"Surely he remembered the dishonorable and untrue things he said about Vietnam."
Tyrrell is a columnist; Kerry, a fifth-columnist.

Is it not curious that in major media there is not a trace of humor or even irony perceptible in the hullabaloo over Senator John Kerry's latest self-inflicted wound, to wit: the controversy over his Vietnam record? Oh, one fellow has shown a proper sense of the absurdity of it all. James Taranto, editor of the Wall Street Journal's "Best of the Web Today," has for months made a running joke of Kerry's reckless boasts about his service in Vietnam. Whenever he introduces this insufferable braggart into his column Taranto is wont to write "who by the way served in Vietnam" or "whom I am told served in Vietnam." Now, as a growing number of Vietnam veterans file their objections to Kerry's boasts, the suave Taranto e-mails me, "Have you been following the news the past couple of weeks? And are you finally ready to admit I was right about John Kerry serving in Vietnam?"
As the waggish Taranto knows, I have never doubted that Kerry served in Vietnam, for I remember with the utmost clarity his return from Vietnam whereupon he played a star role in opposing the war, often disloyally. I even recall his appearance before a Senate committee where he accused his fellow veterans of "war crimes" — or, as he said then: "Crimes committed on a day-to-day basis with the full awareness of officers at all levels of command." He even said on Meet the Press that he had committed war crimes. I rather doubt that he did, but here is still more evidence that Kerry is a fraud.
He is another of the politicians visited on us recently who lie flagrantly, get caught in their lies, and are given a dispensation in the media because the media's journalists somehow believe that… .

Tyrrell writes a great line...the democrats have nominated another fantastist...great stuff...this puts it in perspective for me...almost as good as his "boy Clinton" tag.
The problem is, the media can't judge Kerry on his lack of judgement since they have none themselves. They don't know how to measure character either, for the same reason.
Tyrrell = sublime! The "boy president" line was not only good, but great. Sometimes, I just have to read his stuff twice just to get the marrow out of the bone.
But then runs.
Wants the President to stop it.
Oh please mommy, make them stop.
Hes a loser, kinda reminds me of a song.
Actually, I posted before I had read the second half of the article. It got better, and is in fact, profound. Thanks for posting this.
Kerry, your Karma is here: "What goes around, comes around"
Traitor Kerry ping.
"Surely he remembered the dishonorable and untrue things he said about Vietnam."
Tyrrell is a columnist; Kerry, a fifth-columnist.
That is why the lunatic libs love moi Kerri.
He stabbed about 2.5 million Viet Nam Vets in the back. That became the corner stone of the current libs in power today, their hatred of America and our military.
"I have never doubted that Kerry served in Vietnam, for I remember with the utmost clarity his return from Vietnam whereupon he played a star role in opposing the war, often disloyally."
And that is why the libs will scratch and claw, spewing blood and slime across the landscape. Because, after the truth is known about Viet Nam, what will the left have left?
If Kerry gets Mondaled on election day and his back stabbing our Vets is a major reason/issue. The left wing politicians, mediots and Follywooders will have been given a mortal blow.
When this happens, the left will only have the abortion agenda, the gay agenda and enviral whacko agendas as their cornerstones. All three of those agendas are in trouble like their anti Viet Nam/America Warriors and America agenda/core is in trouble.
This is why they will do anything to defeat GW.
To help them implode and explode, we can donate to the Swift Vets to enable them to buy more ads to spread the truth.

Done done it. And I've never felt better about a contribution in my life.
Good men. On a vital mission. For the truth.
I define "slime" as what Kerry did to POW/MIA and their families when he accused them of being "war criminals" and "smear" as that spot in his shorts left when he first began their blistering ad campaign.
Who is yelling "bring it on" to the Swifty Vets now?

You nailed it.
