455 What they didn't say

“Tonight I will talk about this good man and his fine record leading our country. And I may say a word or two about his opponent. I am also mindful that I have an opponent of my own. People tell me that Senator Edwards got picked for his good looks, his sex appeal, and his great hair. I say to them — how do you think I got the job?”

That’s good for a chuckle. But I ran a word check on the entire speech and neither Cheney nor President Bush ever said Kerry was “unfit” (alluding to the Swiftboat vets ad), nor did they question his patriotism. So why is the Washington Post (Thursday) and Kerry saying they did?
