"Swiftboated by his own party".......
and mostly by himself, in my estimation.
Kerry is a very conflicted man. I truly believe that, deep-down, he knows he's led the life of a phoney and a fraud. I also think the part that haunts him most is that he knows he was really a coward in VN and punked out. This causes him to try to act as Mr. Macho and also condescend others.
He really belongs in therapy, not the US Senate.
Totally agree. The 'man' has head noises.
