As Howie Carr put it in Winning votes, one cousin at a time:
Besides, ever since the Swift Boat Vets for Truth, Vietnam just isn't the automatic applause line it used to be. Friday night, Kerry almost forgot to mention it at all, until he found himself in the middle of his "I was an altar boy" peroration.
Yep, the Swifties were too swift for Kerry. Way to go Switfies!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What hasn't Kerry done?
I mean, it's almost like he was 8 or 9 people.
An outdoorsman.
Back when he was in law enforcement.
Back when he was an altar boy (and a fine tall one he was)
Back when he was a war hero.
Back when he had a wife with only 400 or so million.
Back in the day.
