Good point. Either your dry humor isn't compatible with my browser, or you are Missing The Point.

2. We repeat it because it's true. Kerry has attempted to sell himself as a war hero, and he pointedly spends lots of time and attention on that, while steering away from his record in the intervening twenty years. Unfortunately for him, hanging your hat on only one qualifier leaves you vulnerable. Bush's claimed qualifications, on the other hand, are much more diverse. So, a hit on something like this - something that he doesn't even call out as a qualification - has less voter impact, except in the hard-core Democratic ranks. Whereas Kerry can take a numbers hit on a Swifties sort of thing, I think the impact on Bush is minor.

Kerry is a war hero. Under fire, he saved Jim Rassaman's life. The Navy awarded him a Bronze Star, and Rassaman is grateful. This tends to show toughness, whatever that means.
You keep repeating the GOP talking point that Kerry deserves to be smeared because he asked for it. Don't insult our intelligence by pretending that it has anything to do with the truth.
Whether it works or not is a different question. Of course you think it works -- otherwise, you'd be smearing him with something else.
