Ironically, this will end up being the most damning aspect of his 1971 testimony in terms of its impact on this 2004 campaign.
The really problem Kerry faces isn't just the content of his testimony -- it's the delivery. The most recent SBVT ad has been devastating to Kerry because it paints an accurate, but damaging picture of him. How many undecided voters from swing states like Missouri and Ohio are going to cast a vote for him after hearing his limp-wristed, New England prep-school act as a backdrop to those former POWs who talk like real Americans?
He does sound like Thurston Howell, doesn't he? You almost expect him in the testimony to star talking about Lovey!
