I like this guy's style. I haven't really understood all the hubbub about GWB's military situation anyway...like it matters NOW....geesh!

February 16, 2004 -- Democratic front-runner John Kerry yesterday urged Democrats to stop charging that President Bush went "AWOL" during his Texas National Guard service - a claim being pushed by the party's national chairman, Terry McAuliffe.
"I don't plan to do that, and I've asked them not to," said Kerry, a decorated Vietnam vet, during what could be the final presidential primary debate heading into tomorrow's Wisconsin vote.

It was a nonstarter, but I can't help but wonder: maybe it's because Kerry doesn't want us to dwell on what he did after he got home from Vietnam? Maybe it's just the cynic in me...

Not likely.....Reps are going to dog him about Vietnam no matter what.

Wasn't it Michael Moore who brought up the "deserter" charge against Bush anyhow?

Yep. Among other bits of mud...

Hoo yeah, you're a cynic all right!

I wish Kerry luck at trying to rein in McAuliffe...
