Yup

Sometimes a leftie does something right

[dixiechick2000]

Yep...stopped clock, and all. ;o)

[El Gato]

(former) Senator Kerrey seems to have found his cojones, which seem to have gone missing about the time he cast the deciding vote for BJ Clinton's tax increase.

Perhaps since his own role in what the anti-American peace mongers would call a war crime, having come out a few years ago, has freed up his intellect from the fear of that coming out, and his basic sensibility is now coming out.

[El Gato]

He has been there and has paid the price.

Indeed, that price was the major part of a leg, and likely his first marriage as well, even though he met and married his first wife *after* returning from Vietnam. It probably didn't help that he had something of a secret to keep, involving what the whacked out left would call a war crime, but which was more like, "in a war stuff happens"

What a difference an ‘e’ makes.

Thanks for posting this, jern. MinorityRepublican and I also posted it on 5/21 and 5/22 respectively. But Kerrey’s comments certainly deserve more attention than they will receive. As far as I’m concerned, this article is as good of an explication, of why the Iraq campaign was necessary, to come from any commentator of any political persuasion.

“What a difference an ‘e’ makes.”

Yep, when you think about Bob Kerrey, ‘e’s an ok bloke; when you think about John F’in Kerry, ‘e’s not so ok.
