#2 Kerry won't be able to come through. His record is ... well, lacking and embarrassing.

#3 Okay. He's been called on it. And he's really noy used to that.

#4 I will bet anyone right now that we will either hear that Sen Kerry was either mis-quoted or "Doesn't feel like being drawn into some puclic debate taht will detract from the HUGE challenges facing our country tody." My favorite charity is ME but I will defer all winning to the tip jar for Rantburg.

#6 I expect to see the whole episode quietly and rapidly fade from the news.

If he holds true to form, in a couple years Lurch will refer to the episode as vindicating him. Reuters and/or AP will uncritically repeat the statement, which will attempt to become common knowledge.

#7 That may be true of John Boy, but I wouldn't be surprised if Pickens found some way(s) to keep the whole thing in the news. Publicly calling out a senator isn't something even T. Boone does every day. And having done it and watched the ~~douchebag~~ honorable gentleman from Mchusetts flinch, it's gotta be tough not to rub it in a little.

#8 NS makes a good point. T. Boone doesn't need the publicity or notoriety or pissing off a US Senator. He's willingly walked into this fight. I'd expect this to go however far Kerry is willing to take it- he'll undoubtedly proclaim "vindication" at several points whilst still dissembling and covering. Don't expect him to fully release his records and let the cards fall where they may, it's obvious he won't, for reasons we can all guess. I stand by my first assessment: lying narcissist euro-trash anti-american elitist "do you know who I am" Piece Of Shit. But I don't wanna soft peddle it....

#10 Unfortunately, the debate over whether Kerry earned his purple hearts or was in Cambodia or not is beside the main point. Namely, Kerry claimed that he had personal knowledge of war crimes committed by US military personnel in Viet Nam and went so far as to implicate himself. ("Reminiscent of the manner of Jengis Khan...") This douchebag needs to answer directly for his testimony before the congress - did he or did he not lie in his testimony about putative US war crimes? If he did not lie then he should name names and times and places of these events, including his own involvement. If he did lie - which I believe is more likely - he owes one huge apology to all of those who served in Viet Nam for his lies, assisting the enemy with propaganda and his continuing career based on slamming his own country for personal advancement.

That and the sonofabitch should be hanged regardless.

#11 The general speculation is that, back in 2004, Kerry was mortified that the public would discover his relatively low grades and low IQ (as tested by the Navy).
