[Watery Tart]

From the article:

Aides to Kerry said he did not want to respond immediately to the swift boat group's television advertisement because he was in the middle of a cross-country campaign tour that featured a positive, introductory message emphasizing his biography.

That trip ended last Saturday, followed by four days of vacation in Idaho; he returned to the campaign trail Wednesday for a speech to the VFW, where he did not want the controversy over his Vietnam record to detract from his new attack on Bush's plan for redeploying 70,000 troops from Asia and Europe, aides said.

To quote a wise man: "Boy, is this great!"

Read the article. He was scared shi'ite-less by the bad press and had to run to MommaT and hide out. Yeah, THIS is a good indicator of how he'd act as CinC during the next attack.

The electorate is only going to get to know him better in the coming months. *giggle*

Isn't it fun to parse this gibberish. Not everyone who reads their pap is a Jerry Springer fan.

"...his new attack on Bush's plan for redeploying 70,000 troops from Asia and Europe, aides said."

It has been reported from unattributed Kerry campaign sources
that the reason Kerry was over 30 minutes late for his VFW Convention speech was that his aides showed him the NATO support for W's redeployment plan. Even knowing that, Kerry chose to continue w/his criticisms.

F'n also hasn't a clue that the majority of regular military and their families will now have prolonged basing here in CONUS, which is going to make military family life a lot more stable.

F'n is a moron.
