I could see Kerry asking for purple hearts, especially if he wanted to be prez before he even went to college. As for why Bill Clinton did not, my guess he probably has herpes. Neal says there are rumors about Bill and I wonder what they are.

Bubba probably has the same variety of herpes that Robin Williams "donated" to one of his fans (and got sued for).

The word I heard on Clinton was that not only does he have STDs--he also was admitted to the an Emergency Room in Little Rock for an overdose of cocaine. There was an article about it once here on FR that had testimony of the nurse and a technician on call.

Kerry? The author has it pegged---his wounds were very, very minor and if that is revealed, Kerry will look petty, cowardly, and stupid.

Stephen Ambrose wrote about a man on the beach at D-Day who refused a purple heart for a shell fragment. The soldier felt it was superficial compared to the men on the beach who had legs and arms blown off who got the purple heart. But, that soldier was a man.

Sure, Willie probably has herpes and a couple of other STDs and some chemical depedencies that we never knew about. But, the reason he concealed his medical records was that, after fathering Danny Williams, son of a Little Rock, black hooker, he had a vasectamy. His records prove this. And, having proved he was impotent, the issue would then switch to Chelsea's fatherhood. From that lantern jaw of hers, it is clear that Web Hubbell is her father. That is why Willie wouldn't release his medical records. And, because the ultra-left wing, neocommunist media is as corrupt as he is, they let him get away with it.

the answer is ... Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds (extensive history of drug abuse including LSD)

You'd think Kerry would be proud to reveal his medical records re. war wounds. Silly me.

The way I understand it is that Kerry, being the Senior Officer, was the one who requests the Purple Hearts for those under his command. Any Soldier receiving three Purple Hearts can request relief from combat duty and be transfered State side. I also heard that Kerry did not miss 1 day of duty relating to any of his wounds.

I remember hearing an interview with the manager of a Major Hotel (near the Meadowlands in NJ) where the hotel was asked on very short notice to accomodate Billy Clintooon. The manager was asked if there was anything special that had to be done?

The only thing that was out of the ordinary was the requirement that they maintian very high humidity for Billy. It had something to do with keeping his nasal pasages moist!

kerry's medical files will raise as many questions as they answer

[kennedy]

If the records ever do come to light, I'm betting that they will show that Kerry submitted himself for a purple heart each time he got a minor scratch, knowing that once he got 3 of them he could get a cush job stateside.

[kennedy]

Are there any Republican Senators or Congressmen who are decorated Vietnam veterans that can lead the charge to make Kerry release his military and medical records?

[stylin19a]

some of x42i's early medical records were lost in a a fire. course the fire had to be set 3 different times in the same records facility to get them all

[ChrisS]

It may be that it is not Kerry's Vietnam-era medical records that he is concerned about. As I understand it, the Senator was a patient at a prominent, Boston medical center in the early to mid 90's. I learned this at the time of this admission, from a person who worked at that medical center's cardiac care unit. Has the Campaign been asked about this admission?
