Stephanie Cutter -- getting a deserved smackdown
by k at 1:36 pm EST, Dec 17, 2003

] Sen. John F. Kerry's campaign spokeswoman is deeply
] unhappy with the New York Times' chief political
] correspondent for quoting her criticism of Howard Dean.
]
]
] The reason? The Massachusetts Democrat's team made the
] attack in an e-mail to reporters that contained a note
] asking that it be treated on "background," attributed
] only to a Democratic campaign. Adam Nagourney refused to
] go along.

Kerry's campaign sinks to ever deeper lows. He's already 6th (last among the credible candidates) in many polls, but he's going down screaming, taking potshots at the front runner as if he still has a chance, but trying to do it anonymously. Please, this is the kind of shit that kills interest in politics. Make your opinions attributable or shut the fuck up. Period.

Cutter claims that her "Truth Squad" is all about exposing the facts in this race for the public record, all the while sending pre-formatted attacks to the journalists she has cowed into printing them anonymously...

Ryan: I hate these kind of back-handed tactics. Put up or shut up. John Kerry was the one who couldn't ever give a definitive statement, now he wants to hold everyone else to a higher standard than he himself can achieve.
