He quoted Kerry on the campaign trail a year ago telling a reporter about his top secret mission to Cambodia or something. I was in the car with kids so did not hear every word.
Rush ended the 2-minute segment in that mysterious way he has by saying softly, (paraphrasing) "So either Kerry anticipated getting caught in the lie and tried to pre-empt it, or else he really was in Cambodia."
Anyone know what Rush was reading from???????
Something similar in this from NRO's Byron York .
From the wash post (that conservative bastion!):

Hasn't made it into the network news yet. Not even Fox.
It was something about a briefcase with a secret compartment. I did read an article about it this morning
-- Snip --
It's been a hard rap to overcome in part because Kerry is reserved. He inherited it from his mother, along with her devotion to public service. "She taught us you stiff-upper-lip it," said his sister, Diana Kerry. "John is a man of the people. Of the little people, actually. He needs to project who he really is by simplifying."
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."
