Come on, man! This thing is just getting warmed up! Don’t worry about the polls. That’s so August 9th.

I don’t think all 200 Swiftees would be in a position to challenge each medal. But each purple heart is being challenged (two were self-inflicted, the third allegedly undeserved), as are the Bronze Star (Rassman incident). The book by no means restricts its accusations to the Anti-war Kerry.

My wife tells me that the latest CNN trust questions has more people trusting Kerry then Bush. The Democratic controlled MSM still calls the shots. They have successfully created an image of a President lying about yellowcake, WMD and the threat from Saddam. It doesn’t matter how many Presidential, Parliamentary or Congressional commissions report out the opposite story line the public at large will not change their mind when confronted with contradictory information.

Time to move on. The story is already dying. The Kerry legend will win out. Kerry is going to win the election and lots of MSM indoctrinated Americans are going die.

The 250 Swift Boat veterans aren’t all challenging his Medals, are they? I know a few are, but for the most part the Swift Boat veterans don’t think Kerry’s fit for command because of the statements he made upon returning home from Viet Nam. Which I understand. But it’s not 250 Swift Boat Veterans against Kerry and Rassman’s account of that one particular story. As far as saving the life of Rassman, again, I’ll take the word of the guys on his boat. Rassman didn’t serve under Kerry–I don’t get Rassman’s motive–15 minutes of fame? I don’t know…anything’s possible, and I know you disagree, but I still have my doubts.

The Cambodia story is a completely different matter. It will be interesting to hear Kerry’s response.

I’ll toss this out for any MSM readers out there…

You know longer need to keep the race tight to keep eyeballs on your screens. Now you can switch to keeping eyeballs on your screens by letting the people watch a really bad candidate implode and then claim to be doing the nation a service. Suck it up guys!

Well that should work, but I vote for getting a Screenwriter involved with a reprise of Arnold and Jamie Lee in a remake of the comedy thriller True Lies

JOHN KERRY

Let’s face it, Harry, the Vette

gets ‘em wet. But it’s not

enough. If you want to really

close escrow, you gotta have an

angle.

HARRY

And you’ve got one.

JOHN KERRY

It’s killer. Look at me– I’m

not that much to look at. No

really. I can be honest. But I

got ‘em lining up, and not just

skanks, either.

HARRY

So what’s your angle?

JOHN KERRY

Sorry. Trade secret.

HARRY

(grinning)

Sure. Set me up and then don’t

tell me.

JOHN KERRY leans forward, conspiratorially.

JOHN KERRY

Okay, just ask yourself. What do

Democrat women voters really want? You take

these bored housewives, married

to the same guy for years. Stuck

in a rut. They need some

release. The promise of

adventure. A hint of danger. I

create that for them. CIA? Cambodia?

HARRY

So you’re basically lying your

ass off the whole time? I

couldn’t do it.

JOHN KERRY

Well, think of it as playing a

role. It’s fantasy. You have to

work on their dreams. Get them

out of their daily suburban grind

for a few hours.

HARRY

Isn’t that hard to keep up, in

the long run?

JOHN KERRY

Doesn’t matter. I like change.

You know, constant turnover. As

soon as I close the deal, it’s

one or two more times, then

adios.

HARRY

Use ‘em and lose ‘em.

JOHN KERRY

Exactly. The trick is, you gotta

pick your target. They have to

be nice little housewife types.

School-teachers. But, I’m

telling you, you get their pilot

lit, these babes, they can suck-

start a leaf-blower.

Mon nom est Jean Kerry et j’approve c’est message.

If you want to know how the MSM is going to cover this just read doublecola and the Rassmussen editorial and you have the script.

This is an outrage- The army gave Kerry the medals, it is an outrage to question this brave soldiers integrity! The fact that it is fellow brave decorated soldiers who are making this charge makes no difference. The fact that they have written a detailed book about it makes no difference either. They are Republican operatives. The fact that they are not is beside the point. If they are, or have been, or have ever voted Republican or associated with any republican organazation this elevates them to Dirty Trick operatives.

Screw the details, examine the motivations- They won’t cover the details of the book, they will focus on the motivations of the swifties. They will hint at financial windfall, they will talk about bitterness, jealousy, anything but the specifics of the story.They were not on his boat. The fact that these boats operated in teams, that these people lived with Kerry and knew him quite well is beside the point. THEY WERE NOT ON THE BOAT. Well, except one but he doesn’t count.

John O’Neil is a child of Nixon- the fact that Nixon chose O’Neil to debate Kerry on the Cavett show is conclusive proof that O”Neil is a stalker and a dirty trickster. Nixon -O’Neil, thats all you need to know.

The eventual SBV scandall. There are over 200 SBV’s in this group. The odds that there is a messy divorce, a drug or Alchohol problem, or some messy personel story among them is great. Right know the veterans of the DNC Bimbo Eruption team are scowering the internet and court records for dirt. The moment they find anything on one of them it will make the front page of the NY or LA Times. They will use this to smear the entire group.

They will cover it but it will be a process story. They will not pay attention to the accusations in the Book. These guys are used to operating under fire of bullets but they are going to find it difficult to handle the bombshells of the Press and their group leader on this story Lanny Davis.

It will be interesting how they handle the fact that Kerry will not release ALL of his records. But they will find some angle on why Kerry won’t do it. they will probably land with a “Well Kerry should release his full war records but not under these circumstances.” They will swallow whatever weasel language the Kerry team coughs up because that is the way the MSM works.

I posted the article as proof that JFK was still telling the Cambodia story last summer on the campaign trail. You have the campaign (as of 5 minutes ago at least) acknowledging JFK in Cambodia during his 4 months of service in Viet Nam.

As for credit? In some of the flurry of blogs yesterday, I saw a passing reference to the article somewhere and tried to find it in WaPo’s archives. I found other articles by the same author but not the June 6, 2003 — I wrote it off to my poor searching skills or equally likely WaPo’s unreliable search engine — so I went to Nexis. Now I read on Powerline that WaPo may have removed the link to the article. Hmmmm.
