What was wrong with the way it was financed? I don't even know what you
mean by a "put up job."

The book is quite solidly sourced, and backed up by affidavits
admissable in a court of law. And Kerry's already had to retract his
long-time fantasy of Christmas in Cambodia. The campaign has admitted
that his first Purple Heart may be been caused by an unintentional
self-inflicted injury. The more this goes on, the more they're looking
much more credible than Kerry.

It's absurd to compare this to Michael Moore's polemic, which is based
on showmanship, not reality. You're acting like the media, holding your
ears, saying "la la la, I can't hear you."

It would have been if Kerry hadn't made his record the primary reason to
vote for him (well, that plus his one-point program for the nation to
not be George Bush).
