This exact same 'story' ran in the NYT about a week ago. Kerry is dragging reporters and presumably others into his office to meet the 'researchers' he hired to create his new legacy sans Swifties. He is working the editorial circuit in friendly venues (which isn't an option for GOPers who have no friendly editorial boards for the most part). Kerry did the same thing a year before he ran last time by trying to personally meet with every reporter he could find and 'prove' to them that he did actually have friends and was a 'likeable' guy. It was perverse in its obscene naked ambition to convince people that he was not who they already knew he was (an elitist whose only resume item was 4 months in Nam and being Dukakis' Lt Gov.)

He may try to create a new version of history but the Swiftboat Vets still have a website and have archived everything that was researched in 2004. 'Navy Chief' painstakingly analyzed the after action reports and other records that were on K's website right down to the finest details. There's also been added a whole trove of news articles about previous senate campaigns that reveal that his essential character and methods have never changed. He just does not get that the Vets were only interested in revealing HIM to be the liar he has always been and defeating him for what he did to them and were not all that much concerned with Bush's campaign. It didn't matter to them who he was running against--they just wanted to stop him. Maybe another go at it will help that sink in. Uh, did I really mean that last sentence? Nah, he'll never learn!
