Exploiting Kal-El's Death

I didn't want to believe it...but Kerry is exploiting the death of Superman. And according to Wizbang, there's some question about the timing of it all:

Kerry said the last time he heard from Reeve was on Saturday, when the actor left a message on his cellphone, enthused by the Massachusetts senator's decision to raise stem-cell research in Friday's second presidential debate.

Oh really?

WHO TV (Des Moines) October 11th, 2004 - According to sources close to the actor, Reeve died Sunday. The actor fell into a coma on Thursday after going into cardiac arrest at his New York home.

It's true - Kerry will say ANYTHING to get elected...

UPDATE: On Drudge right now, the headline is 'WHEN KERRY IS PRESIDENT, PEOPLE LIKE CHRISTOPHER REEVE ARE GOING TO WALK'

Can't hear it right now, but Rush is blasting this on the radio, calling the statement "the ultimate cruelty"

I hate being right, sometimes...
