Kerry is sounding more and more like Gore -- telling tall tales every day.

He isn't even as adept as Gore! And that's a damning charge.

"The paper also reported that Kerry claimed to have flown to Paris and “talked with both delegations at the peace talks".

IIRC, the "both" delegations Kerry talked with in Paris were the North Vietnamese and the Viet Cong, not the government of South Vietnam.

Valor can be defined as putting your blood where your mouth is. Even "putting your money where your mouth is" is not so clearly the antithesis of cheap talk as valor is.

Since journalism is the mass production of talk, journalism is naturally inclined toward cheap talk. Cheap talk - the advocacy of easy fixes at the expense of the intergenerational long run - defines liberalism in general and the anti-valor ("antiwar") movement in particular. That is why liberalism, and why the anti-valor project, emanates from journalism.

Apart from that understanding it is impossible for a conservative to understand how, after smearing the US troops in Vietnam, Senator Kerry has gotten as far as he has politically.

If journalism can install Kerry in the WH . . . perish the thought.

Unnecessary and Illegitimate

BACK IN 1971, John Kerry said that 200,000 Vietnamese a year were “murdered by the United States of America.” Now he says he didn’t mean “murdered” and wasn’t referring to U.S. soldiers. Well then, what in the world did he mean?

He does not know what he means, so I wish people would quit confusing him.

So did Kerry commit perjury in 1971, or is he lying now? (Or should that be "and/or"?)

Although the sentence sound clear to normal people, Kerry appeared to be resorting to Clintonese. It depends on the definition of "murdered," "United States of America," "200,000" and "Vietnamese."

Will he claim that he meant Vietnamese bugs, not people?
