In a midnight stealth speech this past Thursday, John Kerry whined that Vice President Cheney called him unfit for service.
One problem with Kerry's claim. Vice President Cheney didn't call John Kerry unfit for service. Cheney did question his senate voting record. Now if Kerry thinks that criticism of his voting record means he is unfit for service, it makes me wonder if it isn't true after all.
Sort of like when someone says, "I'm hungry" and another person replies replies "I didn't rob that restaurant," it makes you wonder if he robbed the restaurant.
His proof that he is fit and the President is not? Kerry once again pointed to his four months in Vietnam. After 20 years in the Senate, his main claim for fitness is a four month tour of duty that happened 35 years ago.
Kerry then responded to Cheney's non-accusation by calling President Bush and Vice President Cheney "unfit for service". Really.
So it is insulting to Kerry to be unfit for service when others don't say he is, but alright for him to call his opponents unfit.
Why does this man so badly want his oppenents to call him unpatriotic and unfit? There is something sad and desperate about that.
