Kerrey-ing no illusions

New School president Bob Kerrey - a former Democratic senator from Nebraska and a Medal of Honor recipient in Vietnam - had choice words for the Swifties accusing Sen. John Kerry of volunteering for Vietnam combat duty to pad his political résumé.

"Oh, f-- them," he told the Daily News' James Gordon Meek. "Quote me on that. The idea that you'd volunteer for [Swift boat duty] because you're thinking about a political career. ... That's what you think about doing if you want a posthumous political career."

Meanwhile, Creative Coalition co-president and "Dr. Vegas" star Joe Pantoliano wonders if FDR would fare better than Kerry if he were alive today.

"You'd have wheelchair veterans for truth coming out of the woodwork screaming, 'He's not really a cripple!'" the former "Sopranos" star told us at the coalition's party for former First Son Ron Reagan's collection of essays, "If You Had Five Minutes with the President."

Joe Pantoliano....Nice reply by this guy. Why does anyone care what an actor thinks anyway, especially Joey Pants? They memorize lines and think people should worship them because they get some face time on tv or in the movies. They are bores.

Totall Liberal Historic BS!!


A better example would be "Veteran" exposing FDR( he couldn't stand without aid and heavy braces) as a polio victim and the press continuing the lie and viscously attack those who dare to tell the truth.

As usually with these Hollywood idiots, he is WRONG.

Well, you see, there's the wrinkle in this little argument. When John Kerry volunteered for Swift Boat Duty, it was easy work. They were NOT working in the rivers, they were only doing off coast patrol duty and were NOT really in harm's way. It wasn't until AFTER he'd arrived in Vietnam that the orders changed for the Swift Boats and they began patrolling upriver.
