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.
Brinkley was not just a political lackey like Cahill and Devine and all the rest who have no place else to go but to try ride out the storm on this sinking ship. He was the "historian" who brought an air of credibility to the whole game. He was different than your typical spin doctor like a John Hurley who has no real credibility at all.
Now that Brinkley is gone it shows that there something in the Navy stuff that is going to unravel. He's going over the hill fast. He would stay around if there were nothing to this issue.
