Kerry making the same unsubstantiated claims will do the same. It will attract liberals like flies to manure but it won't help with the swing voters.
Despite what you would like to believe, not everyone believes Bush and his colleagues are "crooked", at least no more than the rest of the politicians.

It was not in a speech, it was in an "off mike" comment that he probably believes. I don't think he will be making any "Bush is a liar" speeches any time soon (not that I rule this out as a possibility). He is not going to apologize, because it will play well with his base and be forgotten by the general public by election time.
And no, I don't believe that "everyone" believes he and his colleagues are cooked. In fact, I don't think they are "crooked" I think they are misguided but I know many, many people (Democrats mostly) who frequently use words like crooked and corrupt when referring to President Bush.
