Kerry the Veteran

Two comments I heard/read on Kerry the Vietnam War veteran.

First, on C-SPAN this evening, Ben Stein made a great point about John Kerry. He became famous, not for winning the silver star, but for trashing his fellow soldiers when he came back home.

Second, David Carr comments on the irony of Kerry preening as a war hero in front of the hard-core Democrats:

Stange is it not? The very same people who would have been spitting at John Kerry and calling him a "fascist baby-killer" in the 1960's are the same ones who are now getting all misty-eyed and choked up over his Vietnam war record.
