Appreciate the clarification. What's funny though is that I'd never even heard of the "flap" before you posted this.

In other Kerry news (and you need to realize that I really never fully warmed to the man, just preferred him to the chimp), seems there's a new book out by Terry McCauliffe that doesn't exactly paint a fond picture of the senator with the lead pipe personality. He tells of Kerry not wanting to offend the public by responding to the slurs against him and attacking the President. I certainly believe it was Kerry's undoing in the election. Bush gave him the ultimate straight line in attacking his war record when Bush had such an abysmal personal history with the military.

Hope the Dems learned a lesson from two failed campaigns where they overhandled their candidates, trying to manufacture presidential personalities instead of finding true orators that know how to speak from emotion.
