To: Congressman Billybob
Hannity had O'Neil on and he was terrific. The media took their cue from John-John and tried to pull Kerry out of the water now that he is under heavy fire, but you're correct--it will fail.

Hannity also said that Kerry's were scheduled to come on the program tonight, but canceled at the last minute.

I can only guess 2 reasons why they did this:

1. Now that the NYT and WP have come on board to defend Kerry, they decided to hide behind their skirts and let them try to destroy the Swift Vet Heroes.

2. Or, Kerry's people have realized that open, fact based, hard debate shows like Hannity and Colmes or even Crossfire are counter productive. The facts are not on their side, so they are in terrible danger everytime they appear.

I saw the H&C segment and agree--John O'Neill is absolutely unshakeable. With Hannity moderating and O'Neill telling his story I can't blame the dems for not wanting to show up. It's very telling that the dems didn't throw a talking head at O'Neill. It means that they're very afraid of the Vets. A one-on-one confrontation will leave them (dems) devastated. They have to lob their s**t bombs from a distance and hope for the best.
