Katie Couric this morning was trying so hard to stick all of the scrutiny on Bush that even Kerry’s gaffe is a potential Bush problem, as she insisted to Tim Russert:
“I want to ask you about Senator Kerry making those comments after a speech to the AFL-CIO in Chicago when he thought he was off-mic and off-camera. Let’s take a quick listen and then discuss it.” [Kerry remarks]
“The chairman of the Bush re-election campaign said this was behavior unbecoming a presidential candidate. They have to be careful, don’t they, because President Bush and Vice President Cheney were caught when they thought they were off-mic discussing New York Times reporter Adam Clymer in less than flattering terms, right?”
