#1 citing a policy not to respond to the DRUDGE REPORT.

#2 I don't want to pre-judge this 1971 video, but it seems to me that Kerry's getting awfully close to some sort of tipping point with this stuff. Much more of it, and the American public is going to adopt a "conventional wisdom" that John Kerry is a habitual bullshitter. And if that happens, he's a goner.

The same thing can happen in the press. Sure, many in the mainstream media are rooting for Kerry; but once they start smelling blood, and start seeing him as a rich source of juicy bloopers that'll make good headlines, they're likely to turn on him like a pack of sharks.

"Kerry’s campaign refused comment Sunday afternoon, citing a policy not to respond to the DRUDGE REPORT."

Waitaminnit... I thought it was the Bush campaign that was supposed to be out of touch with the Internet Generation. Bad move, Kerry.

#3 Cheesh, you guys can't wait to villify a proven hero who served in Viet Nam. Kerry's website is very clear:

"John Kerry threw his ribbons and the medals of two veterans who could not attend the event, and said “I am not doing this for any violent reasons, but for peace and justice, and to try to make this country wake up once and for all.” (italics in original)

Don't you (like that chickenhawk thimble brain Drudge) understand the difference between medals and ribbons? That's a distinction they drill into every anti-war progtester.

And besides that, he had given the medals to his mother for Mother's Day and so they weren't his medals, they were his family's!

This is an example of why people who want the true story read only the New York Times.

#4 you have to close comments like that with /sarcasm, ot it screws up everyone else's comments that follow, Mr.D. Notice how often my comments seem cynical and sarcastic, through no fault of my own? That's why....

sure

#5 Mr. Davis, sarcasm or no, who really cares whose medals or ribbons he threw?
The fact still remains that Kerry showed nothing but disdain and contempt for American medals for bravery in battle and military service to our country and yet he says he wants to be Commander-in-Chief.
And I don't care for the use of the term "chickenhawk" applying to anyone, either.

As for Drudge, he ain't so dumb...I imagine Lurch is still pissed about the "intern affair" story of a few months ago.
I still don't think we've heard the last of that.

#8 seems to me that the usual suspects, who can always can be counted on to closely tow the party line, have decided it's time to stab Kerry in the back and dump his body next to Deans. Et tu Keri

#9 The dominant LEFTmedia has been oddly referring to Komrade Kerry as the PRESUMPTIVE NOMINEE of late. Perhaps having determined sKerry cannot beat President Bush they will turn on the ridiculous myn as they did Dean in time for a THIRD candidate to be annointed at the Dim convention. Like others, I'll have to see with my own eyes the ABC wing of the ABCCBSNBCPBSBBCalJAZEERA network spin a story in a way that would HURT sKerry to BELIEVE the LEFTmedia is turning against their latest CHOSEN ONE.

#10 They will not put the knife in until after the nomination. That way Hillary can "ride to the rescue" after Kerry brings the party to disaster.

#11 Probably we should wait until Good Morning America shows the footage.
