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?

I think he is more of an out of touch elitist than he is stupid. I suppose he is too stupid to realize just how out of touch he is with reality.

I truly believe that by now Kerry truly believes he was a war hero.

Kerry is way out of touch with the average grunt/dogface/swabjockey of VN. He had to be one those 90 day wonders that thought he was a five star admiral. Every outfit seems to have had one.Once out of the Navy he was back living in La-La land with his rich and politically connected friends. I doubt that has a single friend that has military history in his background.
