We learnt that before former President Clinton went under the knife, he spent over an hour on the phone with Senator Kerry (did you know he served in Vietnam?) advicing him on how to get his sagging campaign up. The center peice of the advice in a nut shell was that Senator Kerry should talking about Vietnam. When I read that, I thought to my self "did anyone really have to tell him that?". Well, I gues so. If he does not talk about Vietnam I thought to my self, what else is he going to talk about?
Any way, the advice was not yet 72 hours old when the whole democratic party spin machines aka the liberal media are all over talking about President's Bush guard record. My first reaction to this was how does this help Kerry? If nothing else, this will only ensure that Vietnam stays in fore front of the news until election day. This will defintely hurt Senator Kerry since we know that the swift boat vets ad was very successful and the Senator still does not have an explanation for his Christmas in Cambodia story and besides, he keeps changing his position on every issue. On August 30, 2001, Senator Kerry told Meet the Press that we should spend what ever it takes to win the war in Iraq. Today he says, the $200B spoent so far is a waste.
Senator Kerry needs to keep his stories straight, and take Bill Clinton's advice and leave Vietnam alone. A word is enough for the wise.
