If it were the difference between March and April, ok. But how do you think you spent Christmas somewhere you didn’t? Like that would be memorable, you’d think. Even in war, Christmas is memorable because of what it is. Maybe even moreso since you are off at war. Fog of war and all, sure. But just seems odd.

But then releasing records would end all of this speculation and wondering, right?

I heartell Chris Matthews was a little emotional with John O’Neill last night. And Carville was downright mad on Crossfire–really over the top, even for him, earlier this week. I can’t help but think it is because of this: They don’t want Kerry’s inconsistencies–on issues, on his record, etc.–exposed, because then people will see a sure-fire dealbreaker: He simply can’t be trusted. People have gotta want president they can trust on simply factual matters, right?

I picture John Kerry , a few years down the line. Oprah asks: Why did you take both sides of so many issues? Why didn’t you just release the darn records? “Because I could,” says former (ACK) president John Kerry. “I knew I could get away with it all, and wouldn’t be called on it. The media wanted anybody but Bush. I could do whatever I wanted. Teresa ran with that, but I enjoyed it, for sure.”
