...Pat Oliphant, who appears in the Washington Post and many other newspapers, offered a cartoon showing the Swiftees as Bush-backing deadbeats sitting round a bar bitching: "I never seen Kerry do nothing hee-roic," says one loser. "Damn right," says another. "You and me was right there in latrine maintenance. We orta know."
The redneck spelling's a nice touch, ain't it? I wonder which of the anti-Kerry campaign's 254 Swift vets, including 17 of Lieutenant Kerry's 23 fellow officers, Oliphant thinks were in latrine maintenance. Maybe he's got in mind fellows like Paul Galanti, who appears in the latest anti-Kerry ad and whose plane went down over North Vietnam in 1966. He was held in the "Hanoi Hilton" Viet Cong POW camp until 1973. That's seven years getting tortured by the gooks, only to be mocked by some lame-o cartoonist as a redneck latrine operator...
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?

Classic. Steyn Bump.
Mark Steyn was in a series of gay porn movies in Amsterdam? Man, you learn something every day... :D
Thank God someone else thinks the elite Senator Kerry is a fool.

I searched "Steyn" and "stupid", but didn't find it.
No biggie. Sometimes the search function has problems, I think. :)
LOL!
Classic!
LOL !
I never thought I would see "Steyn" and "stupid" in the same sentence.
"If this campaign were any more inept, Michael Moore would be making a documentary claiming Kerry's a Republican plant secretly controlled by Karl Rove and the House of Saud."
That Steyn is too smart for his own good- he's figured out our secret plan!!
I think Mark Steyn has had Kerry pegged for years. This column is great, as usual.
Great article. This guy is good.
And we though that Mark just had a bigger brain than the other pundits.
Brinkley is now avoiding this mess not available to defend Kerry? Has anyone heard more about this? Wasn't Brinkley supposed to be coming up with the correct Kerry in Cambodia story?
If you read the entire article, you can't help but laugh at the ads appearing immediately to the right of Steyn's column.
One says, "John Kerry needs you. Help take back the whitehouse."
Another, "Help us beat Bush. donate $50 to MoveOn...Help take back America."
I'm sure most people after reading Steyn's article will be responding to these well place ads. {SARCASM}
BWAAAAAAA
Funny thing, though, is that the Telegraph is a UK paper, albeit with a global readership. The Dems wouldn't be soliciting political contributions from foreigners, would they?
