As a journalist, you can appreciate a writer burying the lede. Here's a funny twist on that.

Robert Sam Anson writes an article in today's NY Observer totally supporting Kerry's anti-war days. Anson was there, they were friends. Anson was a writer for TIME magazine, covering the protests. He admonishes us about how brave it was for Kerry to come home and do the things he did.

Anson opens with an anecdote about how Kerry came down to the mall where all the verterans were sleeping one night. He taps Anson and tells him to "follow me". Anson follows him to a waiting Mercedes where Kerry has gathered several vets. He tells them he has a better place for them to sleep and whisks them off to a posh Georgetown townhouse. They put their feet up on the expensive furniture and drink the absent owner's brandy into the night. That Kerry's a great guy.

How did Anson bury the lede? Kerry has vociferously denied over the years that he slept in a Georgetown townhouse while the vets slept on the mall. Anson has inadvertantly disclosed another Kerry fib! LOL!

Could it be that the Kerry campaign pre-planned all this...dump out all the bad stuff in a 3 day cycle? Hope Kerry will look like a victim, then move on?

In this day and age, anything is possible.

I just don't think Kerry is suicidal. He's too arrogant to be suicidal. Therefore I don't think he's behind this stuff. And from what I've read he really has his campaign people harnessed down, so I can't think they would have done it without his blessings.

Anyone who would release all this cr@p inside a week would have to be described as a Political Riverboat Gambler. If what I've been reading is true, Kerry is extremely anal retentive. Riverboat Gambing is not his style.

I don't know. It seems all this Vietnam veteran stuff is hitting Kerry and he's left mumbling about Republicans and calling Bush a chickenhawk, when it's clearly the left-leaning media, e.g., the Charlie Gibson interview, and just plain folks like us who are raising the issues. The Republicans traditionally lack the cojones for such "attacks." It still smells like the Clintons to me.
