Campaign Claims Ignorance of 'Crooks for Kerry'
That Boston Herald, ya gotta love it. "Crooks for Kerry: Lefty group hires ex-cons to canvass" was how Sen. John Kerry's hometown newspaper today headlined his latest embarrassment.
Of course it's obvious that the Bush-hating groups campaigning for Kerry and staffed with former Kerry handlers are on the same page as the Democrat presidential candidate, but he's still trying to maintain the illusion that he's as ignorant of them as he is of, say, basic economics.

"The Kerry campaign cannot coordinate [with them], it's against the law," the Herald quoted Kerry mouthpiece Michael Meehan as saying. "We don't know anything about it."
And once again the Herald has shamed its pro-Democrat Beantown rival. The Boston Globe today refused to post this news on its Web site but mentioned in a story about a Bush-bashing speech Kerry gave in San Francisco that the story was buried on page 13 of the print edition.
Who's That Knocking at My Door?
Republican National Committee Chairman Ed Gillespie had this to say about the Kerry gang's latest antics:
"It is disturbing that the voter mobilization arm of the Democratic Party is proudly hiring felons convicted of sex offenses, assault and burglary to go house to house and handle sensitive personal information.
"Democrat voters should be leery of opening their doors to political operatives until the Democrats can assure them that a convicted felon won't be on the other side."
