Suck-Up Watch 2

Bill Kristol is cruel enough to reprint John Kerry's 1971 testimony in its entirety.

I suspect that the reason Kerry decided to confront the Swift boat vets head-on was because he preferred a fight with them about his service record to a fight about what he said after he got out of the Navy.

The previous comment perfectly illustrates the perils of having a comment board. You migh want to institute a field sobriety test before allowing future users to inveigh.

Thought: John Kerry has been in Washington, where he has a professional staff to propitiate him and treat him as a god, for a very long time. Is it possible that he actually believes that his Vietnam-era behavior was above reproach, and that's why he's flailing so ridiculously now that he's being attacked on it?
