Hey, I'm just back from Seattle and off to Maine tomorrow but I wanted you guys to know about a MoveOn.org tv spot I saw out in Wash state this week. It shows all these photos of John Kerry in uniform and of the kind of boat he drove in Vietnam and talks about what a courageous guy he was and then it shows Bush with a smirky smile in his National Guard uniform and lists all his supposed "no shows" at Guard mtgs et al. I was pretty ticked and I felt it was rather ironic that Kerry had just decided (yeah right) to "take the gloves off" and go after Bush's war record and within a couple of days, pow, there's this ad. I'm certainly not naive enough to believe they ginned this spot up in 3 days. Kerry is such a fop. MoveOn.org is something to watch -- and counter.

Do you find it thought provoking that Kerry has so many photos and film of himself in 'Nam? A cynical person would think he thought those might come in handy when running for congress or the senate or maybe even president.

I don't think Kerry had planned to attack GWB's service, it really does make him look petty, but he had no choice since his equivocating on the medal tossing didn't make the controversy go away. He would have preferred to let orgs like MoveOn take the heat while he took 'the high' road. Charlie Gibson's segment nixed that.
