Why would you be making excuses for/attempting to justify what Kerry did? He can do this in Washington with the rest of the America-hating liberals later this week. He doesn't need to hog the spotlight and inconvenience 'the little people' who don't have the luxury of going to the ceremony in DC.
I am NOT in anyway attempting to justify that bastard.
I am CASTIGATING folk here for refusing to take the high road President Reagan would have urged them to.
