Therefore, while John McCain remains my friend, I heartily endorse Barack Obama as the better man to hold the office of President."

But Lurch couldn't do that. Just as he did with his fellow Vietnam vets during his treasonous, false, testimony on Capitol Hill over thirty years ago, and just as he did two years ago when he called the troops in Iraq stupid, he chose to gratuitously stick a knife into a fellow veteran.

He is truly a scumbag. No wonder his fellow vets put out those "swift boat" ads.


What's doubly beyond the pale about Kerry's attack on McCain is that McCain crossed party lines and defended Kerry against the swiftboat ads in 2004.
Kerry paid McCain back by swiftboating him.


I've thought that this might be an organized volley of attacks by the Obama campaign on McCain's superior military/foreign policy experience. About a week ago, it was Wesley Clark saying pretty much the same things as Kerry about McCain.
And in the case of either John Kerry or Wesley Clark, neither one has such an honorable service record that they're in any position to judge McCain's ability to command our military.
