Fox News just had a news segment where the Kerry campaign, in angry response to Bush claims that Kerry attended few Intelligence briefings, said that Kerry had at one time been the Vice-Chairman of the Intelligence campaign.
In response, the Bush people gleefully (Fox's word) returned fire by saying that it was BOB Kerrey, not JOHN Kerry who was Vice-Chairman of the Intelligence committee.
Does this mean it was Bob Kerrey who took Navy Seals into Cambodia on secret missions? I'm confused. ;-)
SCROLL DOWN:
Kerry & Miller Have Supported the Exact Same Intelligence Funding in the Senate -- Since joining the Senate in 2000, Zell Miller and John Kerry have supported the exact same funding levels for America's Intelligence agencies. John Kerry served on the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence for 6 years and is the former Vice Chairman of the Committee. Kerry joined the Committee in early 1993 and served until early 2001. Zell Miller has not served on the Intelligence Committee, Armed Services Committee or the Foreign Relations Committee in his four years in the Senate.
~snip~
BC04 should make a campaign ad with that as the theme.
We have to start cataloging and recording all the different times and places Kerry's campaign has made this claim. They will soon disappear. They will try to spin it is a minor slip of the tongue error by one individual. We have to be able to establish that this was a long standing and oft repeated false claim.
This will be similar to the Cambodia thing where their first effort was to imply that it was a minor one time exaggeration as opposed to a long standing oft repeated (50 times) lie.
What we need is a voice of reason in this debate:

Feminist Criticizes Kerry's 'Butch' Image
By Robert B. Bluey

Boston (CNSNews.com) - Feminist author Barbara Ehrenreich was jeered at Tuesday's liberal "Take Back America" rally when she suggested that Democrat nominees John Kerry and John Edwards had become too "butch" for their own good.
"I feel so exasperated that they can't figure out anything except to try to act butcher than [George W. Bush] when it comes to our international crises," Ehrenreich said. "It looks like the Democrats are too frightened to be labeled 'girlie men' by the party of Schwarzenegger to do what has to be done to protect us in this country."
Ehrenreich was referring to Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's recent comments about Democrat lawmakers in California.
The criticism of Kerry and his vice presidential running mate, Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, was an unusual departure from the generally pro-Democrat focus of the rally. Many speakers used the occasion to bash President Bush.
Ehrenreich, author of Nickle and Dimed: Surviving in Low-Wage America and a columnist for left-wing magazines, said Democrats have their priorities wrong when it comes to fighting terrorism, or as she prefers to say, Islamic extremists.
If she had her way, Ehrenreich said, feminism would be used to combat enemies of the United States. She said Kerry should adopt her philosophy.
"Feminism is one of our nation's proudest exports. We invented it, practically," she said. "You cannot fight the Islamist insurgency with a combination of imperialism and MTV. The only thing Bush has done is serve as [public relations] and recruitment for al Qaeda."
As for the Democratic National Convention, Ehrenreich said it was unfortunate that each day was labeled with "butch" themes. She noted that in 1992, Democrats made women the focus of their convention, something she said was missing this year.
Sure looks that way .. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
My middle schooler just asked for a book of all of Kerry's mishaps (lies) for Christmas. Come on, tell me I don't raise 'em right!
The Jobs Bill WAS held up by one Senator. That Senator wanted some perks. Finally, after getting what he wanted, he cast his vote and the Jobs Bill passed.
Except---it wasn't John Kerry who held up the Bill and cast the deciding vote. It was Bob KerrEy.
Thanks for posting that...I remember reading about that on FR, too! Insanity!
I think that is a fair supposition.
"how can we be sure he knows sh*t from Shinola?"

OMG! I heard Baghdad Bob will be taking lessons from Kerry as he has so much to offer.

The DNC had the hip-hop group Black Eyed Peas perform at the FleetCenter. The song of choice? "Let's Get It Started."
So what, you say? Here's what -- "Let's Get It Started" is a re-worded remix of a song originally titled..."Let's Get Retarded!"
I'm not sure. I've heard speculation that it's a Justice Department program to create jobs for people in the Witness Protection Program. All I can figure, is John McEnroe must have ratted out some trash haulers in Queens.
JF'nK saved his crew in Vietnam by leading them to safety in Cambodia after their swift-boat was run over by a Japanese destroyer.
Keep reading. I found a press release from March straight from the Kerry campaign and saying that John Kerry had served as vice chairman of the intelligence committe.
They also said in March that he served on the committee for "six" years. You'll note the 8/13 declaration states "eight".
My March reference is posted at #182.
LOL. These people are so stupid it makes my head hurt.
