The Boston Globe may think that Kerry is a bigger war hero but I think most Americans, whatever their party, know the one armed Senator from Kansas is a pretty decent guy.

He said that Kerry had himself in a pickle and he should apologize to the more than 2 million veterans for the things he said years ago, becasue after all Kerry was not the only guy to go to Nam. Somebody better tell the Boston Globe that.

Dole also mentioned the bloodless Purple Hearts. I know there are not a lot of the old boys left but wounds like Kerry got would not have merited much if any attention in that war. And think about the soldiers in Iraq who have gotten shrapnel from road sides bombs and haven’t even taken the day off.

I think it will hurt Kerry because Dole is not seen as self serving.
