Conservative writer Lee Ellis compares George Bush and John Kerry [blog dead, now a malware site]: “here we have a draft dodger who accidentally found himself in the Vietnam War compared with a presidential candidate who flew many missions in a dangerous plane out over the Atlantic, completing five years of military service in the Texas Air National Guard”.
At least, I think he’s a conservative writer. If he’s a satirist, then the world is ever so slightly less dangerously mad than I currently believe it to be.
(via World O’Crap, which is worth a read).
After reading that article, all I can say is that guy has way too much fondness for exclamation marks.
Personally, it makes me respect Kerry even more: He even took video cameras with him to use in making political ads that could be used to promote himself as a war hero in his campaigns. – on top of everything else, it seems John Kerry invented personal, easily portable video cameras in the 60s. Is there anything beyond this man?
8 mm cameras were not uncommon, particularly among the filthy rich that yachted with JFK off Cape Cod in their youth.
