I read on another thread that Brinkley has been hired as an NBC analyst.

One way to shut him up.

Lack of credibility hasn't slowed down the lefties yet...
Rather, Jennings, the other Brinkley, the lying traitor Kerry, Klintoon, the draft dodger and his hanger-on wife till she got her own job, Clark Bar, Michael Moron, the Kennedys...any of them, Jimmy Carter, Al Bore...
and one of my all time favs Gray "Dimwit" Davis...
I could go on all night...
"Credibility", heck liberals don't even know how to spell it! LMAO

Why has the old "MSM" media let this slide?

Is that a trick question? ;-)

From comments by Andrew Ferguson to make David's little boy lose more sleep...

About Kerry:

*snip*

He has slid from one side of this formula to the other as the situation requires, and only a few of his hostile fellow veterans have been so crude as to point out that, by his own logic, he is a war criminal.

"I never wanted to be a professional veteran," he protested to a reporter during one of his early political campaigns. But of course that's what he's been, unavoidably.

In his public presentation, he is a dour, pompous, and unlikable man.

His political career--and his success during this presidential campaign, when his fellow Democrats ache for a candidate who will appear strong on "national security"--is unimaginable without his extraordinary service in Vietnam.

God knows, and experience proves, that he won't shut up about it. It has become his own personal bloody shirt.

Kerry's eagerness to bring up his military service at every opening strikes many people, including all Republicans, as opportunism, as just one more instance of an ambition that will exploit anything on the path to its own fulfillment.

But there are other possibilities, if we can briefly extend him the benefit of the doubt. It might also be the way a reflective man responds to an experience he's never quite been able to get over.

And because he can't quite get over it, he doesn't want us to either. This may be narcissism, but it's not opportunism, necessarily, and in any case it's perfectly understandable, and probably not worth criticizing. (Oh, I think it is <<<---my comment)

Brinkley writes at great length about Kerry's antiwar activism and only a bit less about his later political career.

For anyone interested in these phases of the story, however, "Tour of Duty" is nearly worthless. His devotion to Kerry is simply too large. More at the link

As Grampa Dave says: "Christmas, 1968: Kerry with his Swift Boat Crew
in Scambodia. Kerry is wearing his CIA hat that came from Richard Nixon
a month before Nixon was sworn in as President."

The AP reported on this? Well, Kerry has opened the floodgates, imo, when he condemned the president and the Swifties yesterday.
