John Kerry—the most decorated of those who called each other "brother"—was going to be walking point.

"So?" I said, as we stood under the stars, hugging ourselves against the chill.

He smiled. "I got a better place for you to sleep."

I trailed after him to a parking lot where half a dozen former junior officers in fatigues were leaning against a Mercedes sedan. John made introductions, assuring them that though not a vet, and in the employ of a publication that had declared Vietnam "the right war in the right place at the right time," I had spent a stretch of involuntary quality time with those who’d been shooting at them not long before. That seemed to satisfy, and we set off in the Merc toward our objective, which turned out to be a Georgetown townhouse belonging to an assistant something or other at the Pentagon. He was away for the evening, but had left a key, which John extracted from his uniform blouse and fitted into the lock of the front door.

"Talk about being in the enemy camp," I said, as it swung open.

He laughed. "The owner’s a good guy. He said we could use his ‘hooch’ for the night."

Timely resurrection of another
quibble/lie/deceit/hypocracy
that earned him the name
John "Faux" Kerry.

Is Kerry Blowing It?

He laughed. "The owner’s a good guy. He said we could use his ‘hooch’ for the night."

Ah, so that's what the kids were calling it back then.

bump for a little traction...

Another reason to believe that the dem front-runner...and most others, for that matter...wouldn't know the truth if it hit them on the head! (Nor would it do any good if it did!)

BUMP FOR THE MORNING SHIFT

This can't be right

www.johnkerry.com is saying (until they Beria it like they did his January 69 "combat records")
In Fact, Kerry Biographer Says Kerry Slept on Mall, Used house for business and organizing (its not like he had a cell phone in 1971).
"Although he slept on the Mall, he [Kerry] used the Georgetown home of Oatsie and Robert Charles as a place to conduct business." [Douglas Brinkley, Tour of Duty, p. 364]

Asked how many medals he flipped onto the steps, Mr. Kerry (befuddled, perhaps, by the absurdity of the query) replied: "I can’t remember, six, seven, eight, nine."

In 1984, while running for Senate, he presented the revised version to The Boston Globe: He still had his own medals (he offered to show them to an upset union man); he’d thrown someone else’s. That zig would be followed 12 years later by a zag. Asked by The Globe why he hadn’t thrown his own (doesn’t anyone at that paper have better things to do?), Mr. Kerry explained that he "didn’t have time to go home and get them."

Oh, yes, just in case anyone asks you about Jane Fonda again, remember: When she was manning that Commie ack-ack gun, American pilots had clear sailing.

On an April night in Washington 33 years ago, a tall, slender man........dreamed of one day reaching the pinnacle of his idol, John Fitzgerald Kennedy.

Is it my wild imagination, or does there seem to be serious medal/ribbon filtering over at DU?

Still to come out is...where did he live (and paid by whom) between his divorce (oops, he wasn't in a recognized marriage,my bad)..or his whatever and when Mrs.Ketchup bought him some places to live?

There's eight or nine years there that haven't been explored yet and I'm sure there are some interesting arrangements lurking in the details.

No one’s saying that Mr. Kerry’s cooked. But McGovern parallels (prez candidate McG won only Massachusetts--Kerry's state) give him a toasted look he didn’t get skiing in Sun Valley.

Hahahah. Love it. Looks like the waffler got singed.

[OXENinFLA]

This is mentioned in the NIXION TAPES too.

Speaking of unexplored avenues...there was an interesting story yesterday about a offshore tax shelter scheme in the Caymans that Kerry was involved in that did not seem to get much coverage now or in 2003, when it was originally uncovered. When I did a Google search on the company he supposedly invested in...there were no results. Bogus company?

An Offshore Tax Shelter [Kerry's]

Kerry Took A Loss In Tax Shelter In 1984 To Avoid Political Fallout [Kerry And The Caymans]

Consider Kerry's comments in the second link...of course stated in a way that only a waffler like Kerry could do:

Asked if Ginvest was created specifically for his investment, he replied: "I think that's correct. I think they created some entity that became called whatever, you know, name they gave it, which became the conduit or the holding company for whatever transactions were that generated the `loss,' income, depending when and how they bought what they did, and they were the ones who knew how to do it."

And as the stories validate, he was against tax shelters before he was for them, LOL!

[ravingnutter]

I take that Google search thing back...when I looked at the second story, I noticed it was Ginvest, not Gin Vest as in the original story I read. There is quite a bit on Ginvest, but I can't read "furrin" languages. Can anyone out there help?

Singed is okay, but I prefer 'burned to a crisp'.
