This just might very well be the strategy behind this "non-story" story coming out....to deflect attention away from the great body of evidence over his Vietnam era activity...so as not to EXPOSE just what the real truth is behind/related to his anti-war associations/actions taken in the past.
Savage made this very point on his radio show last night. He compared it with what happened similary with Bill Clinton. Just when the heat was being turned up on "China-gate" all of a sudden the Monica story broke and for nearly the rest of his presidency, there was very little-to-no focus on China-gate, which should have been the REAL STORY to expose the traitorous Clinton crime machine...NOT the Lewinsky mess.
Maybe Kerry figures he can survive an "it's-only-about-sex" scandle a whole lot better than an "anti-war, anti-American, communist-sympathizer" scandle. Hmmmmm? (thought Savage made an excellent point.)
