The Pendragon's Hall

The latest flip-flop from the champion of flip-flops is: You can't talk about Vietnam; yes, you can. It's almost like he says it in one breath. Under increasing pressure to release his records, which are beginning to look suspiciously like forgery, Senator John Kerry lashes back, trying to pin on Bush the old charge of AWOL and incompetence. Make up your mind, Senator. Does it matter what happened thirty years ago or doesn't it? If it does, you have a heck of a lot more explaining to do than the President does. How come the assistant secretary of the navy, whose signature appears on one of your citations, can't remember ever seeing it, much less signing it? How come the citation forms you received were either (a) unnecessary, seeing as they cited you for what the medal was given for, that is valor, or (b) different from normal citations given to others at the same time. You are learning now that you can't have it both ways.
