Here are a few excerpts from the show I thought were worthy of mention:

KING: ...

Let's get to, first thing's first, news of the day. Tom Ridge warned today about al Qaeda plans of a large-scale attack on the United States, didn't increase the -- do you see any politics in this? What's your reaction?

KERRY: Well, I haven't been briefed yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me; I just haven't had time...

Kerry was too busy hobnobbing with celebrity Bush-Haters at a "Star Studded" Celebrity Bush Bash. It is good to know Kerry has his priorities straight... National security comes ... when he gets around to it... when he is less busy.

KING: When do you -- when do you get your briefing?

KERRY: We're arranging it. It's at the end of the week I'll get it.

KING: Should be pretty soon.

KERRY: I think it's tomorrow or the next day.

KING: And as for the vice president, he gets one, as well, right?

KERRY: I hope he will. It's presumed.

Sooner or later he will be up to the date on pressing national security issues... and as for John Edwards, Kerry hopes he will too...

KERRY: ... I think that Mr. Cheney has been the sort of ideological hardliner, and I don't believe his judgments have necessarily led America to a safer place.

KING: How will Senator Edwards fare against him in the debate...

KERRY: Well, you know...

KING: ... talk about the experience?

KERRY: I think people make a great mistake to sort of hype these debates. Overall, Dick Cheney is really very, very competent, knows how to ...

Yeah, these debates are really overrated... so when Cheney mops the floor with him, we should just ignore it.

KING: Are you given Communion?

KERRY: Absolutely.

KING: But there were some bishops who would deny that to you.

KERRY: Well, there are some bishops who have spoken out, but they -- but that's not the position of the Church, and as you know, we have a separation in America of Church and state. My obligation as a Catholic is to examine my conscience, under the freedom of conscience under Vatican II, Pope John XXIII, and Pope Paul, and I do that.

Wow... John Kerry knows the position of the church, but the Bishops in the Catholic church do not? Wow! He calls Bush arrogant!

KING: Is abortion a great moral issue to you?

KERRY: Sure it is. Absolutely. And I think it's far more complicated than public life allows the discussion for. I mean, being for choice does not mean you are for abortion....

Waffles

KING: Have you seen "Fahrenheit 9/11"?

KERRY: No, I haven't. I haven't.

KING: Do you plan to?

KERRY: I don't plan to, right now.

KING: Don't plan to?

KERRY: No, I don't plan to.

KING: Wouldn't you be curious to want to see it?

KERRY: I've seen it. I've watched it for the last four years.

Not only does Kerry not denounce Moore's silly little film, he actually believes the lies. Many ardent liberals can't even support the trash and lies espoused by Moore... and Kerry, instead of distancing himself from this ultra leftist garbage, says, "I've watched it for the last four years."
