August 20, 2004 --THERE'S now some real angst in Dem ocratic circles be cause of the growing evidence that Democrat John Kerry's claim to have a memory "seared in me" of spending Christmas 1968 in Cambodia was false — and just didn't happen.
But what worries some pro-Kerry Democrats is the fear that Kerry has, as one put it, "an Al Gore problem" — that he's a serial exaggerator. (Remember how Gore claimed to have invented the Internet and inspired the novel "Love Story"?)
Remember Kerry's claim that "I've met foreign leaders" who told him he had to beat Bush? Turned out he hadn't met any foreign leaders in years.
Kerry's campaign Web site claimed credit for Vietnam missions when another man, Tedd Peck, was the skipper (that was removed when he protested) and last week was claiming credit for former Sen. Bob Kerrey's service as Senate Intelligence Committee vice chairman.
"John Kerry, Bob Kerrey — similar names," blithely explained Kerry campaign spokesman Michael Meehan, as if Kerry didn't know his own bio.
Not one of Kerry's Swift boat crewmates, even the ones backing his candidacy, recalls being in Cambodia in Christmas 1968 — and anti-Kerry Swift boat veterans cite a host of evidence that he was 50 miles away in Vietnam.

5 Legislative Days Left Until The AWB Expires
There is a cartoon called 'Dragon Tales'... I keep hearing their theme song as "Kerry Tales"
When the Cambodia thing came up, I thought it would go nowhere. But it keeps on showing up. I think the reason is that Kerry was SO emphatic (seared into my memory) and obviously lying (Nixon was not President at the time). If you want to, you can disbelieve the Swift Vets--no one has film footage one way or the other. But it's hard to dismiss the Cambodia story. And once you start to think that Kerry might exaggerate about what he did in the war, the Swift Vets sound pretty believable. Kerry is going after the Swifties hammer and tong--he doesn't realize that Cambodia is a bigger problem for him in the long term.
Hopefully this matters to the swing voters because it sure doesn't to the die hard "anyone but Bush" libs.
But he does remember committing war crimes at My Lai
Is this their new defense? Kerry is merely an exaggerator? Will he be coming out of the closet soon a-la-McGreevey: "I'm John Kerry, and I'm an Exaggerato-American. There are millions of us out there, all Democrats by the way."
It is excellent, that Kerry has an Al Gore problem.....
The fact that John Kerry has pointed to this claim of being ordered into Cambodia in 1968 as the reason why he turned against the Vietnam War, is proof that John Kerry is living a lie!
Kerry has a shovel in each hand now.
The swiftboats or the VRWC will be blamed for this but the pure pleasure of watching his lies catch him out is immeasureable
Toast?........ You mean Nuclear Meltdown, dont you?
It is the swing voters that (unfortunately ) hold the balance of this election....
I love Deb Orin! Talk about taking it to the MSM.
Yes, it would seem that he has a major problem if the sheeple figure that out....but the MSM is doing their best to cover up for him.
Where's Tah-Ray-Zah?
One thing this is doing is showing who is really a journalist and who is an open kerry supporter now !
it's breaking into the mainstream press now, even if it is a hit piece like the one in the NYT tomorrow.
