All that you say is already being done to include digging up old audio tapes and photos from '71 tying O'Neill to the Nixon/John Birch Society (non-existant)Wing of the GOP to attack Kerry and say that this is just Nixon reaching out from the grave to get Kerry.
Krugman hasn't been able to sit down after O'Reilly got done with him on Russert.

Its never the candidate's fault, its the staff's and hey if he loses, blame the voters. We're too stupid to appreciate the finer traits of His Haughtiness' greatness - when we are turned off by windsurfing. (laughing)
To quote Tony Soprano, Kerry looks like a real sick f@#$.
I don't doubt that Kerry's advisors have already written his concession speech.
You are right about Kerry being a narcissistic personality disorder. Like many clinical narcissists, due to pathological ambition, he has had a significant measure of success. The fatal flaw in the narcissist is the thin skinned sensitivity to criticism, and the susceptibility to shame when shortcomings are exposed.
This is the Achilles heel for a creep like Kerry, in contrast for example with a psychopath like Clinton who never felt shame no matter who he raped or killed. Clinton raged but Kerry burns with shame when he is exposed as a fraud or poseur. This is why the Swiftees have unhinged Kerry whereas broadside assaults on his history in the Senate, eg, leave him personally unmoved.
The RNC would do well to focus on exposing Kerry's distortions and lies, and USE RIDICULE wherever possible. Kerry cannot abide the thought that he might look ridiculous(see his actions when he fell down on the bunny slope)...it is so threatening to him that he becomes disorganized under the pressure. Indeed it may be part of the reason for his periodic, inexplicable "days off" when he disappears from close-up view. He may be having to retreat into seclusion to compose himself.
I'm a masochist. But it's being done for all you good folks. LOL
The self castration began with the phoney write up for the 1st PH and using several of these to get his sissy gonadless arse out of harms way and seek shelter under the red apron of dear Jane.
Luckily, none of this stuff is going to stick.
Fortunately, Kerry provides a large target for humorous jabs, and I think we will see more of them.
History often decides elections, though I think we fail to realize it for some years. In this case those children, and a bunch of former swift boat sailors may in fact be the difference.
Thanks for posting the actual diagnostics for narcissism.
You're right, Kerry demonstrates each and every one of the symptoms.
FWIW, I was acquainted with a member of the Massachusetts Forbes clan back in the 80's, and he detested John Kerry.
As always, excellent analysis.
Without trying to quote him, Press looked like his head was going to explode when he started on the SWIFTvets. His summary was that every last SWIFTvets statement was a lie, and that they'd all been disproved by the official Navy documentation. He didn't mention that the veracity of the official Navy documentation - not its mere existence - is exactly what's being questioned by the SWIFTvets.
Surprisingly, Press did assert that Kerry's VVAW activities were fair game for criticism and scrutiny.
Separately, Joe Klien was a real hoot on his CNN appearance after Zell Miller's speech. He was almost speechless, and he was so rattled I thought he was gonna' start crying.
bump for later link reading!
Good synopsis.
However, I think that you are wrong about the date of the whining/lying/spinning: "Transport yourself to the middle of 2005'
It will start with the Gay Agenda Driven NY Slimes within days after GW "Mondales" Kerry.
Before the weekend after the election is over, the ChiTribune/LA Slimes, Washington Compost, Atlanta Urinal and other left wing fishwraps will be screaming about the evil Swift Vets and other Vet Groups.
The Sunday after the election the left wing screeching/screaming heads on the left wing scream shows on ABCNNBC BS will be screeching about the evil Vets and VRWC.
Then it will last throughout GW's 2 nd term. During this time the left wing mediot arm of the DNC will chase away more conservatives and moderates. They will continue to shoot themselves in the foot and other critical areas. This election and the few years after the 2004 election is their last big hurrah. In the 2008 election, they will be a minimal factor.
Thanks for the dispassionate and analytical take on Kerry's narcissism. I think you've nailed it down.
Question: how would Kerry's constructed facade about Vietnam mesh with a clinical narcissistic disorder? As you mentioned, he seems unmoved by criticism of his Senate record, and even his of his shameful VVAW activities, but mention his actual service record and the guy goes ballistic.
Do you think the narcissism disorder has something also to do with lying in his contemporaneous VN diaries and in letters to his girlfriend from the Gridley?
If you have Rush on he's going ballistic at the RATs over all this.
