I guess we get his paystubs and call it a day.

These people make me sick.

Kerry is despicable and so is Cleland.

[jigsaw]

That dialogue reads like a comedy routine.
These medical records will wound Kerry more than his war injuries did.

[Cicero]

It's past time to release bill clinton's medical files, too.

I believe Kerry is terminally ill. He will try to get elected with Hillary of the ticket knowing full well he will not live out his first term.

[LiteKeeper]

I spent four times as much time in Viet Nam as Kerry did - so I will submit the request: "Show us your medical records, John Kerry!"

Bush released everything down to his DENTAL records to answer the Geobbels Big Lie from the democrats that Bush was a deserter. Kerry medals are extremely suspect, particularly the Purple Hearts that got him out of Vietnam after 4 months.

What is this, the 18 billionth example of complete deceit and hypocrisy by the "media."

[Interesting Times]

"That might be the height of hypocrisy, for people who never went to Vietnam [to ask for Kerry's wartime medical file]," Cleland, a leading Kerry backer, told WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg.

Do you suppose Cleland also considers it the "height of hypocrisy" for people who never served in the National Guard to ask for Bush's military records?

Nah...

[oceanview]

doesn't DoD have these, there is no freedom of information act way to get them? can Larry Klayman get in on this.

I heard Malsberg today, he seemed to hint that perhaps some of the three purple hearts might have been self inflicted, perhaps not provably so, but let's say that maybe the records would show the injuries were not sustained within the context of an incident involving enemy fire?

something smells on this. the guy in in Vietnam for 4 months (??), has three "wounds", then uses that to go home and join a political movement against the war.

WOW!! You may be on to something there. Kerry looks cadaverous.

[snippy_about_it]

I think I'm gonna puke. Grrrr. Cleland doesn't have a purple heart cause he blew himself up.

[gov_bean_ counter]

His face looks drawn and his color is awful. Lets see how his stamina hold up in a real balls to the wall campaign.

[Hon]

I appreciate the questions, but things would have been better still if Marlzberg had been better informed.

It wasn't Kerry's "training officer" who said Kerry didn't miss any duty days. It was his "commanding officer."

Also, Kerry didn't get out of the Navy six months early because of wounds. He got out early to run for Congress. He didn't run.

Eeeewwwww...what was the matter with GA voters that they ever elected this loser to the Senate? I guess they were impressed with a guy who picked up a live grenade far from the battlefield and blew himself up...or didn't they know that?

[Fenris6]

"Sen. Cleland, who lost three limbs in Vietnam but never received a Purple Heart, said Kerry's physical sacrifice had been just as great as his own"

ROTFLMAO! Cleland lost three limbs due to his own incompetence - picking up a fellow's grenade. He could have done that back in Ft Hood. At least Kerry's wounds weren't self-inflicted...or is that Cleland's point? LOL.

Kerry won't release his Medical Records because he "earned" his Purple Hearts shaving with a blunt razor.

What a dork.
