Regarding this morning's terror warnings, while I was on the way to work I heard Rush say that the Bush Administration offered to brief the Kerry campaign on the threats over a week ago and that the Kerry campaign refused. I can't find that information anywhere online. Has anyone seen anything about it?

Update:
Drudge has more (perishable link).

"I just haven't had time," Kerry explained in an interview.

Kerry made the startling comments on CNN's LARRY KING LIVE Thursday night.

KING: News of the day, Tom Ridge warned today about al Qaeda plans of a large-scale attack on the United States. Didn't increase the -- you see any politics in this? What's your reaction?

KERRY: Well, I haven't been briefed yet, Larry. They have offered to brief me. I just haven't had time.

A lot of people over at Free Republic are talking about it after having seen Kerry say he was "too busy" to attend the briefing on Larry King, but no one "legit" seems to be reporting it. Big surprise.

Doh! I see you've got more info since I neglected to put a link in my comment. Sorry.

Here's the link to the FR discussion, just in case anyone wants to look. (Remember that some Freepers get a little carried away at times.)
