Chicken Salad
That a pack of chickenhawks led by a deserter dares to smear the record of a rich kid who enlisted in Vietnam when he didn't have to is a sign of the deep dysfunction of the political system in our country--not to mention an affront to common decency. Wesley Clark weighed in today with a column in the New York Times about the release of John Kerry's military records and the response of the GOP attack machine. Earlier this week, Best of the Blogs featured a post from Michael Scott giving Kerry advice on how to respond the next time it happens. It has a great headline: "Kerry to Bush: F*ck You, Strong Letter to Follow." If only the senator had the sense (and the stones) to take Michael's advice.
