A new four-legged angle — actually a dog named "VC" — has suddenly materialized surrounding Sen. John Kerry's swift boat service in Vietnam.
In a 2004 presidential candidate questionnaire for Humane USA, Mr. Kerry was asked whether any pets have had an impact on his life.
"I have always had pets in my life, and there are a few that I remember very fondly," Mr. Kerry replied. "When I was serving on a Swift Boat in Vietnam, my crewmates and I had a dog we called VC.
"One day as our Swift Boat was heading up a river, a mine exploded hard under our boat," he continued. "After picking ourselves up, we discovered VC was MIA (missing in action). Several minutes of frantic search followed, after which we thought we'd lost him. We were relieved when another boat called asking if we were missing a dog."
Said Mr. Kerry: "It turns out VC was catapulted from the deck of our boat and landed, confused but unhurt, on the deck of another boat in our patrol."

His boat never hit a mine, dog never got catapaulted. Another Lie.

"Dogapult? Help me out here."

The dogapult episode supposed occured when kerry's boat hit a mine (or speedbump, or something) and catapulted his adopted dog, VC, into a nearby boat (although there were really never any other boats nearby, if you believe kerry's minions).

Anyway, Fox and Friends or some other morning show called him on that. kerry's boat was never hit by a mine.
