This is a reprint from NewsMax. I think they went a little over the top this time.
Friday, Nov. 5, 2004 8:42 a.m. EST Kerry Aides Blame Puffy, Bill Clinton, Daughter As the Kerry campaign disintegrates into oblivion, the finger pointing in the Democratic ranks has already begun. The New York Post's must-read Page Six reports that numbers of notable figures in the 2004 campaign are being roasted by party insiders. These include: Alexandra Kerry: The paper said John Kerry's daughter "made a splash at the Cannes Film Festival last spring when she appeared on the red carpet in a see-through dress." Campaign "insiders snipe that all she did was rack up major expenses. 'She had an entourage of five people with her everywhere she went.' A hairdresser, makeup artist, publicist and two assistants. It ended up costing something like $8,000 a month. And she didn't exactly do anything." Sean "Puffy" Combs: The rap mogul made national headlines with his "Vote or Die" effort to get young voters to register and vote. But they never materialized at the polls. "He was just a nuisance," the Post quotes one Kerry aide as saying. "The whole thing was a joke. No one outside of New York or L.A. gives a hoot about this guy. All he did was get himself press." Terry McAuliffe and Bill Clinton: The Post says Clinton and his top fund-raiser, who heads the Democratic Party, caused the disaster. The Post has reported that some analysts say Clinton's emergence in the closing days of the campaign "energized" the Republican base. |
