There are many similarities between the fictional Manchurian Candidate, Sergeant Raymond Shaw, who returns to America after the Korean War with a Medal of Honor, and John F Kerry.

Kerry and Edwards, a discussion segment with Bush-Cheney chief strategist Matthew Dowd and Newt Gingrich, and then a panel discussion with Fred, Mort, Mara and Bill Kristol filling in for Juan Williams.
