Sen. John Kerry, whose 2004 presidential campaign was torpedoed by critics of his Vietnam War record, said Friday he has personally accepted a Texas oilman's offer to pay $1 million to anyone who can disprove even a single charge of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
In a letter to T. Boone Pickens, the Massachusetts Democrat wrote: "While I am prepared to show they lied on allegation after allegation, you have generously offered to pay one million dollars for just one thing that can be proven false. I am prepared to prove the lie beyond any reasonable doubt."
Kerry, a Navy veteran and former prosecutor, said he was willing to present his case directly to Pickens, who provided $3 million to bankroll the group during Kerry's race against President Bush. Kerry said he would donate any proceeds to the Paralyzed Veterans of America.
The senator said Pickens issued the challenge Nov. 6 in Washington, while serving as chairman of a 40th anniversary gala for American Spectator magazine.
In the letter, Kerry offered to travel to Dallas to meet with Pickens in a public forum or to invite him to come to Massachusetts.

John Kerry still Long in the Face.
I have a feeling we’re going to get another taste of John F’n Kerry’s subjective reality.
I don’t think you could of illustrated the outcome of this John Kerry trying to take on the Swiftboats any better.
Is Kerry going to bring his redacted and self-written copies of his service records to "prove" how great he is?
What does he care, it’s Ter-ay-za’s money.
Apparently ABC didn't want to wait around?
The writer also claims first that Kerry granted access to his full record, then states that it was the same docs he released prior to the election.
Oops, that shoud have read "do not know WHAT"...
Boone didn’t get rich giving away money to fools.
Pay him $1 million to sign the SF-181 and submit it.
Good luck Rabbit Tooth.
you regularly see in american newspapers about a foreign country:
“they don’t have a free press”.
yet, how many tv-morons in america know that john kerry negotiated
with the north viets in paris while he was still in the u.s. navy reserves?
Fat chance that will happen though, Kerry is blowing smoke.
Yep , he long in da face, but short on the grey matter.
And this was almost the prex of the USA? Shiver.
Oh, oh, I can’t wait, the suspense is killing me - does this mean that he’s prepared to show off “the hat”?
Please do Americans a favor, and capitalize the word "American."
