right behind us, we saw the cloud of explosion at the Pentagon…” (emphasis added).

It should be noted that the second plane hit the World Trade Center at 9:03 a.m., and the plane hit the Pentagon at 9:43 a.m. By Kerry’s own words, he and his fellow senators sat there for forty minutes, realizing “nobody could think.”

So what’s good for the goose isn’t sauce for the gander, once again.
