According to the NYT, Sen John Kerry and his staff have put together a booklet of official papers and photographs that conclusively disprove the allegations made by the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth. I can understand why Kerry wants the world to know that his career in the service was as he said it was. What I can't understand is why did he wait? Why wasn't this booklet sent to every major media outlet within weeks of the Swifties allegations? Does Kerry assume that others view such allegations as bizarre because he does? Did he think that answering would only dignify the process? Don't kid yourself Senator, you were running against a man who avoided service in Vietnam. No way your service record can stand.
