Well, JFK is facing some quasi-serious opposition in his Senatorial Race in 2008, so I reckon we'll just have to live through this whole "Swift-Boat" nonsense all over again. JF'nK wrote himself up, so he has to stick with it.

Unlike the original JFK who had the good sense to realize that his heroics were also more or less a Hollywood PR Man's fantasy, bought and paid for by dear old dad, JF'nK, being poor at the time, did his military fiction without too much professional help.

Apparently, in the faux-hero racket, you get what you pay for. Besides Dad paying for the best story tellers around, the original JFK had a sense of humor about the whole thing, which JF'nK definitely does not!

As far as I'm concerned Effing Kerry served honorably in Vietnam. None of this would have been relevant if he hadn't tried to make his claim to be a war hero the cornerstone of his campaign.

The man really isn't very smart.
