It seems Senator Kerry might have overreached the other day at a fundraiser in Florida when he claimed that he had met with foreign leaders who had, in one way or another, encouraged his candidacy.
After being called on the claim by a heckler (admittedly a Bush supporter) at a rally, Kerry backtracked to say he had "heard from" foreign leaders who were keen for him to defeat President Bush, but declined to provide details.
Something like that is more than just semantics. It may even be true, but Kerry should be experienced enough to know that if he makes that sort of assertion in public, he's going to have to back it up.
It's a standard he should observe himself so he is better equipped to hold the Bush team to it.
The Bush team, meanwhile, is coming under scrutiny over a series of video 'news releases' on medicare which may have crossed that fine line between information and propaganda.
