In "Political ad war rages on", Phila. Inquirer author Dick Polman admits that the excuse made by Kerry's people (including Sandusky who was in PA yesterday) that "the 1971 testimony was Kerry just repeating what he heard" is inane.
Polman admits that when you look at "the complete testimony", Kerry was indeed vouching for the contents of what he said.
Polman asks if Kerry's campaign can spin that testimony as really having been in the interests of patriotism. (I'll bet Polman would have been very angry if someone went before his newspapers' board and said that a neighbor told him Polman beat his wife).
While such a revelation about Kerry's latest excuse for his 1971 outrage is a plus from a far-left paper like the Inquirer, I found amusing Polman's opinion that the Swiftvets "are trying to paint Kerry in grainy black and white" as a long-haired rebel spewing antiwar material.
Well, I don't think the SwiftVets are trying to paint Kerry that way. The grainy old B&W films of Kerry's own 1971 testimony, in his own words, do a fine job of that!
