In today's Washington Post, there is a story about Kerry and some casual discussion he'd had with reporters, including about movies. He was asked if he was going to see "The Passion" and he gave this wishy-washy (surprise! surprise!) answer. Anyway, they asked what the last movie was that he did see, and he said Mel Gibson's "We Were Soldiers." I hadn't seen it, but just confirmed on Google that it is about... guess which war? I guess I've gotten oversensitized to this now, but doesn't it truly seem like every question leads to Vietnam? If they ask John Kerry his favorite restaurant, I've got five bucks says it will be a Vietnamese restaurant.

John Kerry doesn't recognize that he so overused his (short) Vietnam combat service that it is turning into a joke. My impression is that Kerry is like that, a blowhard of such proportions he doesn't know he is parodying himself. I expect that if he is (God forbid) elected he would become a widely ridiculed and disliked president.

He hasn't really accomplished much else in life, and constant reference to his two months in combat is an enormous diversionary tactic.
