John Kerry, the anti-war antihero
Brent Bozell

The venerable Associated Press would not wish itself to be seen as a silly institution of stenographers, forwarding whatever hilarious charges politicians can concoct. But then how do you explain their Sunday report that John Kerry sent a letter to President George W. Bush, accusing him of using the painful topic of Vietnam for his "personal political gain"?

Will someone please cue the laugh track and a full orchestra playing the "Looney Tunes" theme song? Is there anyone in presidential politics who's tried to use his Vietnam experience for political gain more than John Forbes Kerry? Is there no end to Kerry fending off every examination of his decades-long contempt for seemingly each and every new weapon in the American arsenal by suggesting, as AP reported, that Republicans who didn't serve in Vietnam are fighting a war against war heroes like him?

Bush cut taxes too much for the rich at the worst time. Most voters will agree with that. But if he wants, Bush can stick up the fat cats as he always does. In pushing for too many tax cuts, Bush has put us in a state of permanent growing deficits. He did this for political reasons. It was very irresponsible. That's why more and more people cannot trust these neocons with our economy anymore. They don't have the longterm public interests in mind when they make these moves, just crass re-election motives.
