#1 Dole actually earned his purple heart andf has a heck of alot more class than Kerry will ever have.

#2 The pro-Kerry media love referring to his "five medals" or "five decorations" without mentioning that three of those were purple hearts obtained by his own request after minor superficial wounds. That sort of spin is a gift to the opposition because when the truth is exposed it does so much to discredit the man in the public opinion that the two other decorations are almost irrelevant by association. This leaves the man's heroic credibility is in tatters, whilst Bush - who's always been modest as regards his own service, gains in stature by default.

Colonel Blimp - going down in flames.

#3 Bulldog on to something here with all the PHs coming at the request of Kerry and not through the normal way (from his Commander). I know it was 'not against regulations' but funny that none of the Purple Nerples were requested by someone other than the recepient. Bob Dole should know something about this because he was serverly wounded in WWII and got A Purple Heart. The Kerry Kamp will think long and hard before they start to diparage Senator Dole.

#4 Cyber Sarge, I've already seen the usual suspects at places like polipundit disparaging Senator Dole; hop on over if you've got a strong stomach.

#5 This just in: John Kerry has won the annual Islamic Pseudo-man Look Alike Contest!

Way to go, Senator! You are also the newest poster child for the International Weenie Man Parade! (featuring other ~~totalitarians~~ ~~terrorists~~ contenders from around the globe!) The festivities start in Boston. John's wife, Teresa, will be supervising the serving of (beef) hotdogs with ketcup, tail-gate style, from their several SUV's. Other booths will be featuring the traditional foods served in the training camps of Afghanistan and Sudan. A 30,000 Purple Heart Balloon release (10,000 purple heart-shaped baloons--one for each of the three purple hearts Kerry ~~was able to weasel out of the military~~ received, and mock celebratory Islamic-type machine-gun fire will kick off the event. ) BE THERE!!!

Reminder: so as not to be offensive to Senator Kerry and others in attendance who support his political priorities, no American flags will be allowed at this event. Protestors carrying posters, shouting slogans, handing out pamphlets or singing chants, will be promptly arrested for disorderly conduct, harrassment, and criminal mischief. The wearing of brown shirts by all attendees is encouraged. Thank you for your cooperation.

#6 I tossed my "undecided until I got in the voting booth" presidential vote his way mostly because I felt he was a stand up guy in life.
He also accepted his defeat with grace (Al Gore, take note).
I am glad you spoke up yesterday, Bob.

#7 I just love getting up in the morning and finding articles like this. It makes my day. I am glad that SOMEONE is speaking on behalf of the Swift Boat Vets besides themselves. Thank you Mr Dole for saying aloud what every one has been thinking..

#8 Dole talking to Hannity RIGHT NOW!

Kerry called Dole. Sounds as though Dole stands up to him, and Kerry squirms. . .

Kerry says that he is "disappointed" in Dole. That's a laugh.

#9 Dole asks Kerry to apologize for 1971. Kerry changes the subject. . .

#10 Kerry called "on air" to Dole while on Hannity & Colmes?

Shit, if so, I'm rearranging my sched today - it won't be on out here for another 3 hrs.

#11 No - Dole was called by Kerry this AM, and reported the call to Hannity on Hannity's Radio show.

#12 Oh - okay... That's a man whose word I'll trust - and maybe the only politician I feel comfortable saying that about, heh.

Thx for the heads-up, Big Ed!

#13 I'm disappointed with Dole somewhat: He should have told Kerry to resign his senate seat, just like HE did.
