Kerry tried to spin this as a GOP smear. But it was good ol' Dem-friendly ABC News that has been running with this exclusive. Is ABC now part of the VRWC in Kerry's addled mind?

Not being with any military experience I don't know what to make of his claim that ribbons and medals are viewed absolutely interchangeably.

Can somebody with knowlege of that topic, please address whether this was or is true?

I think that the Dims are like sharks - they will eat their own if they smell blood in the water... and Kerry is definitely hemorrhaging!

McAuliffe was on Fox & Friends this morning, going hard after Cheney for not serving, making clear he, McAuliffe, was too young to have served.

The concerted effort is clear....Kerrey and the DNC's line of attack on this will be to swing hard at Bush's National Guard Record, and go after Cheney too. Kerrey and McAuliffe were clearly on the same script.

Kerrey opened with: "I'm glad to be here, Charlie, really glad to be here", with that phoney baloney smile super-glued on.

What I especially liked was Kerrey even blaming others for the medal throwing event.Kerrey said: "i was not in favor of throwing them over the fence. i thought we ought to lay them on a table and put them in front of people in a way that, you know, wouldn't be as challenging to many americans. other veterans felt otherwise. they took a vote. the vote was made, they voted to throw. i threw my ribbons. i didn't have my medals. it is very simple"

what is really very simple, is that over the years, Kerrey has treacherously, maliciously played word games with the truth, for personal advantage. Even ABC appears offended with this latest, verified on tape, deception.
