#1 ''I have signed it," Kerry said. Then, he added that his staff was ''still going through it" and ''very, very shortly, you will have a chance to see it."

If this isn't the epitome of Kerryspeke I don't know what is. The guys a straight-up weasel. (No offense to weasels.)

#2 I guess he signed it before he didn't sign it, eh?

#3 But after signing the form there is a lot of work yet to do.
first, you have to decide what envelope to use - this can be tricky as there are hundreds of styles of envelopes on the market

second, you have to figure out how to address the envelope-- this can also be tricky, for example, should you use the 5 or 9 digit zip code

third, what return address should be used

fourth, should you use insured mail, certified mail, registered mail, UPS, FEDEX, etc. - this will itself require several aides many hours to decide

fifth, what post office or UPS station or FEDEX station will be used

this is a complex matter which must be approached with nuance and balance

#4 lol, mhw! All great points! I often forget we need to be nuanced in these matters.

#5 Then, he added that his staff was ''still going through it"..

What makes it necessary for a preprinted form to be scoured a second time around after it's been signed? Did Kerry expect the characters to somehow rearrange themselves?

#6 This guy can't even sign a form without his staff going over it?
What a great, decisive president he would've been...

#7 But dude, that coif is so Presidential!

#8 So he signed the form before his staff went through it? What a bold, downright presidential action.

Wouldn't it be easier just to hire Chinese or Russian intel operatives to steal his service records and share them with the American people?

#9 More like "he signed it before he realized that it proved he was dis-honorably booted then years later with political clout trading with the military had status changed"

#10 If the envelope doesn't have certified organic vegan glue then it's back to square one...

#12 Back at you Em on the vegan glue.

You gotta wonder how President Kerry (*spit*) would have reacted if NORAD (or whoever it is these days) reported a Russian missile launch.

#13 Matt,

Obviously he would have sought U.N. Security Council approval before shooting the missles down or launching a counter-attack. He said so himself.

I'm sure Russia would have approved it. That is, of course, after Kofi and his staff have a conference in Napels about the measure, and before that they would need a luncheon in Tahiti for a few weeks to arrange the conference....

#17 How hard is it to fill out THIS ONE FORM, the instructions are right here. It's a lousy TWO PAGES. Turnaround time 2-4 weeks.

#18 The botoxed one is obviously trying to skate on this one. Must be a dishonorable discharge. Two new witnesses (both were JAGS) to his dishonorable discharge, article was posted at Free Republic

#19 Matt - Lol! The roll continues unabated, lol!

SC - Now that's interesting... I hope it proves bona-fide. I fear for the individual having his personal info out there - the Ted Rall crowd is capable of any act. Thx for the link!

#20 Thanks, Sea Cruise... very interesting.

It occurs to me that the left in general has an "ego thing" about the soft-on-defense position. It's not enough for them to win, they actually feel the need to have their positions described as intelligent, even when they're not.
