Despite the fact that Dick Cheney would fit into the government's definition of those most vulnerable to a looming influenza epidemic as he has a long history of heart disease
the Kerry campaign issued a highly critical statement yesterday over the fact that Cheney received a flu shot: "Once again, the Bush administration proves that it is the 'do as we say, not as we do' White House," the campaign said in a statement issued in Pittsburgh where Kerry was campaigning.
"The very week that (health) secretary (Tommy) Thompson is telling Americans to keep calm, Dick Cheney, John Snow and Bill Frist getting flu shots."
"It is unfortunate that the Bush administration failed to do the work necessary to ensure that all Americans, including those most at risk, had been able to get shots as well."
Only problem with that criticism is THIS:
Senator Hillary Clinton said the former president, hubby BillClinton, has received a flu shot.
Not a word...not a PEEP...out of the Kerry campaign about THAT ONE!
