I didn't have the honking hooters back in the days when I made out with Hello in the bar in Lincoln Park. I had regular old boring A cup natural ones back then.

My gawd, what a deliciously ironic post to duck back in for.

Poor Santa. Between vomiting with rage, and missing Kerry in Cambodia that Christmas, he just can't catch a break.

You don't even want to see what I was going to post next if that didn't draw you back.

I'm underwhelmed by the nomination of Porter Goss to be the next DCI, but there is one piece of information I can't figure out that could push me to the other side. It sounds like there's no way Goss is going to be confirmed before November. If not, is he going to run for re-election? If he can stand for DCI and keep his current gig, I'm underwhelmed. If he's giving up his seat for a chance to be DCI if Bush wins re-election, that means something more. Anyone know?

Is this recap of the bidding fairly complete? If so, what's the beef? If not, what's Drum missing?

"The Mary Ann myth:
Kerry falsifies NH woman’s story

NEXT TIME John Kerry accuses President Bush of misleading the American people, remember Mary Ann Knowles.

Knowles is the Hudson woman whose battle with breast cancer Kerry has turned into a campaign anecdote. Here is what Kerry said about Knowles during his acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention on July 29:

“What does it mean when Mary Ann Knowles, a woman with breast cancer I met in New Hampshire, had to keep working day after day right through her chemotherapy, no matter how sick she felt, because she was terrified of losing her family’s health insurance? America can do better. And help is on the way.”

What it means is that John Kerry is fibbing. As Union Leader correspondent Scott Brooks reported on Sunday, Mary Ann Knowles did not have to work through her chemotherapy for fear of losing her health insurance. Employed by Elderhostel, the Boston-based non-profit travel organization for people 55 and older, Mary Ann had 26 weeks of paid disability at her disposal. More was available for a long-term illness. She did not have to work through her chemotherapy. She chose to.

Knowles would have lost some income had she taken the disability leave, said her husband, who is unemployed. But she would not have lost her health insurance, as Kerry has repeatedly misstated.

Asked if the Kerry campaign bothered to get the details of Knowles’ personal story, spokeswoman Judy Reardon said Kerry’s use of the words “every day” in describing Knowles story was “a colloquialism.” She went on: “When a woman has a mastectomy and goes through therapy, I don’t need to double-check on her.”

In other words, Kerry knowingly used the words “every day” when he did not mean “every day,” and he used the phrase: “she still has to go to work every day — just to hang on to their health insurance” when she did not have to work every day and was in no danger of losing her health insurance.

In short, he lied. Repeatedly.

With all that has come to light about Kerry’s voting record and his Vietnam service, his misrepresentation of Marry Ann Knowles’ story should surprise few. Kerry cannot even get his own personal history straight, so how can we expect him to correctly relay someone else’s? "

(From The Union Leader . )

Remember "I invented the internet"? Remember how Gore never recovered popular credibility?

Kerry invented . . . well . . . lots of stuff, apparently.

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.

Thanks! It's temporary, but so's the absence. I'll resume overposting eventually. The damned ankle-bracelet interferes with the wi-fi.
