Kerry/Rescue-ee 'Surprise' Reunion Well Planned

John Kerry took reporters for a ride in Iowa, and it wasn’t just while he was taking stabs at President Bush for landing on an aircraft carrier as he himself flew around with the press in an helicopter over the corn fields.

The reunion scene in which Kerry seemed completely stunned at the site of the Vietnam pal he rescued during his war days must have been enough to give the Grinch himself a case of the warm fuzzies.

Kerry rescued Jim Rasmann after heavy enemy gunfire, before going on to become one of the war’s biggest protestors. The two hadn’t seen each other since.

But, according to the American Spectator, Rassman contacted the Kerry campaign days before the celebrated "reunion rally.”

Well, the Kerry Campaign isn’t stupid. After being flown to Iowa, Rassman just happened to be standing smack in the middle of a press gaggle when Kerry "spotted” him and the two hugged.

It was about as moving as a slow-motion scene from a 70s movie, except everyone knew about it days ahead of time.

"It was a wonderful, moving moment," says a Kerry volunteer. "We were briefed on it before the event, and told to steer cameras to a certain area. Reporters knew about it in advance, and so did Senator Kerry. We don't leave anything like this to chance."

Kerry’s "surprise” lasted well into the day.
