Kerry's campaign now says is possible first Purple Heart was awarded for unintentional self-inflicted wound...
Kerry received Purple Heart for wounds suffered on 12/2/68...
In Kerry's own journal written 9 days later, he writes he and his crew, quote, 'hadn't been shot at yet'... Developing...
Not bad. You are only about 4 hours behind the news, though.
I knew something was up today.....when Kerry was late coming to speak, and he looked guilty as sin, and his upper lip and chin were sweating as he talked..i knew it, I knew IT!
If this is true, there goes the wheel to the cart. This will be a fun ride!
Oops. That could nullify his first Purple Heart; there goes his early out. I guess the Navy needs to recall him and send him back to Nam.
Looks like Chrissy Matthews owes Michelle Malkin a BIG apology. I'm not holding my breath.
Well, in all honesty, this is something we've all known for longer than four hours. But to your point, I've not seen it posted on FR yet.
They must have a real life.
Chris Matthews, you owe Michelle Malkin an apology. Just try to make it sincere, rather than a come-on.
What a dumass.
Now he will claim he got the early out for sleep walking.
LOL, Or change his discharge status to "Dishonorable"
I guess he couldn't find a copy of the book either.
So it seems cold..that is the other Breaking news on drudge.
KERRY PHONES SWIFT BOAT FOES
**World Exclusive**
Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry personally phoned anti-Kerry swift boat vets, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Kerry reached out to Robert "Friar Tuck" Brant Cdr., USN (RET) Sunday night, just hours after former Sen. Bob Dole publicly challenged Kerry to apologize to veterans.
Brant was skipper of the #96 and # 36 boat and spent time with Kerry in An Thoi. Kerry and Brant slept in the same quarters, and Brant used to put Kerry back to bed at night when Kerry was sleepwalking.
Brant received a call from Kerry at his home in Virginia while he was watching the Olympics on TV.
The call lasted 10 minutes, sources tell DRUDGE.
KERRY: "Why are all these swift boat guys opposed to me?"
BRANT: "You should know what you said when you came back, the impact it had on the young sailors and how it was disrespectful of our guys that were killed over there."
[Brant had two men killed in battle.]
KERRY: "When we dedicated swift boat one in '92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn't talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans."
Kerry then asked if he could meet Brant ["You were one of the best"] -- man to man -- face to face.
Brant declined the invite, explaining that Kerry was obviously not prepared to correct the record on exactly what happened during Vietnam and what happened when Kerry came back.

Oh what a tangled web we weave, when we proceed to embellish our war records - and then use it as the central plank of our campaign!
I didn't know Lt.Frank Burns was alive and sometimes present at the US Senate building? Frank Burns running for president.....Whoda thunk?
hey, this came just in time for those on welfare and late-risers in general
; )
You mean that ther eis something outside of FR? (shudder...) The thought is too horrible to even consider!
