What sort of idiot would make the centrepiece of his presidential campaign four months of proud service in a war he's best known for opposing?

And, in Mark Steyn fashion...the $64M question is asked!

[Dog Gone]

Kerry is truly running a stupid campaign. It's funny, because the Democrats always accuse the Republicans of being the very thing that they are.

I'm feeling better about this election all the time.

[maryz]

But in practice they "support our troop" – singular – just Lieut Kerry

Well, that clears that up!

Great article, Pokey -- thanks!

[Rummyfan]

Bump for later read.

[MEG33]

Kerry is also stupid..BUMP!

[SunStar]

I said a couple of weeks back that John Kerry was too strange to be President, and a week or two earlier that he was too stuck-up to be President. Since I'm on an alliterative roll, let me add that he's too stupid to be President. What sort of idiot would make the centrepiece of his presidential campaign four months of proud service in a war he's best known for opposing?

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

Steyn knocks another one out of the park!

Maureen Dowd, the paper's elderly schoolgirl columnist, dismissed the dissenting Swiftees as "creepy-crawly", "stomach-turning", "sleazoids".

Well ain't THAT rich, from a woman with a bunny-boiler fascination with Michael Douglas! ;-)

Switch on the TV these days and you'll see John O'Neill, principal spokesman for the hundreds of Swift boat veterans who oppose their old comrade Kerry, talking calmly and patiently about the facts, citing chapter and verse and relevant footnotes, while some deranged interviewer is going berserk.

I've noticed this, too. They're so hysterical to stop the truth, they're destroying any credibility they might have had. Hopefully, they'll never catch on to this.

<< How cocooned from reality do you have to be to think you can transform one of the most divisive periods in American history – in which you were largely responsible for much of the divisiveness – into a sappy, happy-clappy, soft-focus patriotic blur without anybody objecting?

Most Vietnam veterans of my acquaintance loathe John Kerry and if he wasn't aware of that, he's too out of it to be President. >>

Yep.

And: that can happen to strange, stuck-up, stupid, second-hander rich gigolos and particularly to parasitical, strange, stuck-up, stupid, self-loathing, sitzpinkler, touchy, thin-skinned, rich gigolos who have long surrounded themselves with yes-girly-boys.

Yep yep yep

OMG, this one is great. I love the fact that it's in a Brit paper too :o)

Good one Pokey. Thanks for the ping.

[billhilly]

Just perfect!

[alwaysconservative]

Thanks for the ping, Pokey! Steyn has a much more biting tone in this article; you can sense his real outrage (like most of the voting public) for sKerry and Co's trashing of VN vets for political purposes, and how disparaging he is of sKerry's glass jaw.

Personally, I think sKerry has some kind of mental problem to be engaging in his fantasy life and not realizing that an inability to admit to the truth does not prepare him well to be CIC.

[Victoria Delsoul]

Nothing the "sleazoids" say about Kerry is as bad as what he said about them 33 years ago in his testimony to Congress, when he informed the world that his comrades - his "band of brothers" - had "personally raped, cut off ears, cut off heads" etc, throughout their time in Vietnam.

That's true, and Kerry is spinning this like a top. His story keeps changing with every passing day.

[Captain Peter Blood]

Well leave it to Mary Steyn to nail it as usual.
One thing of interest here is that Kerry is having to spend precious campaign money now trying to defend himself.
Hiring lawyers, and you know those guys regardless have to be paid, also I see that he is having to spend money to produce ads to refute these accusations. Precious money that he will need down the line later.
With California looking more like a horse race he has to spend money there.
So Kerry is having to spend money in places and for things he never imagined which is good for Bush.
