That's all I can find concerning his fictitious marathon run. Put the fairy tale in the same book as Christmas in Cambodia.
I don't vote on the basis of which candidate did or did not run a marathon or even whether he's a runner at all. If he did, great - that's an admirable feat. If he didn't, I don't hold it against him. I've never run anything over 5K, even though my husband has run several marathons, but I have some idea of what's involved. That's not the point, of course. The point is that Kerry (and possibly Edwards) seem to be lying about the accomplishment. How pathetic do you have to be to lie about running a marathon? Probably as pathetic as someone who puts in for a Purple Heart for shooting at a pile of rice and getting a few grains in his butt, I'd wager.
Can these morons tell the truth about anything?
