Kerry's Flying Dog
The Washington Times ^ | 08/25/2004 | John McCaslin

VC surfaces

A new four-legged angle — actually a dog named "VC" — has suddenly materialized surrounding Sen. John Kerry's swift boat service in Vietnam.

In a 2004 presidential candidate questionnaire for Humane USA, Mr. Kerry was asked whether any pets have had an impact on his life.

"I have always had pets in my life, and there are a few that I remember very fondly," Mr. Kerry replied. "When I was serving on a Swift Boat in Vietnam, my crewmates and I had a dog we called VC.

"One day as our Swift Boat was heading up a river, a mine exploded hard under our boat," he continued. "After picking ourselves up, we discovered VC was MIA (missing in action). Several minutes of frantic search followed, after which we thought we'd lost him. We were relieved when another boat called asking if we were missing a dog."

Said Mr. Kerry: "It turns out VC was catapulted from the deck of our boat and landed, confused but unhurt, on the deck of another boat in our patrol."

Kerry writes great fiction. Perhaps he should team up with Michael Moore for a movie about his life.

this was actually on FR awhile back, before i joined up i remember reading about it, but it was so crazy i didn't believe he actually said it! Now we have proof! This dude is a pathological lier! No other way around it! This man CAN NOT be president! Mr. Kerry take one for your country and step down, and talk to you psychiatrist...

John just never gets the story straight. It was actually a killer rabbit, similar to the type that attacked President Carter a few years later, that scared VC, and caused him to leap from one boat to the other.

"I have always had pets in my life, and...... there are a few that I remember very fondly...

What kind of A-hat doesn't remember all their pets fondly? What, did they mess up your blow dried hair, or soil your French linen flower print fabric on your $20,000 dollar couches? Poo-poo on your hand made Italian loafers? Looser.

Holy cow
No military records on Mr. Kerry's Web site, which aides say is a complete accounting, mention a mine exploding under his boat or any dog. The only report of a mine detonating "near" Mr. Kerry's PCF 94 was March 13, 1969, when Mr. Kerry says he was injured and a man knocked overboard.
"Charlie" Rassmann is VC!!!

A recent candidate survey of the Humane Society queried of John Kerry, "Do you have any pets that have made an impact on you personally?" The haughty and highfalutin husband of the Heinz heiress replied: "When I was serving on a swiftboat in Vietnam, my crewmates and I had a dog we called VC. We all took care of him, and he stayed with us and loved riding on the swiftboat deck." Well, isn't that special! If you want a more accurate picture of Kerry's "service" in Vietnam, pets and all, C-SPAN will broadcast Kerry's dishonorable 1971 testimony to the...

Does this guy ever stop talking about Vietnam?

"Mr. Kerry, what is your favorite color?"
"Well, I remember in Vietnam I got pretty tired of Olive Drab."

"Mr. Kerry, where is your favorite vacation spot?"
"Well, I can tell you that while I was serving in Vietnam..."

Sort of like that little girl in Young Frankenstein, who is catapulted into her bed after Lurch, I mean Frankenstein's Monster sits on the see-saw.
