Are you Reeve's attending physician? I'm not. Maybe Reeve was too ill to make the call. The problem is this story started out saying he was in a coma on Thursday which would mean Kerry lied about a call on Saturday. We now know Thursday is wrong so a call on Friday or Saturday is possible. People can will themselves to do implausible things when they are gravely ill and by all accounts Christopher Reeve did that many times since his accident. The fact is there is a window of time when Reeve could have made that call to Kerry. People can hope otherwise but this story is weak and will probably only embarrass anyone pushing it unless Reeve's wife denies a phone call was made or someone comes up with some cell phone records for Kerry that shows he didn't recieve a call from Reeve.
If verification depends on Reeve's wife, then she will go with the Kerry story. There should be medical records verifying exactly when Kerry was admitted to the hospital and the approximate time of his heart attack and coma. They should also detail his worsening condition in the days leading up to his death. Obviously, Reeve's could not make the telephone call himself. He always had a medical attendant near him at all times and especially as his infection worsened during the week. Someone placed the call for him.
We do need facts to arrive at sound conclusions, however the changing news stories and lack of detail do raise legitimate questions, which need to be answered. If Kerry made this story up, then it becomes an issue. I see nothing wrong with asking these questions. Unfortunately, I don't see the MSM pursuing it.
It still remains my contention that Kerry was aware of Reeve's worsening condition and probable prognosis prior to the debate and used Reeve's name as an opportunity to advance his political agenda. He will now use the death and funeral as a further opportunity to do likewise. Kerry is the guy who went to Vietnam to film his exploits and build a resume. He knew the obscure three PH rule and used it to bug out after 4 months manufacturing PHs to take advantage of it. Kerry is a calculating opportunist who leaves nothing to chance.
Yes, the Kool-Aid can do wondrous things.
