(Sorry, but the after-the-fact justifications have seemed so lame as to make me think that someone is thinking "okay, what can we say that fits in with the public evidence?" There were two changes in details about facts, followed by two changes in the Kerry camp story, accompanied with a "oops, sorry." I don't buy that shit from my kids.)
What after-the-fact justifications? He said something a couple times that was wrong, and he's corrected it now. The fact that it was January or February matters not at all. (Actually, Slave accused him of lying to hurt Nixon, but shut up about that when I pointed out that LBJ was the President in December and Nixon was the President later.)

You may not buy that shit from your kids, but you went to a rally tonight for a politician who lied in his autobiography that he flew fighter jets for "several years," when in fact he went AWOL to work on a GOP candidate's campaign. Had Kerry done that in the Navy, you would be all over him like ants at a picnic. So drop the old "double standard" line. You have the double standard of a Warsaw Pact gymnastics judge.
