This may play well for Cash & Kerry. It takes his Silver Star questions out of the news after bashing Bush, and this was going to come out anyway. This allows him to kill two stories at once and takes on the easier of the two. Then he apologizes to the soccer moms and he suddenly becomes sexy. His dingbat wife has to go along to make this happen for him and he is a war hero again with something on the side!! Can you say JFK??? The anti-war record is off the table thanks to Drudge and Republicans become prudes again.

Pray for W and The Election

The Kerry camp has long expected to deal with this, and have assured party leaders they can handle it''...
