I pulled my copy of B.G.'s book out (personally autographed in 1999 when I spent most of the day with him) and B.G. says that "Kerry, a Kennedy protege with white-hot political aspirations, ascended center stage as both a war hero and as an anti-war hero throwing away his combat decorations. His speech, apparently off the cuff, was eloquent, impassioned. This is referring to Kerry's speech before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
B.G. goes on to tell the story about Kerry's medals being on his Capitol Hill office wall. B.G. goes on to say "And Kerry's emotional, from-the-heart speech had been carefully crafted by a speechwriter for Robert Kennedy named Adam Walinsky, who also tutored him on how to present it."
Kerry looks more and more like a very dangerous oddball. Unfit to be a U.S. Senator much less president of the United States of America.
The folks in Massachusetts sure can pick 'em, eh?
