Brit and Major do it again!1 They did a good piece on Kerry's silver star with "V" showing how it was wrong and how judicial watch has given the complaint to the sec. of the Navy, They brought up Adm. Boarda and Kerry's comments on him basically Major was saying what a hypocrite Kerry is

P.S. The Navy is investigating its official

Delicious.

Watching the steady disintegration of the Kerry campaign is terrific and, when the rest of the Swifty campaign hits, watch out.

There's even some very guarded discussion here in CA that the convention, Kerry's self destruction and Schwarzenegger's speech may swing enough voters in LA and SF to bring CA home for Bush.

Too much to hope for, IMO, but I love hearing the scuttle.

Major quoted,
The Navy says the silver star was never issued with a "V" for valor because the medal already states valor under fire and it is the responsibility of Kerry to correct the record

Just some highlights now, later tonight I'll go over the tape again.

Mort: Just as 9/11 changed Bush, VN changed Kerry. He seems to believe that when the US goes to war, chances are it is wrong.

JFK started the debate by saying he was qualified to be CinC because he served in VN.

Fred: McCain flashed the green light when he said it was not improper to go after JFK on his anti-war activities after he got back; this is why Bush 41 was able to talk about it today, why Rove has made comments. If McCain had said no, Bush campaign probably would not have said anything.

Played clip of Bush41 saying the SBVFT had "devastating" effect on Kerry campaign.

Mara: Not devastating but some effect. Pointed out that real issue of SBVFT was Kerry's character (hunh? A NPR lib who gets this?).

Note: before this, latest DNC smear by association (Michael Moore technique) is that Schachte works for legal firm that represented a company that got a $40 mill K from gummint, and CEO is Bush campaigner. Schachte says hasn't done any work for firm in years, never met CEO, didn't work on the case. But you can be the folks at DU are going "Halliburton! Halliburton! Halliburton!"

More later when I can transcribe. I think it's important because if gives us an outside (non-incestuous) look at how a fairly positive group views the SBVFT and their impact.

Kerry will have to go directly through the Navy to correct the record, and they're going to want to see how the error occurred in the first place, -OR- the Navy is going to find that their actual records don't agree with what Kerry has posted on his Web site DD214. That would be a criminal case, open and shut, of falsifying documents. I doubt he could survive that one. We need to wait and see.

Best part of the show was the brief clip of Bush 41 talking about Swift Boat ad #2 which he described as "devastating".

>>Mara: Not devastating but some effect. Pointed out that real issue of SBVFT was Kerry's character (hunh? A NPR lib who gets this?).<<

No, Mara does not get it. She was saying an attack on his character is not okay. Frankly, I think she is out to lunch. Put on Krauthammer.

I thought Kondrake really fried Kerry to crisp on that show, coming right after the Major-Brit piece and Bush '41 doing his supportive role in condemning Kerry's post-war treason. Kondrake saying that Kerry's experience of Vietnam and his voting record are all of a piece, that Kerry won't use force, won't act unless he has the whole world with him, is indecisive, whereas GWB is a post-9/11 warror...I mean, there it is. The epitaph you put on the gravestone of Kerry's campaign: what is "seared" in him is an inability to use force. Of course, I paraphrase. I'll see if I can get exact text. Mild Mort cut Hanoi John a new one, to go with the 450 that Zell cut him last night.

The dragon has been struck in the heart. It will take a few more weeks for it to bleed to death. Remember when the Dems panicked when McGovern was running and they dumped Eagleton because they thought he might not go over well with his pyschiatric record? Kerry's military, anti-war and Senate record are much, much worse than a few phobias and neuroses (though we can't be sure how much Hanoi John might suffer the same sorts of things, can we, without all his records?). Edwards may wind up the candidate. Well, better an idiot than a traitor.

I am waiting and hoping for a SBVT ad that features the cover of The Winter Soldier, with John Kerry's name standing right there against this mockery of the Iwo Jima flag raising. That will surely get the attention of The Greatest Generation, especially in Florida.

Don't be surprised if Dubya walks away from this convention with a lead of at least 10 points or more. Watch for MSM meltdown. This has been a week of unrelentless torture for Hanoi John and Old Media. Couldn't happen to nicer folks.

Kerry just bought 50 mil in ads in key states, suffice it to say that the Move on.org commies will have to step in with their unlimited resources.
