Dan Rather has a contender for stupidest motherfucker on TV news.
Ted Koppel, in all his brilliance decided to check out Kerry's war record. He didn't go to the veterans who served with Kerry. He didn't go to the Swift Boat guys who hate Kerry. He didn't go to Kerry. Nighline went to Vietnam & interviewed VC soldiers, under protective witness of a government handler. Lets ask our enemy to recall one seemingly insignificant firefight almost 40 years in the past, especially when they live in a communist controlled freedom deprived little village; to top it off with a government spy in the scene. Yep, there's a source to be believed.
Why as I still surprised by this kind of bullshit?
