None Too Swift
Matt Drudge has a link to this report in which John Kerry says he’s ready to kick certain people’s asses to get back to the Democratic nomination for the Presidency.
Bill Sammon quotes him (emphases mine):
Kerry says the only reason he didn’t compete in more states in 2004 was that he ran out of money. He says this was also the reason he did not adequately respond to a series of devastating TV ads by Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth, a group that questioned Kerry’s service in Vietnam and criticized his later opposition to the war.
“They had money behind the lies, and we did not have sufficient money behind the truth,” Kerry laments.
Asked if he dreads the prospect of being “Swift-Boated” all over again, Kerry counters that he would relish such a fight.
“I’m prepared to kick their ass from one end of America to the other,” he declares. “I am so confident of my abilities to address that and to demolish it and to even turn it into a positive.”
Kerry is clearly delusional: not only is he lying about the reason he didn’t respond to the SBVT, but he expects you to not remember that you already know he is.
I’ve been around enough liberals and partisan Democrats in the past couple of years to know this for a fact: virtually none of them has any confidence or genuinely good feelings about John Kerry. He is as dead to them as Walter Mondale. And you know where that lack of sentiment comes from?
Their private understanding that he —and not the SBVT— is the real liar here.
