I would like to say I know more about this writer but I don't but I did like his last sentence.
Michael Barone is good. He shows up on Fox occasionally. He is a pretty sensible guy.
"Christmas In Cambodia" almost makes me wonder if Kerry isn't from Texas.
Only my friends from Texas can fabricate a really ripping-good yarn like that!
as people sometimes do.
Well, somehow I can't imagine that something this big and this important could be an event he just convinced himself was true, even though it wasn't. Something like the color slacks you wore to an event, maybe. Or whether you took one highway rather than a different one on vacation. But this? Verrrrry unbelievable.
Round about way of saying Kerry lied about his experience for political gain. Which naturally raises the issue of what else are lies ?
This is more fundamental than character. This is about someone who can't tell fantasy from reality.
Kerry didn't lie the way Clinton lied. Clinton always knew what the truth was. Kerry lied so many times, with so much colorful embroidery, that it appears he doen't know what reality is.
The next thing that needs to be dropped?...
Kerry.
LVM
CIA guys give hats in gratitude? Whatever happened to stogies and hooch?
That is it. Now public people are actually starting to link sKerry's to the 'Toons foibles, and net even the Demodogs want a repeat of that experience. Watch out for the falling elevator carrying the Demodogs now...
Thank you for the brief bio. I had looked on the webpage and found nothing. I thought he seemed reasonable in this article.

Donate to Swift Boat Vets for the Truth HERE.
Meehan probably watches too many James Bond movies.
Secret missions still have written orders. They are documented. Probably with a stamp at the top and bottom that says 'Secret'. I'm sure that the Navy still has the records, even if they are classified.
I'm also sure that the Navy never sent a 50 foot long U.S. patrol craft down a narrow river to sneak into Cambodia with SEALs, CIA, or illegal arms shipments in tow. That would be like driving on the highway from Iraq to Syria in a Humvee, and thinking no one would notice when you crossed the border.
I agree with your post. He has said so many times, it is seared as truth.
Barone is a respected news person, but he is also a very liberal Democrat so this business, perhaps KErry was there, or maybe the story was not remembered right is full of cr--!! Character does count..and the man we have in the White House has character and has been a leader with determination and strength. He has told us many times his first duty is to the people and the security of the United States is number one on the list. That gets my attention.
So cool to see this story getting legs.
LOL, Barry Segal got kilos of coke and all Kerry got was a hat? I bet the slickster is laughing his ass off at this one.
Oh yeah...there is an agenda here...the author pretends to be a moderate voice...one who judges fairly and gives both sides credit due...
And plays the 'moral equivalence game'....Both sides...he says are honorable men...entitled to their "opinions"...and so both sides "stories" should be given "equal weight"
Therefore Kerry's "Lies" are just "honest" mistakes...and the Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth are also making 'honest mistakes"
You say POE TAY TO ..I say PO TAh To...lets call whole thing off.....
Just another "Kerrytale"....that says there is just as much evidence to support Kerry as the Swifties so none of this should be taken for or against Kerry or the Swifties..
The author declares a tie
Ain't gonna work though...because a preponderance of the evidence says Kerry is lying through his teeth...and the SBVT aren't gonna let him up until he admits....HE LIED and is a LIAR about his entire short Naval Career and his post Vietnam Anti War War Hero rhetoric and his trips to solicit deals with the North Vietnamese Communists...
IMO
I suspect "seared, SEARED" is the "Sore Loserman" of 2004. I'm already making my Christmas card list. This year's theme is definitely Cambodia.
