#1 This guy is starting to remind me of those stories of Japanese pilots that crashed on deserted islands and thought the war was still going on forty years later. Let it go already, Senator Shellshock!

#2 Did the Mississippi River Gulf Outlet smell like nuoc mam? Could you smell burning shit in the distance? Was there a naked 4-year-old with his finger shoved up his nose on the shoreline staring at you as you cruised by?

Yeah, buddy. Every time I go to Mississippi, it's just like being in Vietnam. Every time I go to Alabama, too. Or Georgia. Or Wyoming. Took the Little Woman to Niagra Falls a few years back. Saw all that water, first words out of my mouth were, "Sure does remind me of the time I spent in Vietnam. Can you smell the nuoc mam? Can you smell the burning poop? And lookit dat kid over there, Honey, scratching the inside of his head..."

Kerry seems to lug Vietnam around with him about the same way Jesse Jackson lugs around Selma, Alabama.

#6 Did he get any civilian kills this time? Take any ears? Rape or kill any civilians? (according to his congressional testamony that is how he remembers Vietnam....).

Kerry reminds me (again) of the middle aged man who still brags and tells everyone about when he caught the winning football pass back in shithole high school. Give it a farking rest already!

#7 Ya man. Did I tell you lately I served in Nam? I came home and buddy fucked all my fellow Vets in front of a commission. The media loved me. Why don't all you Vets love me now?

#8 Wow, only April and Kerry has already descended to the level of self-parody.

#9 He must have been confused by the Vietnamese shrimp fishers out there......and the humidity.

#10 When the "Fishing Magician" reached shore Kerry leaped off the boat, chased down and shot a local Cajun shrimper. "That reminds me of how I won the Silver Star" said the Massachusetts senator.

#11 I swear, everytime I turn around this numb-nuts is having flashbacks to 'Nam.

I think he has PTSD.

#15 Hmmm... any other "Duckman" fans around? Anyone else remember the episode when Duckman was having Vietnam flashbacks? Remember how they turned out to be flashbacks to movies about Vietnam?

Remember the story about Kerry watching over and over the filmed re-enactment of his return to the Phillipines his shooting a wounded man the action that earned him his Silver Star?

Anyone want to bet he can't distinguish his memory of the film from his memory of the actual event?

#17 I hope y'all (and he) realizes that we have a lot of Vietnamese refugees here; in fact, a lot more than he said were going to be caused by the American surrender....

#18 Y'know, I've been to the mouth of the Mekong, and I've been to the mouth of the Mississippi, and they don't look ANYTHING alike to me. I wonder if John-boy might not have more than a couple of screws loose.

#19 Mike - you've gotta forgive Kerry, after all, it was 4 months spent, almost 40 years ago....

#20 I watched Bush closely in the footage after his carrier landing. You could see from his body language and enthusiasm when he was talking to the other pilots that he is a pilot also. He wasn't posing for the camera either. I don't know what it is about pilots, but it cannot be faked.
