MORE ON THE SLIME MERCHANTS.
The New York Times tomorrow will report
that the Globe's Michael Kranish had nothing to do with a
forthcoming official Kerry-Edwards book, Rush Limbaugh's and Matt
Drudge's sneering accusations notwithstanding. Writes Jim
Rutenberg:
... Public Affairs,
publisher of Mr. Kerry's campaign book, said Mr. Kranish had been
retained to write the foreword for a different book, and that when
it struck a deal to publish the campaign's platform, it dropped
plans to publish that book.
Which, of course, is what Paul
Colford wrote in the Daily News. Rutenberg
continues:
Martin Baron, editor of
The Boston Globe, backed up that version of events in a statement
and also stood by the quotes from Commander Elliott in his paper.
"The quotes attributed to Mr. Elliott were on the record and
absolutely accurate," he said.
Too bad for Kranish that he got
caught up in this mind-bogglingly sick offensive to denigrate Kerry's
service in Vietnam.
