To clarify: Every American now knows that John Kerry was not the war hero he thought he was.

I'm shocked, SHOCKED that yet another "journalist" would publish first, check for facts later (actually, I'm shocked that Brinkley admitted that Ketchup Boy isn't the war hero the two of them claimed he was).

"Every American now knows that there's something really screwy about George Bush and the National Guard, and they know that John Kerry was not the war hero we thought he was," said Douglas Brinkley, the historian and author of a friendly biography of Mr. Kerry's war years, acknowledging that Mr. Kerry's opponents had succeeded in raising questions about his service.

"It's kind of neutralized itself, just by tiring everybody out," Mr. Brinkley said.

He, of course,had to throw Bush in there.....

Kerry biographer David Brinkley quoted in the New York Times: ----

Which issue? I'd like to see what he says. This may be hugh given the fact it was reported in the NY Slimes.

Series trouble for the Kerry dingy.
