....so it's a bit of a stretch to say he wasn't in Cambodia."

A bit of a stretch? C'mon, Ms. Gore, Isn't it a huge effin' LIE to say he WAS in Cambodia? The jackass IS running for president, you know.

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Their contortions to deny his LIES border on the bizarre.

[Watery Tart]

What's bizarre to me is that the Kool-Aid audience BELIEVES this jackass. (Pardon my....well, just pardon my language.)

[YaYa123]

I posted it for you. Christopher Hitchens: Taking the Measure of John Kerry

Bump!

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Something tells me that John Kerry's conception of international boundaries is about as elastic as that of Hugo Chavez.

Do you work for free?

[The Scourge of Yazid]

Sleep?

What is this novel concept that you mortals call sleep?

I'm unaware of such a thing.

Why sleep when you have FreeRepublic?

-good times, G.J.P. (Jr.)

Jennifer probably hasn't looked at a map of Vietnam/Cambodia and thinks Vietnam is on one side of the river and Cambodia is on the other side.

Awww, go easy on poor Jenny. She probably can't read a map do to her publik skoolin'.

And yes, the Mekong (and it's btanches) isn't a border - as so many here have correctly pointed out. It flows SSE from and through Cambodia, to and through Vietnam.

Vietnam Map

btw, Now they're saying he spent Xmas in Sa Dec, 50 miles away, right (it gets sooooo confusing)? Well gee if he wanted to put himself closer to Cambodia, why not lie really good and say it was Long Xuyen?? That would have been a little better! (gd poser)

I would gladly work for free to help the folks who will fly into harm's way in the future.

I joined the US Air Force because I needed work. I found a family. And I don't charge family to do the things that help keep them alive.

I don't fault O'Grady for charging to speak to universities or most anywhere else. I fault him for wanting money to help teach those who follow how to stay alive if shot down.

...but when the USAF Life Support school asked him to speak about his experiences so they could use it to teach others (mainly on what not to do), he wanted $30K - according to one of the school instructors.

That sounds truly bizarre. Is there anything to back this story up, other than 'one of the school instructors' said so?

Sorry, but I'm really skeptical about reports like this.

You would think that after 5 days, they would have come up with a pausible excuse. Totally incompetent and indecisive. They couldn't even run a McDonald's properly, let alone a country.

You need own for Max Cleeland called "Beer Run"

[Wil H]

I wonder if they could answer this? If a plane crashes on the U.S./Canadian border, where do you bury the survivors?

he survivors can look after themslves but the fatalities would all vote democrat in the next election...twice..

[Cincinatus' Wife]

Thanks Wil H. I needed to know. Ha!
