Did Edwards Say the Other Day Kerry Had Shrapnel? (vanity)

Posted on 08/18/2004 12:43:53 PM PDT by what's up

Please excuse the vanity, but I briefly recall Edwards saying the other day that Kerry still had schrapnel in him along with a statement about bleeding in Vietnam.

Is this true?

Yes, he did say that.

"He took that word and distorted and tried to use it to argue John Kerry will not keep the American people safe," Edwards said. "He's talking about a man who still carries shrapnel in his body. He's talking about a man who spilled his blood for the United States of America."

Is it shrapnel in his buttocks or rice?

Somebody should watch Kerry as he goes through the metal detectors at the airport to see if he sets it off.

I'm not sure on the definition, but does rice, when it is embedded in one's butt, count as shrapnel?

Well, if it is, then you can see it. My Viet Nam hubby was shot in the back and legs. I could always see the shrapnel. It's a bit gray and in pieces.

Oh, wait, that was Kerry doing the honors.

I'm just wondering what event this is from. If it's from the rice incident, it's self-inflicted schrapnel.

Well, then, we'll have to wait until Kerry goes through one of those SEE ALL airport metal detectors.

I wondered what that smell was. Sort of like the odor of burning rubber.
