I think the only reason for this footage (and I think there will be more) is that Ketchup Boy was not quite as silly looking then as he is now. Brokaw only airs this junk to make the bozo look better.
Remember, Nixon is remembered as a crook by a lot of people. Now Kerry is painted as another well-intentioned victim of the Watergate Gang.

Oh, believe me, I understand all of that.
I posted this morning that Chris was doing this story on Hardball and I predicted a scenario of poor Decorated War Hero harrassed by Tricky Dick.
I am here to say that I saw the story and it was not good for Kerry.
As I said, it sets up a context for future stories that I can assure you are coming out on his anti-war activities.
I was pleasantly surprised by the more even-handed tone of the story than I anticipated.
