#2 Ol' Hugh seems to be getting more pissed by the day. He is on a one man crusade. There is a lot to hear from him. His show today at 3PM Pacific may have even more good stuff.

#3 Think Skeery can even name any of the tribes he would've supposedly been delivering arms to? Think he'd know the difference between the Khmer and the Hmong (Meo)?

Not a chance.

I had a Khmer girlfriend - hey I'll bet she speaks, reads, and writes both English and French better than the exceptionally Indistinguished Senator from Mass - the guy with the reality problem. Oops, was that redundant? No I mean the other Mass. Senator with a reality problem, sheesh!

#4 I bet he says the Montdayards. After all they're Cambodians native to low lying coastal areas. lol

#6 Where is ScrappleFace when you need them.

Let me help. . .

Suddenly, there appeared at the American Embassy in Phnom Penh, a man, half-asian, and half Anglo, in his mid-30's. He appeared with a local woman who appeared to be in her late 50's. He declared, "I am the son of John Kerry."

The man demanded a DNA test, declaring, "I want to prove my father was in Cambodia in early 1969!"

#7 a Navy lieutenant on clandestine missions to deliver weapons to anticommunist forces.

Like the CIA would borrow a newby Navy lieutenant for a secret mission. Hell, the CIA had their own airforce, Air America, to use on missions like that.

#8 It's surprising:
1. that none of his posse went along for the ride.
2. that they would pick someone with less than 4 months boat experience for a "black ops" mission.
3. that his illegal trip into Cambodia was not utilized more fully during his Soviet-backed mission to undercut American foriegn policy immediately after his return CONUS.
4. that they would tap the one SWIFTee with a Super 8 camera for a mission where secrecy was paramount.

#9 ah...but he really brought the camera along to record all of those "war crimes". And he would have...he just ran out of batteries due to recording all of his heroics.

#10 Jeebus... it's like "Walter Mitty For President!"

If this jerk wins, I really wonder whether we'll survive his presidency. Those who are stupid enough to vote for him certainly don't deserve to.

#11 Hugh may have up dated his site after growler's posting.
Because that statement isn't a direct quote of Kerry, I (Hugh) contacted the reporter, Kevin Whitelaw, this afternoon. Whitelaw still works at U.S. News & World report where he covers foreign affairs and intelligence matters. Hugh: "Did John Kerry tell you that he ran guns into Cambodia?"
Kevin Whitelaw: "That's exactly what he told me."
Mr. Whitelaw declined my invitation to appear on my radio program, explaining that he doesn't report on or comment on the presidential campaign.
Can we now agree that John Kerry has engaged in wild claims about his service? Since he told that tale to Mr. Whitelaw, who else has he told it to?

#12 LOL Big Ed! SH, of course they recruited the draftee Jr officers for Clandestine (illegal) mission! They were expendable and they (the officers) knew that. Despite this, brave John F. Kerry single handedly piloted his HUGE NOISY boat up the narrow passages on four occasions to bring relief supplies to a beleaguered (but defiant) freedom forces in Cambodia. I have tears of joy streaming down my face! John F Kerry can count on my vote come November 2! But I am also going to vote against him because he is a lying, no good, and elitist swine!

#13 You know, I checked, and found I sent this link to Hugh Hewitt on August 10. I just thought he wasn't interested. Now it is the centerpiece of his show today. How odd.

A newbie lieutenant with less than a month's experience in command who was involved in anti-war activities during college!

#18 But he was from Yale! Surely that counted for something....
