And this is somehow a bad thing?

Honest to god, this article actually appeared in the Sun, Sept 19 edition of the Las Vegas Review Journal:

“Republicans criticize Sen. John Kerry’s affinity for international cultures and
his pledge to make America ‘more respected in the world.’
‘I’ll continue to work will our allies and friends, but I will never turn over America’s national security decisions to leaders of other countries,’ President Bush said in a
speech here Tuesday.
Since Kerry has said he would never do that either, it was perhaps unfortunate that his campaign chose to launch its national veterans’ steering committee at the Paris hotel. In the Versailles ballroom. Where they served croissants.”

The paper even ran a photo of a croissant with the article!

Boggling! First of all, that Republicans think that a president should NOT have an affinity for international cultures and that we should NOT be more respected in the world! That would explain why they want Bush as president, since he could care less what any other country thinks of us.

Secondly, they quote Bush saying something that Kerry agrees with, but makes it sound like Kerry has done something to make it seem like he does not agree with this.

Thirdly, his choice of HOTEL and FOOD somehow means that he will “turn over …security decisions to leaders of other countries”!!!

I know I live in Las Vegas, but are all newspapers this ultra-conservative? Where is the “liberal media” that the conservatives always talk about?!
