And who is he, really?
A close associate hints: There's a secret compartment in Kerry's briefcase. He carries the black attaché everywhere. Asked about it on several occasions, Kerry brushed it aside. Finally, trapped in an interview, he exhaled and clicked open his case.
"Who told you?" he demanded as he reached inside. "My friends don't know about this."
The hat was a little mildewy. The green camouflage was fading, the seams fraying.
"My good luck hat," Kerry said, happy to see it. "Given to me by a CIA guy as we went in for a special mission in Cambodia."
Kerry put on the hat, pulling the brim over his forehead. His blue button-down shirt and tie clashed with the camouflage. He pointed his finger and raised his thumb, creating an imaginary gun. He looked silly, yet suddenly his campaign message was clear: Citizen-soldier. Linking patriotism to public service. It wasn't complex after all; it was Kerry.
He smiled and aimed his finger: "Pow."

Come on, help me think of some more words to describe this guy besides creepy, weird, scary, or insane.
This guy CANNOT be elected POTUS.

Those who spend too much time living in the past are unaware of the present.
Maybe John Kerry should see a doctor.

To: Howlin
'Coprolitic' seems applicable. Perhaps 'Gork-like', or 'Gork-alike'. 'Alexei Romanov' would be a good historical appellation, except al-Qerry doesn't have hemophilia. 'Dorky' has gained some currency,
How about ''ol' Red Sox'', because he's not well-liked anywhere outside of Mass., and can't win the big one?

Here's John Kerry doing a dubbie before heading into Cambodia to sing Christmas Carrols and drink palm wine.
Pretty funny looking socks!

(2) is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
(3) believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)

(5) has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

I believe that Kerry is a true narcissist. Good diagnosis.
To: dennisw
The
7 part boston globe series on hanoi john says differently. More like he STRAYED into Cambodia in the beat of a skirmish.
To top it off, Kerry said, he had gone several miles inside Cambodia, which theoretically was off limits, prompting Kerry to send a sarcastic message to his superiors that he was writing from the Navy's "most inland" unit.

Works for me, mate. About one notch away from ''megalomaniacal'', too. Certainly he has the component of that diagnosis usually referred to as ''delusions of adequacy'', oops, I mean ''grandeur''.

"It wasn't complex after all; it was Kerry."
Nope, sorry to disagree, but that writer confused kerry with Bull Sh*t. One the other hand, it is an easy error to make, given the essential similarities.
