Not sure how new this is but this "what-were-they-thinking" article by Michael Graham has some good lines in it.

John Kerry: Not So Swift

Quote:

...what genius in the Democratic Party looked at John Kerry and said, "Yeah, Vietnam — that's the ticket!" Why not get Scott Peterson to run for attorney general as the pro-life candidate?

There are people in American public life for whom Vietnam would be a worse campaign issue than it is for John Kerry. Jane Fonda, former members of the Kent State National Guard, Lt. William Calley of My Lai …

That's about it.

Here's a couple of other zingers:

Quote:
When you turn the Democratic National Convention into a four-day screening of Apocalypse Now — complete with the candidate's own home movies; when you stride to the podium with a crisp salute and a "reporting for duty"; when your political entourage has more military uniforms in it than the coatroom of a Subic Bay bordello; in short, when you base much of your campaign for president on two tours of duty in 'Nam — you, sir, have no right to complain that your opponents are too obsessed with the past.

Do you really want Mr. and Mrs. Typical flipping through photo albums of John Kerry hanging out with hippies and throwing away the ribbons from his medals?


Well written article, thanks for posting that!
