Celebrity Hero . . .

How many real heroes go back to their scene of alleged heroics to film the event or to commenorate the event in photos? Kerry was apparently a one-man personal PR agency to push his own heroics. Can you imagine how much time and film he wasted, particularly since it will fail to have been enough to get him elected. Move to the issues, Kerry; I dare you to come up with some feasible plans, detailed plans, on how you, John Kerry, will address poverty, unemployment, health care, tax reform, and...

Some Additional Peculiarities About Kerry's "Service"
