Don't feel too bad. John Kerry got confused for a long time WRT Bob Kerrey as well. His website claimed that he, John Kerry, was on a certain committee (or was chairman, I've forgotten), when it was actually Bob Kerrey. True story. Kerry didn't even know that he wasn't on that committee.

(Can someone correct me on the details, please?)

You're pretty straight on the facts. In 2004, John Kerry posted on his website that "John Kerry served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for 8 years and is the former Vice Chairman of the Committee" -- although he had never served in that position and was falsely claiming Sen. Bob Kerrey's record as his own.

He was busted by NewsMax and forced to "just shut up and take it" as Republicans suggested that his record of missing 76% of the public meetings of that committee might have something to do with his inability to remember whether he'd been its vice-chairman.
