How much lower can they go?

This morning, a "reporterette" (Jessica Vascellaro) for the DNC media surrogate Boston Globe released a hitpiece on the anti-Kerry Swift Boat veterans. She coordinated her hit with a delegate to the 2004 Democratic National Convention, Judith Droz Keyes.
Droz Keyes, a San Francisco lawyer and far-left "war hater", was recruited because of her status as "the grieving widow" of one of the Swift Boat veterans. Droz Keyes and Vascellaro put words in the mouth of Keyes' dead husband in order to prop up Senator Kerry's shaky "combat heroism" story.
However, the great Ann Coulter's aphorism "Liberals simply can't grasp the problem Lexis-Nexis poses to their incessant lying" came into play, and Freepers conservative in nyc, boxerblues, and stockpirate busted the two Demmi conspirators almost immediately.
Far from being "a grieving widow", Droz Keyes stands revealed as a fanatic, far-left Democrat Party activist.
Reporterette Jessica Vascellaro (DNC-BG) stands revealed by Coulter's Razor - willfull ignorance of the ubiquitous spotlight of the memory hole, Lexis-Nexis.

They're pulling out all the stops for the Swifties. ;-)

Keyes' husband died, spurring her to become more active in the anti-war movement. That's where she met Kerry.
Keyes, a partner in Morrison & Foerster's San Francisco office, this week attends her second Democratic Convention. This time she'll be inside, serving as a delegate for Sen. Kerry, D-Mass., the presumptive presidential nominee. Keyes is one of several San Francisco Bay Area lawyers who've been elected as delegates for Kerry or Sen. John Edwards, D-N.C., his running mate. For many like Keyes, the road to political involvement is paved with family ties.
Well the widows and orphans of the MIAs and POWs Kerry sold out to his North Vietnamese Commie benefactors....might argue as to the decency of John F Kerry....
She prolly became a lawyer so she wouldn't end up waiting table at one of Kerry's mansions. Servant - another form of "family tie" to the billionaire Lefty. ;-)
Was she on the boat? Did she serve with him? (YAWN...)
You read it right:
"The first time Judith Droz Keyes attended a Democratic National Convention it was 1968, and she never made it inside. She was among the throngs of anti-war protesters who were pummeled outside the convention by the Chicago police. An officer on a horse struck Keyes on the head with his baton, she says. At the time, her husband was serving in Vietnam as a swift boat officer, in the same squadron as John Kerry. Eight months later, Keyes' husband died, spurring her to become more active in the anti-war movement. That's where she met Kerry."
Bizarre, especially since all swift boaters volunteered, IIRC.
A fascinating observation. If Jessie wouldn't have been so busy "getting the Swifties" for her DNC masters, she might have noticed the discordant theme.
Next Kerry will find another DNC delegate whose college roomate knew somebody who was a SB veteran and thinks Kerry is just swell.
Oh, I get it - you're one of those guys who likes to try to confuse peoples' feelings about an issue with the facts.

Be good, smile pretty
On March 16, 2001, 32-year-old Tracy Droz Tragos typed her father's name into Yahoo.com and hit 'Search.' Two and a half years later, the results of that search are chronicled in BE GOOD, SMILE PRETTY, a film that documents Tracy’s journey to find the father she lost in Vietnam. Lt. Donald Glenn Droz was 25 when he died; Tracy was three months old.
Four months after the completion of BE GOOD, SMILE PRETTY, Tracy, her husband, and her mother went to Vietnam to visit the place where Lt. Donald Glenn Droz had been killed. Chris, Tracy's husband, kept a diary of their trip.
Tracy's journey began with an article she found about the ambush that killed six men, including her father
What she found on the Web that night was "Death of the 43," a first-person, detailed account by a witness to an ambush in the Mekong Delta that destroyed a Navy swift boat and killed six men, including her father, Lt. Donald Glenn Droz.
After waiting two days, Tracy called her mother to tell her of the article. Thus began a conversation between the two on film, with Tracy gently but insistently probing her mother, Judy Droz Keyes, to dredge up and piece together old memories and to flesh out and give life to the shadowy figure of her daughter's dreams.
Together they open a long-buried trunk, examining the contents—photographs, champagne bottles, letters, home movies, audiotapes of phone conversations—like shards of pottery and artifacts from some ancient civilization. Who was this man? What was he like? What is his legacy? Many of his letters signed off with "Be good, smile pretty," a closing which Tracy later came to view as something many people do in burying their grief rather than facing it.
Tracy's film odyssey takes her from Berkeley, California to Rich Hill, Missouri, her father's hometown, and then on to the United States Senate, the United States Naval Academy, the cotton fields of Selma, Alabama, suburban Illinois, New York City, Santa Rosa, California and places in between, to talk with relatives and her father's comrades from Vietnam. These men (including Senator John Kerry of Massachusetts), now in their 50s and 60s, are the age her father would have been had he survived. [snip]

The VVAW was getting money from Communist groups here and overseas.
YES! Moments I live for....
Just a little aside--one shrill dem was on Fox this morning asserting that the Swiftees ads were not only ineffective, but hurting President Bush. I had a good laugh over that one. Yeah, it's hurting the President so bad the 'rats are all at battle stations.
If the ad was actually causing harm to President Bush, these people would all be quiet as...well...mice.
Couple of points here:
So Tracy was 3 months old when her father died in April. Which makes her mother pregnant when she was 'struck on the head by a baton' by an officer? That seems odd to me.
Oh, the bigger point what is it with Dem women who WEAR their dead husbands names while they are (or in this case appear to be) married to someone else? Does this not appear to be, well, sick? This woman's husband's name should be Mr. Judith Droz just as Kerrie's name should be Mr. Teresa Heinz. What about the men who go along with this? We all know JonKerrie is for sale but....
Yes - we know the cardinal rule here on FR. "If your enemy is destroying himself..." ;-)
Does anyone know where it has been said that this woman's husband didn't earn his medal?
