Amen! My favorite part was when Colmes started smarmily quoting "Lehman said this" in the medal citation...and O'Neill shot back that Lehman was SecNavy 14 YEARS AFTER KERRY's SERVICE and has no personal knowledge of these events!!! LOL!
SUGGESTION FOR THE SWIFT VETS: When the Kerry thugs go into their spin about "you weren't on his boat", pull out an enlarged picture of the boats in close formation! Show how close you were. Preferably, take a frame from Kerry's own bio-film at the convention..the frame showing the boats going down the river!
I noticed Lehman's name on the published citation.. also that it was, I think, undated. Never quite understood if it was written years later (why) or what.
I've said it before, but I'll say it again: we need our own talk show!
Watched the Hannity and Colmes Swift Boat hour. I'm truly amazed that most are missiing an important (IMO) point:
According to the spin, those who are supporting him served with him while those atttacking him did not. Not true. Those who served with him were 18, 19, and 20 year old kids on his boat who were in awe of anyone over the age of 24 with rank and authority, regardless of competence.
The Swift Boat vets who oppose Kerry were either peers (similarly ranked) who had to work with him on a daily basis and didn't like having to cover their asses because of his reckless incompetence, or senior officers who gave him less than stellar evaluations.
Senior officers in any service do not suffer fools, and I'm sure Kerry was branded the moment he reported for duty when he said, "Ensign Kerry reporting for duty, Sir. By the way do you know I went to Yale."
He was a horse's ass then, and he's since proved it.
