A third group speaks out. Will the wounds never heal?

once Leno does this kind of material, it is all over.

Love Boat Veterans Attack Kerry's Love Record
Gopher: "Sure He Might Have Been On The Love Boat But He Did NOT Make A Love Connection"

A new book has hit the stores today, causing a veritable partisan firestorm among the various political factions, especially among the Nick at Night constituency. A new group calling itself Love Boat Veterans Against John Kerry has begun an all-out attack, claiming that Kerry's Love Boat service, which only lasted 1 1/2 episodes, has been grossly misrepresented by the Kerry campaign. Several crew members, along with Charo, a special guest on an episode in question, claim that Kerry did not find love aboard the ship at all. In fact, he was described as "surly", "boring", and as one anonymous source said "a loose cannon."

is it expecting too much for Lipscomb to ask Lehman whether this might have been the standard practice in his office?

It is standard practise and the documents are legal...unless they are repudiated by the signatory immediately when he becomes aware of them.

Such is the case here. Lehman did not have knowledge...once he did he repudiated any documentation regarding Kerry's SS coming from his office and bearing his signature.

That is how it was explained to me. Perhaps the legal beagles here can chime in.

The key here is integrity. Kerry's SS citation was changed twice. That is beyond unusual...I mean we are talking Ripley museum stuuff here...You know...believe it or not.
Lehman says he did not approve any change. End of story...Kerry doctored his SS citation twice. That makes it phony.
Civilians may not understand this...But it is perfectly clear to veterans.
I have spoken with several SS winners today. They are shocked beyond belief. But everyone responded the same way when I asked how many citations does it take to make one SS. They laughed and muttered something like that dumb FXXK. Then we talked. I even got an invite to the Son Tay Raider and POW reunion in November.
