#3 Kerry and Brant slept in the same quarters, and Brant used to put Kerry back to bed at night when Kerry was sleepwalking.

Where's my teddy-bear?

#5 Money quote: "When we dedicated swift boat one in â92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasnât talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans."
All the rest of the veterans?!! What an idiot!! This guy just can't shut up. And now they are copping to the 1st purple heart? Sounds like someone got the files. Folks the wheels are comin' off. Sheesh, between this and Mashed Tater convention in Najaf...looks like a good day for popcorn.

#6 KERRY: "When we dedicated swift boat one in â92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasnât talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans."

I am almost speechless. He must have been referring to the hatless CIA head hunters he was inserting into Cambodia.

#8 Forget the popcorn--it may be time to crack open a bottle of champagne (domestic, of course!).
This is just delicious!

#9 I'm waiting for the flip-flop retraction!

I was shot before I wrote that I'd never been shot at!

#10 Even if Kerry did in fact apologize, it doesn't get him off the hook. This is a lifelong socialist who used an armed enemy to destroy military morale.

Kerry can submit his full unredacted military record, and then he can promise to reverse all the senate votes he ever made against the military and the CIA, but promising WIN OR LOSE he will sponsor legislation that will reverse every initiative that ever cost the military lives, or raised taxes.

He should signal his willingness to abide by these terms by staging a nationally televised event in which he will admit he is a liar, a socialist and he will give his heart to Jesus, become born again and to live his life to make things right again.

But an apology won't do it for me, personally.

#11 especially since it won't be a sincere apology. Everything this nitwit does is calculated to advance....himself

#12 badnov...lol!

I'm sure he would, if he thought it would give him a win come Nov.

#13 Perhaps Kerry can apologise to all the servicemen who died because his (and Hanoi Jane's) activities inspired the North Vietmanese to continue their fight?

As well as all the South Vietmanese (and Cambodian) people who were 're-educated' and/or murdered or had to leave their homeland after the communists took over?

I would want him to reveal who he was involved in and to find out if any foreign money was involved. This thing has been dirtying our politics for far too long.

This enquiring mind wants to know the activities of the anti-war movment right down to the last decimal point, down to the last dime, where the money came from...

And I want it by Thursday.

#15 You got it, badanov!
I hear there's a whole group of Vietnamese, who live here and who became American citizens because they couldn't live in the horror that Vietnam became after the Kerry/Fonda peace, who are opposed to Kerry, in addition to the Swifties.

We know that POWs in the Hanoi Hilton were tortured more when Kerry "testilied" to Congress in '71--wonder if any of our men died under the beatings and torture because of what Kerry said?
If they did, he is most certainly toast although he's pretty toasted now and things like this phone call show how badly his campaign is hemorrhaging.

#16 This reminds me of when Kerry called Admiral what's-his-name when he got wind of the Swifties' book. He promised he'd tone down the portrayal of the admiral as a bumbling warmonger in future editions of "Tour of Duty," if only the admiral wouldn't stand with the Swifties.

Of course the Admiral said no.

Johnny Boy, time to get a brush-up course at charm school.

#17 You mean Hoffman?

All I know is, it looks today as if Bush and Kerry are in a weird-off, trying to see who can get me more confused, and I'm starting to get motion-sickness.

#18 Do you think sKerry was having nightmares about the Korean rangers back in '71? Those guys were definitely hard-core. I've seen the ears on their pistol belts in photos my father took.

I mean, he can't tell Cambodia from Vietnam...maybe he can't tell Koreans from Americans. Just a small white lie, really. /sarcasm

#19 God, John, will you STFU?

No, hold it, on second thought don't STFU! Keep right on going!

#20 The Kerry Spot reported earlier today that Kerry never said what he purports to Brant he said at the dedication...There's nothing in the speech, at least, in the vein of Kerry's reported comment to Robert "Friar Tuck" More over at Crushkerry.com.

#21 Kerry must have heard the new ad. Wonder if he cringes like I do when he hears himself pronounce Ghengis Khan.
