Tim Russert pulled out a video clip of John Kerry admitting he had committed atrocities in Vietnam. He claimed in the clip he had burned villages to the ground, conducted search and destroy missions, and using his 50-caliber machine gun killed innocents in the process.

It astounds me that someone who can even admit doing such things can make a serious run for president. Though Kerry says in the clip that "thousands of other Vietnam veterans did the same exact things." (Thousands committed atrocities?)

The answer to Tim Russert's question should have given insight into a serious and reflective and compassionate man. Russert asked, "YOU ... committed atrocities?"

Kerry's response was a knee-slapping joke, "Where did all of that dark hair go, Tim, that's the important question for me ... (laughter trails off)." With behavior like this, it's easy to understand why people might see Kerry as more arrogant than President Bush.

Is this true?? Did our hero really respond to the question this way? Unbelievable!

Will he really be chosen as Dem candidate?

Well, believe it. That's exactly what he did.

Incredibly, you'd think that even Russert (D-NBC) would have to follow up on that but he just seemed to blow it off as no biggie.

No, he's the demoncRATs throwaway candidate.
He'll be forced to withdraw within the week before their commie convention.
Comrade Hillary will be "drafted to save the party."
They think she's the only one who can defeat the evil Bush.
