Kerry's not- so-amazing race, on film

I hear that John Kerry loyalists are kicking themselves for cooperating last year with filmmaker Steve Rosenbaum on "Inside the Bubble," a potentially devastating behind-the-scenes look at the Massachusetts senator's failed presidential campaign.
I'm also told that Hillary Clinton partisans are licking their chops to see the film, which "could end up being the silver bullet that kills Kerry's presidential chances for 2008," says a Lowdown spy.

Kerry spinmeister David Wade - one of the senior staffers who allowed Rosenbaum to film his private moments - tried to dismiss Rosenbaum's effort as "a childish home movie destined to be forgotten."

Wade E-mailed me: "The 20 poor souls subjected to this movie will be reaching for caffeine and begging for old Lamar Alexander tapes on C-Span 2. Michael Moore has nothing to fear. I think the working title was 'The Snore Room.'"

But people who've screened the documentary say it's compelling and revealing.

It features, among other not-ready-for-prime-time moments, Clinton scowling and rolling her eyes over an apparent Kerry gaffe during a presidential debate; Kerry pretending to interview himself and babbling in Italian while waiting for a real interview to begin; Sen. Joe Biden (D-Del.) cursing at reporters during a campaign stop, and Kerry message guru Robert Shrum confidently declaring a few days before the 2004 election: "Zogby [a prominent pollster] just announced who's gonna win. Us!"

Shrum told me he personally didn't cooperate with the movie, which captures him on camera only a couple of times.

Asked if he plans to see it, he answered: "Absolutely not."

As for media critic Michael Wolff - who severely slags off the Kerryites at regular intervals - "I refused to be interviewed by [Rosenbaum], even though at one point he called me from his bespoke tailor."

A press release claims the movie - which won't be shown publicly until Thursday - "turns a harsh but deeply revealing mirror on the campaign ... a disorganized, contentious, self-absorbed team that thought they could win by 'not making mistakes,' and keeping their candidate in the public eye without clarifying a position on anything."

Director Rosenbaum, meanwhile, told me: "I'm a lifelong Democrat and I supported Kerry. I think people will see the film as fair, and maybe searing."

carpro -

Kerry, as a U.S. Senator, has seen what his mentor,
Senator Kennedy, has gotten away with. He has
also witnessed countless others who should not be
in office, but instead move up the political ladder.
This includes John Forbes Kerry himself.

Kerry failed to become the president this time, but he
also failed in the past to become a U.S.
Representative, but eventually became a U.S. Senator.

In my opinion, a movie showing him
in a bad light is a minor bump on the road to the presidency.

My answer to your question is no, this will not finish Kerry.

He learned from the 2004 campaign and will run again, with
the help of his supporters and Theresa...and he will be stopped
again with the help of Swift Vets and POWs for Truth and the
American voters.

All of us need to stay vigilant.

P.S. Did you know Kerry served in Vietnam?

Keep the powder dry. sKerry certainly has no shame, and it's obvious he wants to try again.

What will make or break him is the elitist Northeastern media; it's whether they support him or not that will determine his future. Just so nobody takes this threat lightly, he's pretty close to their "ideal" candidate.

Call me a cynic, but it is just possible that the Mutt and Jeff routine of Dean and Kerry is by design going to make hillary look almost normal...but then, I guess in addition to being a cynic I'd be giving a lot more credit to the DNC than they deserve. Smile

To hear a sKerry aid admit even it was Largely true is a major coup, I feel. Laughing

I'd like to see this on Hannity & Colmes and watch as old Colmes wiggles around that Wink

what a great addition to a future commercial.
Imagine, Traitor Kerry stating that the swifties were lying, playing the swifties ad, and having Kerry's aid state that the swifies were LARGELY true. The ending: Can you REALLY trust this guy!, showing a picture of Kerry and fading to a shot of him from 71.
The boy would be doomed.
It would even be a GREAT commercial to anyone challenging him for his Senate seat. Very Happy

From a post on FR, Howie Carr of WRKO radio in Boston has taken an interest in the "Bubble". Might be worth a listen today so I've posted a link in the media events section.
