#1 but he agreed to accept the medals before he agreed to decline the medals

#2 They should have asked him about 'Winter Soldier'.

Like for example did Kerry know it was a fraud? Kerry is not a fool and I doubt he did not know that some/all of the winter soldier (link) 'investigation' where testamony was fraudulant (by people who had never been to Vietnam) or made by imposters.

The metals / ribbons issue is a red herring to allow Kerry to 'address his anti-vietnam-war' stance without addressing the real issues.

#3 Kerry is not a fool

That remains to be established.

#4 It may have been intended as a red herring, but looking frantic on breakfast TV... that's not good. It is worse than his inability to respond to the left-wing, pinko professor at the City College of New York earlier this month. Why? Because people actually SEE Good Morning America.

Limbaugh posited that this morning's moments of discomfort were payback for Kerry's having lied about the thing to Peter Jennings. Maybe, maybe not. But it was some good, uncomfortable viewing. Cringe-worthy, even.

#5 Sez John Kerry: I voted AGAINST throwing the ribbons and medals over the fence before I voted FOR throwing the ribbons and medals over the fence.

#6 I wonder if the general public will ever see the cover of this book. This is as damning to Kerry as it can get.

#7 Has anybody actually read JFK's book 'The New Soldier'? Could be a great source of 'Kerry Quotes'.....

#8 It depends on what the meaning of "medals" is.

#9 Drudge has this on his site right now but no link to anything. Kerry unaware being taped after GMA segment, "Geez... They're working for the Republican National Committee" of ABC's Charlie Gibson, GMA Staff...

From what I saw this morning on FoxNews Kerry was clearly very angry. He's blaming the republicans for all of this.

#10 I think this is an online version of JFKerry's book, "The New Soldier"

#11 Yeah, that's it. I'll betcha Rove's got Couric on the payroll, too.

I think John's going to be getting The Call soon. I wonder who will actually be the Dem nominee.

#12 "I expressed there was great sense of wrench being the whole thing."

#13 Thanks for the link, A-4021; that's outstanding.

#14 Kerry sez -

The strawberries, somebody took the strawberries . . .Charlie Gibson did you take the strawberries?

#15 Charlie Gibson may not be working for the RNC after all.

Inquiring minds want to know if there are any checks drawn on a bank in Chappequa, NY and signed by someone named "Clinton", and payable to a Charles Gibson

This scenario has a familliar ring to Robert Toricelli.

#16 Yeah, it is a familiar-looking play. I believe he'll be out prior to the close of the convention, so they won't have need for any Supreme Court hijinx.

(And thanks for the Queeg reference. *heh*)

#17 #8 So I wasn't dreaming that clip made the ABC evening news. It appeared at the end of the story like a local action news flub up. So all you people on the west coast see if you can catch it. Maybe Kerry's staff has to learn not only not to PO an anchor but those lowly people who can, oops pushed the wrong button.

#18 Regardless of whomever created this opening, Kerry can be rocked on his heels now and he knows it; from now until the demo convention if the pressure is kept on. Doesn't matter what, doesn't even matter from whom. Keep piling the pressure on.

#19 I don't think that I have ever heard of a liberal getting whacked on Good Morning America. Have we gone Through the Looking Glass?

#20 Super Hose - Heh heh heh - Somebody at the RNC put LSD in Charlie Gibson's coffee and convinced him he was talking to VP Cheney.
