Big Sigh on Memorial Day

November 11th is the day in England. Remembrance Sunday, the nearest Sunday to the eleventh, is a lovely day, full of respect.

John Karry with all the zillions his wife has to spend has only just recently come up with an idea on how to respond to the Swift Boat Veterans' charges of mid 2004!

It's not very convincing using the same argument that Skilling and Lay used when defending Enron's corruption.

From Andi's blog:

"Mr. Kerry and his defenders say that they did not have the extensive archival material, and that it was too complicated to gather in the rapid pace of a campaign. He was caught off guard, he says; he had been prepared to defend his antiwar activism, but he did not believe that anyone would challenge the facts behind his military awards. "We should have put more money behind it," Mr. Kerry says now. "I take responsibility for it; it was my mistake. They spent something like $30 million, and we didn't. That's just a terrible imbalance when somebody's lying about you."

I've only just seen the documentary 'Enron: the smartest guys in the room' - surely someone with a brain in the Kairey camp has seen it too and said "please don't go there".

Andi's words of advice:

"Kerry signed the SF-180 in 2005, but I don't believe that he released his records to the public. Perhaps that would be the best solution to this he said/he said."

See why I'm always saying how ladylike Andi is. Release the records dude or get over it. Sometimes things are that simple.
