From a reader:

Good day, Mr. Goldberg.
It’s a pity that you did not see Sen. Kerry (affectionately, “Liveshot” in
the Boston area) on Good Morning America today. He was having a terrible
time trying to get Mr. Gibson back on message.
There were two things that should be noted.
First, your “RAM” observance is dead-on accurate. He stated this was a
Republican attack several times, mentioning Karen Hughes by name.
Second, Sen. Kerry explicitly stated that “the Republicans can’t even prove
that President Bush showed up for National Guard duty”. He did this three
separate times, separated by a minute or more each. Apparently, the lack of
other candidates making this charge has resulted in his retreat from his
earlier position that this type of attack is unwarranted.
