The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth are credited with bringing John Kerry's real Vietnam war record to light, and now one of the authors of Unfit for Command, Jerome Corsi, says he's going to move to the Back Bay so he can challenge Sen. Kerry for his seat in Congress.
"I'm going to do it," said Corsi. "I've got serious political aspirations now."
Corsi, 58, is not a veteran, but he co-authored the book (that NewsMax helped to make a bestseller) with John O'Neill, that, along with the TV ads from the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, helped expose the real John Kerry to millions of voters.
Now, Corsi hopes to get some of those voters in one of the nation's most liberal states on his side.
"It may be time for a conservative movement to take hold in Massachusetts," Corsi said.
A managing partner in the U.S. Financial Marketing Group, Corsi - who got his PhD from Harvard, a hop skip and a jump from Boston, will sell his part of the company and devote his time to a political career.
He wants to run as a Republican, but told the Boston Herald that if he doesn't get financial backing from the Grand Old Party, he'll just run as an Independent.
And, he says he'll run even if Kerry doesn't.
Corsi is a bit of a controversial figure, even without his Kerry book. Corsi has posted comments on the FreeRepublic website where he reportedly called Islam "a cancer that destroys the body it infects," and called the pope "senile," all of which he claims were meant to be satirical.
The chair of the Mass. Democratic Party Phil Johnston was not amused, or enthused. "I know Massachusetts will not welcome a candidate whose calling card is a disturbing track record of slandering Catholics, the pope, Jews and Vietnam veterans. Carpetbaggers spreading lies and smears are not welcome in our state," he told the Herald.
Kerry's spokespeople had no comment, saying Kerry was too busy with his work in the Senate ... which we can understand. He must have a lot to catch up on, since he essentially took the last two years off to run for president.
The man wakes up every day next to Teresa Heinz Kerry. When if comes to a miserable life how can Corsi top that?
John Kerry attacking a fellow vet, it's what he does best ...
Thanks for the great news, piss. Now TeresaTox is SURE to leave skid-marks all the way down to the tire rims. EX-Senator Rice Butt can kiss his BIG, FAT CHECKBOOK good-bye.
So we agree. Guilt is something that would be determined by a trial, and since one has not happened (and let's get real, shall we? It ain't gonna happen), he is, by legal definition, not guilty.
I recall him mentioning this from the podium at the W2 Inaugural Ball.
It was somethign that he wrote here on FR. Someone tracked it down and identified him.
Hope he makes sKerry's life a living he!! -- his face is only going to get longer, folks!! There is only so much that botox can do!!
"Or better yet, let the Viet Nam Vets have him."

May be?!! May be?!!
It is loooong past time.
That's good for a laugh.
"No offense but... you don't know what you're talking about. Your hearts in the right place however."

a) never felt "offended" in my life
b) Making Kerry's life miserable is a noble cause & Corsi can deliver.
seems to indicate that only 'cause he had friends in high places.
Could it be that the good people of Taxechusetts, who know the real Rice Butt, just might throw the sorry bum out?
What's he talking about? They elected john kerry!
OUCH!
Good Luck getting past the Kennedy vote-fraud machine!
Yeehaw! Kudos and best of luck!!!
