I have to ask if anyone thinks that Clinton knew about all of this. After all, Elliot made these charges on Dick Cavet's show many years back. No one would pay any attention but maybe the Clintons dug this stuff up.

Of course, Clinton knew about this. Anybody who was paying attention knew about it.

Recall that the Swift boat vets called a press conference at the National Press Club in Washington D.C. about three months ago. At that time, they laid out their charges and documentation for all to see.

Except that most of the media didn't even bother to attend. And those that did chose to ignore the news that was being made. It wasn't news they wanted to report, you see.

The only people outside the closed political circles that were paying attention at the time were FReepers. In fact, I believe some attended the press conference...

John Kerry walked into a buzzsaw. And there was no secret that it was out there. Still, he walked straight into it -- counting on the mainstream media to protect him.

What an utterly arrogant dunce!

I have a new theory about the Kerry campaign: Part of Kerry's insecurity and narcissism is such that he can never be seen to be less than top dog. This applies to his staff as well. I've read stories that he would do things like telling his staff he was going to vote one way on a bill, then going in and voting the other.

So... I think he is loathe to take advice from anyone. So these blunders that we are seeing are Kerry's and Kerry's alone. To the extent that he does what his handlers say he probably does better. But this inability to let anyone else share in the decision making process may wind up being his downfall.

Of course he's a dunce.....but the lamestreamer's ARE still protecting him. And they will not cut and run, like he did in Vietnam. They hate Bush so much...they would help elect any oxygen pirate with a "D" behind their name.
