That's funny. I hadn't seen that one before.

Quite a contrast, huh?

Mountaineer's off to Freep Kerry in West Virginia this morning. She told me earlier she's going to wear Mr. M's marathon medals around her neck! (He won't let her "toss" them...LOL!)

Effin's spin machine is in full throttle this morning. After being nailed by Good Morning America, they're trying to pretend the focus is merely whether he threw "ribbons" or "medals" back in 1971.

But, as Charlie Gibson pointed out, Effin allowed the myth of his throwing medals to hang out there for 13 years---1971 to 1984---years when being anti-war appealed to the donkey elites.

By '84 it was no longer in vogue to have been a war protester...and Kerry was running for the Senate. (Remember, this was Morning in America.) He changed his story, saying he would never have thrown away his cherished decorations.

I don't think the spin's gonna work.
