#1 The building of the Moscow subway was terribly expensive, and just before its grand opening, the American ambassador was given a sneak preview by the Russian Foreign Secretary. The American was very impressed by how elaborate it all was, then asked, what kind of subway cars do you use?
The Russian Foreign Secretary immediately and angrily snapped back at him, "But what about your mistreatment of the blacks in the American South!?"

(The Russians had spent all their money that year on the tunnels, and didn't have any left for subway cars.)

#2 he didnât have time to go home and get them

Didn't he live in New York, and wasn't one of the medals he did throw belong to a New Yorker that he got from that veteran at a VA hospital in New York? I am confused?

#3 As far as it goes, Kerry should be as happy with the focus on the medals and ribbons as Bill Clinton surely was about the blue dress. The medals are window dressing as compared to the allegations he made against fellow servicemen.

#4 "If George Bush wants to ask me questions about that through his surrogates,..

Sounds like one of those types that believe conspiracies of all kinds are afoot.
