[John Thornton]

I agree with you. Hubbard is a story---but Kerry has claimed that he didn't know the guy was a fraud. And no one has any proof that Kerry did know Hubbard was a fraud. It gets down to a he said, he said battle that is not a winner politically.

"Hubbard is a story---but Kerry has claimed that he didn't know the guy was a fraud"

Since Kerry tries to say that Bush misled us on WMD's, I guess then it's safe to say that Kerry misled us on Hubbard's credentials.

And no one has any proof that Kerry did know Hubbard was a fraud.

We only have common sense....

We would expect that Kerry and Hubbard exchanged war stories about their service in Vietnman.

My guess is that the "Expert on Vietnam," Kerry, must have sensed Hubbard was lying.

If Kerry didn't sense Hubbard was a quack-serviceman, then Kerry is dumber than we think, and way too dumb to be President.

Imagine "dumber-than-dumb" Kerry's interviews with his cabinet choices.

Kerry:

"There's no need to present your diplomas or job references...I'll take your word that you've worked 3 years as an expert on US relations with Iraq."
