Tonight Gardner was on talk radio with John Hancock on WBT in Charlotte and made some claims about Kerry that back up what we hear . . he asked for purple hearts after minor scrapes taht didn't even need a band aid and that he turned and ran in fear when his boat cam under fire. Not sure if he is exactly what we think of as a brave vietnam vet on the up and up.

God knows the truth!

Scarboro ran a segment on the assassination vote tonight and i got the distinct impression that the democrats are scared of this one.

He ran like a dog"

Indeed my friend. He still does.

"His stories are made up. It's sad, but that's the way it goes in war, and especially in politics."

It really is sad, now isn't it?

[DWPittelli]

I don't think I buy it. Apart from Gardner's apparently contradicting other crew members, on other occasions Kerry was beyond courageous, to the point of recklessly endangering himself, his crew and his boat by beaching the boat to shoot the (perhaps wounded or dead) man who had fired a rocket at said boat. (The better move was to move off 200 yards, where the boat's machine guns are effective but rockets ulikely to hit the boat. If the rocket-firer had any compatriots, Kerry would have been toast.)

Too bad this article doesn't point out that Gardner lost his job the day after the Time story was published. His boss said it was just "a weird coincidence." Right.
