I was just watching John Kerry’s self-immolation on ABC’s “Good Morning America.” His equivocations about his Vietnam medals back in 1971 have finally caught up with him. ABC News had him dead to rights — talking on a D.C. television show about the time about throwing away his medals, then denying it during later interviews, then mixing up the two in the 1980s, then in 1996 saying he would have thrown his medals away if he’d had time to go home to get them. Charlie Gibson clearly grew exasperated as the interview, or perhaps filibuster, wore on. I’m feeling guilty about the fact that I pitied Kerry by the end of it. It was painful to watch.
