Didn't know about the home movies thing. That is pretty wierd. The problem I had with Bush not letting go of his military past was the flightsuit photo op. I can see wanting to put the flightsuit on and taking the controls for old times sake. But it was played up way too much for my taste.

In the end, all of the mud slinging gets old. I would like to see a series of debates between the two so we could get all this filler out of the way and get down to issues.

This is about Kerry "cleaning up" his citations and medal's papers. You don't see anything weird about this?? And maybe just a TAD suspicious??

You can't ride in one of those birds without a flight suit - against safety regulations. That wasn't a case of not wanting to let go. And the pilot offered to let him take the controls -- I don't think that was planned. (Compare and contrast Kerry bragging to some poor ferry pilot about his "great ability" flying a Cessna. I was a Cessna jockey for years, and it ain't that hard! The darned things fly themselves.)

And the news media grabbed it because it was a great photo moment - they didn't start bad-mouthing it until after they'd played it for all it was worth.

Besides, he is the CinC.
