For a sophisticated leader of nuance, Kerry's responses are very, very lame

Kerry was at it again. He said, as the best retort he could think of to Cheney's criticism on Wednesday, "I'm not going to have my commitment to defend this country questioned by those who refused to serve when they could have..."



I don't even want to ask in surprise that "John Kerry was in Vietnam? Really?" That's just too old. If his best response to any criticism of his votes and record, which he supposedly said he is running on, is to drag out the Vietnam issue and his 4 months (not 2 tours!) there, and Bush's national guard service and Cheney's deferrments, then he is going to lose big.
