The Gift That Keeps On Giving
The Best of the Web

We were not entirely happy when John Kerry* lost last year's presidential race to President Bush, for Kerry had provided us with so much material, starting all the way back in December 2002 when we first noted his possibly pathological Vietnam fixation. What would we do when Kerry faded back into obscurity?
But it turns out this was not a problem, for Kerry has not faded into obscurity, or at least not willingly. He still thinks he's running for something, and he hasn't gotten any better at it. Blogress Karol Sheinin calls our attention to his latest:
A few days ago, Kerry said "Every troop [sic] I've met in
Iraq comes up to me and says, 'Thanks for speaking out on
this.' " Except, as far as I can tell, and do correct me
if I'm wrong, Kerry hasn't been in Iraq since about a
year ago, in January 2005, right after the election when
his position was still "more troops needed." So, were the
troops in Iraq thanking him for speaking out on the need
for more troops?
It doesn't really matter, does it? After all, Kerry is a war hero!
* By popular demand: He promised 306 days ago to release his military records.
