"He also said it was fair to look at Kerry's record!"
I interpreted it slightly differently. I thought he meant this is a positive way. As in: Yes, it is fair for Kerry to tout his record. Kerry should be very proud of it.
I thought it was extremely graceful and reminded me exactly why I like this man.
Not when you look at the entire segment and the first question he was asked and his answer. He refused to say those vets don't have a right to raise their concerns and the way I heard it he basically said they have that right. But he then drew the line that HE would not do that.
