Looks like the issue of who 'holds the keys' to Kerry's records is no longer in dispute. Time for Kerry to come clean.

Why does this thing smell? Could this be a set-up where Kerry releases his records and they find nothing? Maybe I'm just being paranoid.

What it says for sure is that Brinkley has some integrity. He might come out later in support of Kerry, but the fact that he didn't join the attack on the SBVT right off the bat gives him credibility to me. He wants more evidence.

I guess Kerry's pet biographer really does want to have a career and reputation after the loser flames out.

Maybe the Democrat establishment thought they had perfected what they had done to get Clinton elected and that they could use a similar "technique" with Kerry. Amazing.

Any word on when the results of the Navy investigation are due?

Dear Mrs. Clinton,

I've been an author of many books. If at any time in the near future you should need any help, I would be proud to assist you.

Sincerely,
Douglas Brinkley

It looks as if Brinkley thinks there's more to life than backing Kerry, esp. since he's noticed, along with the rest of the country, that his boy has assumed room temperature. He has a career to think about, nobody will take him seriously unless he distances himself from Botoxboy and fast.

Stay tuned for more revelations.

Brinkley better not go out alone at night. He evidently knows a lot of secrets about Kerry's past.

Brinkley is definitely trying to save his reputation in case of a total Kerry implosion. I understand everyone's paranoia about this whole records issue, but Kerry's not acting like someone who has nothing to hide. He's definitely scared about something in his records. Why else would he be complaining about the book and the commercials if they're based on lies. His released navy records could have put an end to this dilemna and he'd be up several points right now.

Well, if I were Brinkley, I'd distance myself too, if he EVER want another writing job after Kerry's real truth is revealed.

And in our last episode, our hero Brinkley was
desparately struggling to keep from falling into
the black hole he caused when his shoddy work caused
Kerry's unstable neutron star to collapse.

> Brinkley said: "Right now it's unclear. So we have to
> just wait to see what all this adds up to."

Whoa.

> ... it sounds like he is trying to distance himself
> from Kerry, and has less than full confidence in
> Kerry's honesty.

"Tour of Duty" is a work of fiction, starting with the
title. On Hollywood scripts, there is a "continuity
person" to check for internal consistency. Brink's
work wasn't up to B-grade direct-to-video standards.

> Could this be a set-up where Kerry releases his
> records and they find nothing?

Nope. The obvious problems with the released docs are
the smoke of a major fire below.

> Could it be possible that all these documents will
> be altered and then released to try to prove Kerry's
> statements.

The Navy won't tell you what's in Kerry's jacket without
his consent, but I'll bet they WILL confirm/deny that
any "records" Kerry releases are legit. They are
already investigating the Silver-V and the curious
three (3) separate citations for the Silver Star, one
disowned by the SecNAV whose name appears on it.

> Brinkley is a Yale Professor and he must be taking
> a lot of "hits" from his colleagues ...

After this outing, he needs to be watching out for hits
of the Fort Marcy Park kind.

The fact that there is an investigation at all suggests that a preliminary review of the matter disclosed irregularities. For example, presumably it would be very simple matter for the responsible Navy officials to determine if Lehman's signature is bona fide and was properly obtained. I think this has already happened and something was not kosher.

IMHO the investigation itself is something of a formality. Brinkley can read the writing on the wall and he is distancing himself from Kerry.

Sounds like kerry's hack knows which way the wind is blowing and wants to salvage the shreds of his professional reputation. It looks to me like he knows the truth about lurch is coming out, and he's preparing the Sgt Schultz defense: "I know nuzzink!"

From the article: "Clearly some of these military records should be made available to the press public."

That's better...
