Kerry on the campaign trail

[Almighty Colin]

John Kerry's unintended-to-be-heard comments yesterday before AFL-CIO union leaders have drawn a little fire. After he finishes his address, the microphone picked up the following line from a private conversation;

"Oh yeah, don't worry, man. We're going to keep pounding, let me tell you -- we're just beginning to fight here. These guys are the most crooked, you know, lying group of people I've ever seen."

The Republicans were quick to capitalize demanding an apology and labelling the comments unbecoming for a presidential candidate.

The Kerry campaign fired back and said that Kerry knew his microphone was on and that he was referring not to Bush but to Republicans who have launched "crooked, deceitful, personal attacks over the last four years."

I love politics.
