A polygraph taken by the doctor would shut everyone up real quick.

From the way the DNC threat read to me, it was a semantics issue. They said "the man who pretended to be the doctor who treated Senator Kerry" ... blah blah blah ...

From what I understand, the medical officer became a doctor. He didn't claim in the ad to be a doctor at the time he treated Kerry; his title was Medical Officer or similar.

That same thing goes for the whole of the threat letter.

Regardless, the vet in the ad never claimed to be a doctor, even if he now is one. Semantics. Bill Clinton redux.
