Fox will cover the speech live...one key question..will Kerry take questions from the press. Will he be asked to release his contemporaneous diaries? Will he be asked to release his complete military records? Will he attempt to mitigate his hideous testimony to the Senate accusing Americans of War crimes?..Will he say he was wrong about being in Cambodia?
Anyone know what time kerry was suppose to start his lies??? Something tells me he keeps clintoon time.....
We tried that once, with mixed results.
It's lose-lose right now for Kerry. He'll be slammed for hanging tough, Nixonian "limited hang out," or for caving in.
Correction: that's the Kerry way, not liberal way...
No, John, exaggerating your position is telling everyone you ran for an eighty-yard touchdown when, in fact, it was a 74 yard touchdown. When you weren't even on the football team, and, in fact, did not even attend that school, it's called "lying."
Will he actually show up?
Well, I can't wait in his hiness any longer, have to go take a shower.
Incredible! I just saw that and it PISSES ME OFF that newsmen like Rick Fulbaum just let him totally get away with a statement like that!!!!
Bump for later review....
"This statement ALONE should turn off 3/4 of the non-vet and 100% of the VETS in our nation."
Not a chance of this making a big difference. You forget who the MSM has been servicing.
Schneider did just make the same point I made....how funny it is that JOhn McCain's image is being used in 527 ads. (I wish Mitch McConnell would go on television and LHAO at McCain-Feingold Campaign Finance Reform. He deserves the big, public opportunity to say: "See, I told you so!!")
Kerry just answered the door, saw the flaming paper bag, and bgan stomping... ;0)

KERRY PHONES SWIFT BOAT FOES
**Exclsuive**
Dem presidential hopeful John Kerry personally phoned anti-Kerry swift boat vets, the DRUDGE REPORT has learned.
Kerry reached out to Robert "Friar Tuck" Brant Cdr., USN (RET) Sunday night, just hours after former Sen. Bob Dole publicly challenged Kerry to apologize to veterans.
Brant was skipper of the #96 and # 36 boat and spent time with Kerry in Anm Thoi. Kerry and Brant slept in the same quarters, and Brant used to put Kerry back to be at night when Kerry was sleepwalking.
Brant received a call from Kerry at his home in Virginia while he was watching the Olympics on TV.
The call lasted 10 minutes, sources tell DRUDGE.
KERRY: "Why are all these swift boat guys opposed to me?"
BRANT: "You should know what you said when you came back, the impact it had on the young sailors and how it was disrespectful of our guys that were killed over there.
[Brant had two men killed in battle.]
KERRY: "When we dedicated swift boat one in '92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn't talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans."
Kerry then asked if he could meet Brant -- man to man -- face to face.
Brant declined the invite, explaining that Kerry was obviously not prepared to correct the record on exactly what happened during Vietnam and what happened when Kerry came back.

His only chance is to announce an affair. Sexual deviance is a good trait for liberals.
If he is, it's probably a fine old French Cognac.
potty break and he still has not shown up...40 minutes late
Tell me about it. Past midnight here and I have to get up early.
"Well, I can't wait in his hiness any longer, have to go take a shower."
LOL they are probably monitoring this thread waiting for everyone to have to actually do something other than monitor his dribble.
The military has since Vietnam, reversed course..the CMH is harder to win now..indeed many say that the only way to win it now is posthumously...if you survive..it's bumped down to to the Navy Cross, or DSC..if you rewsad some of the citations for the Navy Crosses recently awarded to Marines..many posted on FR..it's hard not to imagien these being worthy of the CMH..
