HANDLERS

     John Kerry's handlers are bound and determined to make him a super war hero. But the Democrats aren't very skilled at transforming a chicken hawk into a war eagle. First there is the Cambodia fiasco where Kerry is pictured as a dashing Errol Flynn type of warrior whose acts of bravado are “seared” in his brain. Now it appears that he wasn't even in Cambodia and may not even know where it is. Excuse?  Well, the rivers over there are not very well mapped or posted by name.

     Then to suggest Kerry's relative disinterest in Intelligence matters, Kerry was criticized for missing a large number of meetings of the Intelligence Committee of which he was a member. In order to change the tempo, Kerry's people pointed out that he served as the Vice-Chairman of that Intelligence Committee. Turrns out that the Vice Chairman was BOB KERREY, not John Kerry. Wrong guy. Reminds me of The Gang That Couldn't Shoot Straight. My guess is that Kerry's handlers will say that he was offered the Chairmanship and turned it down.

     Kerry has a tough time retracting or apologizing for his anti – military stance during and after the Vietnam period, and throughout his 17 years in the Senate. Can you image a guy who voted to support the Iraqi war, voted not to fund it, and then bragged about it? Trying to sell a new image won't be easy. He just is not believable. He makes me very uncomfortable.
