Obviously someone in touch with the common man.
How many "unintentional errors" is Kerry's campaign going to make? Kerry camp spins its wheels. As reported by the Washington Times.
...the campaign picked as its press-pass logo for its Motor City tour the gleaming showcase car of a foreign auto company — Rolls-Royce — that makes cars priced far outside the financial reach of any middle-class voter.
"That's an insult to the auto worker, it's an insult to the American worker, it's an insult to mainstream America," said Sam Burwell from Corunna, Mich., a third-generation auto worker for General Motors. "It also shows who he's really in touch with: his European, elitist French friends and not Americans like me. A Rolls-Royce, for cryin' out loud."
Then Kerry spokesman Davis Wade spins the gaff into an attack on Bush. Lamely I might add.
"I could say that the Rolls-Royce is the perfect symbol of who got the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy, but sometimes objects in the rearview mirror are closer than they appear," he said.What the hell does that mean anyway.
