If I haven’t pestered Cornerites with this notion already, here goes. Have you noticed that the media treat vets against Kerry as crypto-Bush hacks, but the “Band of Brothers” are never really recognized as the exact opposite — as Kerry’s partisan hacks? They all got trips to Boston to hug Kerry on stage, and on whose tab? Jim Rassmann has been touring the country for months (including the trip to Crawford with Cleland), and on whose tab? Other brothers like Del Sandusky are traveling to battleground states and holding press conferences, and on whose tab? These brothers have been all over Kerry’s TV commercials since January…and they’re just personal friends and not Democratic operatives? If one set of vets are partisans, then so is the other, and the media coverage ought to acknowledge it. But they don’t.
