Key question..Kerry has given his wartime journal to Brinkley, said that's why he can't releasde it to the press. Will he be asked to make them public?..or will they all go in the tank
Yes and no.
The good news is that after just three days on the bookstore shelves, buchanan's latest rewrite of the same old book has dropped in price from $24.95 to $16.97; it's plummeting quicker then a buchanan for president campaign. At this rate it should be comparably priced to real toilet paper by the end of the week. Still, I'm sure his book will end up on a few coffee tables next to Michael Moore and Hillary Clinton.
The bad news is, the media is latching onto his book, calling him a "conservative icon" and using it to attack the President...just as Buchanan intended.
Now there are real folks out there in the fuzzy middle who might not know the truth about buchanan...they might actually fall for his BS.
Where has Fineman been lately?
hee hee you notice Howard Fineman's absense since the convention? He insulted Matthews, and Matthews is still pouting with him.
buchanan WAS a populist...today he's nothing more then a bitter tool of the left.
Matthews is VILE.
I had missed this from Matthews. I wash my hands of his show (again).
Translation: The ads are KILLING Kerry!
The "or something" part was really low class.
Chrissy said that Gergen was his kind of Republican last week...Gergen is a Republican?
You'll be back (again).
Buchanan is on record as saying he will vote for President Bush.
True. But deserving of the PH because it occured in the "heat of battle." Kerry's self-inflicted wounds did not, so arguably he did not deserve the PH's, and thereby, his early ticket home.
Yes perhaps, if an American combat infantry officer can accidentally injure himself with self-inflicted German machine-gun fire while assisting a downed soldier. Look here for another version of the story. Those fools are using "self-inflicted" in response to the Swifties. They don't have a clue what it means.
>>>Does Douglas Brinkley have ANY credibility left?
>He had none to begin with.
How can anybody with a ridiculuous rug like that have any credibility?

Are we boycotting Olbermann?
They already admitted Kerry did not spend Christmas in Cambodia.
" this is a total flip-flop"
Don't know if you saw my post on another thread-but,one of Kerry's swift boat vets, Patrick Runyon was on World News Tonight. Runyon has stepped in it, only adding to Kerry's woes.
1)Runyon gave a new version of Kerry's 1st PH.
2) This new version contradicts Runyon's previous statements in 2 books, that he had no idea how Kerry was injured, it was an arm scrape and he didn't even realize Kerry had been injured.
Guess he wasn't slipping all over Kerry's blood on the deck.
3)Runyon's new version contradicts today's remarks by the Kerry campaign that in fact, Kerry's 1st PH may actually have been as the SBVFT say it was- self inflicted.
It's actually getting quite hysterical watching the Keystone Kerrys falling all over themselves trying to reinvent history.
We should have sent the torquing and back flipping Kerry to the Olympics- he could have taken gold in every gymnastic event-especially the girls.
He said he ask the Kerry campaign for a comment about that and then he said that the Kerry people said it was possible the first Purple Heart was given for a un-intensionally self-inflicted wound.
Wow--I posted that I heard this on Brit's show. I am just making my way reading posts on this thread so am just seeing your report. Yes, I heard it. I see on my pings page someone down thread points out that it's not just being wounded--it's the circumstances, of course.
This is just stunning and a huge vindication of the Swift Vets.
LOL!
Says she claimed a self-inflicted gunshot wound.
Michelle got buffaloed by Chris, confusing "self-inflicted" with "shot himself on purpose".
Chris repeatedly asked her if she was claiming that Kerry shot himself on purpose, and she never just said "no".
A slick gamble by Chris, and it paid off.
