#1 Former Secretary of Labor Robert B. Reich defended Kerryâs 1970 statements as appropriate for their time.

âIn the context of the Vietnam War, those comments are completely understandable,â said Reich, who has endorsed Kerry.

Reich just wants another Cabinet position; that cushy job at Brandeis must be killing him.

Adam Clymer Guess he's not the same as NYT reporter Adam Clymer, AKA the 'major league asshole' that Bush spoke so fondly of back on the 2000 campaign trail, eh?

âIf Kerry is the nominee, Republicans will try and search back into everything he ever said on every issue,â Reich predicted.

Brilliant, like I couldn't come up with that angle after twelve shots of whisky...

#4 âHe struck me as the sort of personâeven back then, newly returned from Vietnamâwho was thinking about running for president.â

That in itself is a damn good reason he shouldn't be president.

#6 The increasingly likely matchup between Kerry and Bush has already prompted comparisons of the senatorâs record in Vietnam and the presidentâs domestic service in the National Guard. And the two Yale graduates, both members of the secret society Skull and Bones, appeared set to square off in future months under the specter of the ongoing war in Iraq. Goldhaber, whose first-person profile of Kerry ran in The Crimson Feb. 18, 1970, said yesterday he recalled the candidate as an emerging outsider whose campaign focused squarely on his opposition to the Vietnam War. âWe lived, dreamed and breathed Vietnam,â Goldhaber said.

No you didn't. The poor sonsofbitches who were over there did. I don't mind the Left being Anti-War. I just they weren't so damn selective about it!
