yet they have the temerity to question Kerry's committment to national defense.

The world didn't end with the Vietnam war. Bush, Cheney, and Kerry all have long records after the war and Kerry's shows reason for people to be concerned.

Cheney was a draft-dodger five times. Nincompoop... I saw a bio on Tv about him and he was also a ne'er [sic] do well drinker like GW was.

Gosh! Nincompoop? I'm deeply hurt. LOL.

So, you saw a bio on TV, eh? Well, I guess that settles it.

BTW, just wondering which branch of the military John Edwards served in. Can you tell me?

Oops, never mind - here's what he was doing during the Vietnam War:

His draft availability aside, Edwards could have enlisted in the military, following the example of the men he now calls liars. Or sign up for the National Guard, the way George Bush did.

John Edwards, however, did neither, enlisting instead in Clemson University, where, according to spokeswoman Jennifer Palmieri, "He had a little fun . . . drinking beer with buddies . . . smoking marijuana a few times."

"His campaign would not provide more specifics other than to say Edwards' occasional marijuana use continued through law school but stopped after that," the Charlotte Observer reported in July.


Dang ne're do wells!

PS: It's not nice to call people who got deferments draft-dodgers when the most famous one is scheduled for a quadruple bypass Tuesday. Shame on you.
