May Surprise: New Kerry Ad Discloses Unpublicized Service in Vietnam
Just when we were beginning to feel comfortable about Bush's propects in November, the Scrappleface News Service hits us with a sudden and nasty body-blow.
John Kerry is running a $25 million ad blitz to inform Americans that he actually served for a few months in Vietnam:
"While most voters are familiar with Kerry's sterling record of legislative achievement as a leader in the Senate," said an unnamed spokesman, "they're surprised to discover that he actually served during wartime."
The source said that the story of Mr. Kerry's Vietnam service has been "suppressed by the right-wing attack machine."
News is breaking out all over on Scrappleface. He scoops everyone with the, err, scoop that John Kerry has announced that George Bush is not "qualified" to be disgusted over the Iraqi prisoner abuse story, having never committed atrocities himself.
