(2004-08-19) — Democrat presidential candidate John Forbes Kerry today charged President George Bush with using surrogates to “do his dirty work” by distributing excerpts from the Congressional Record which chronicle Sen. Kerry’s accomplishments in the Senate.
The one-page document details all the significant legislation Mr. Kerry has written during the past two decades, including his major healthcare reform initiatives and measures that strengthened America’s intelligence capabilities against terrorists.
“I know that I accomplished much more than this,” said Mr. Kerry as he waved the single sheet of paper. “In fact, my achievements as a champion of significant legislation are seared…seared in my memory. George Bush is using surrogates to do his dirty work because he doesn’t have the courage to stand up in public and say ‘John Kerry didn’t do much as a senator.’”
At a news conference this morning, President Bush was asked what he thought of Mr. Kerry’s record of accomplishment in the Senate.
Mr. Bush responded, “I’ll get back to you on that. I started reading it last week and I’m only halfway down the page.”
