The gist of Kerry's argument. "Medals" and "ribbons" are interchangeable, so Kerry wasn't lying when he told the interviewer back in '71 that he had given his "medals" back.

But when Gibson came up with quotes from Kerry in which he had clearly distinguished between medals and ribbons, Kerry just replied with bluster, raised W's National Guard record again, and said that this was all a GOP smear that he wasn't going to let them get away with.

Kerry doesn't have a mouth, he has a slit in his face where his lies comes out.

I have the interview on Tivo and am planning on transcribing it.

When did ABC and Charlie Gibbson become part of the VRWC??

GREAT discussion thread..thanks mucho!!

One thing painfully (for Kerrey supporters), obvious from this morning's interview: Over the years, Kerrey has deceptively tailored his description of the events that day, to fit the audience.

Another....Kerrey was reduced to the old "change the subject" sctsick. He kept changing the subject to Bush's NG service instead of responding to Gibson's questions.

FOXNews has reported on the GMA confrontation, but without video. Fingers crossed ABC is witholding it till after tonight's Peter Jennings report. (fingers crossed, but not holding my breath.)

I will watch NIGHTLINE tonight to see if Koppell picks up the GMA match...(not yet a torch).
