You left out the part about Kerry's staff first denying that Kerry ever claimed to have been in Cambodia, and then, when confronted with his Senate testimony transcript, stammering, and promising to call the reporter back.

Which they never did.

And they still haven't done.

If Kerry comes out tomorrow and says that he was in Cambodia, then I will give this one a LOT less credence. But that hasn't yet been part of his response to this days-old blip.
A Kerry staffer not being familiar with everything the guy has uttered in his long public career does not make Kerry a liar. And if I were the Kerry campaign -- an odd hypothetical, I know -- I would be trying to make this story go away by ignoring it, a bit of damage control that has nothing to do with its truth or falsity.

And you don't take issue with Drum's point that nothing contradicts Kerry. So the conservative line is, we've thrown a lot of mud and Kerry isn't working hard enough to wipe it away, so he must deserve to be dirty.
