hopelessly inane than when he tries to lecture others about the sacred rites of American Patriotism.
In yesterdays's Sunday Globe column Jeff very selectively took General Wesley Clark to task for his assertion that John McCain's POW captivity was no great qualification for high office. Oh Jeff has a list of democrats who have insensitively attacked John McCain's service record out of political opportunism.
The Globe's Laughing Young Senescence actually has the gall to ask the following rhetorical question:
"Do Democrats only honor a military record when their nominee happens to be a veteran?"
No Jeff, the Democrats have a good memory when it comes to GOP perfidy on military records. We can recall with the simplest nostalgia the Swift Boat Liars and those little tiny band-aids emblazoned with the Purple Heart that were handed out at the 2004 GOP convention as a cute little jibe at Senator Kerry's war record.
Oh such a jolly joke that was, I wonder if Jeff ever used them to treat young Caleb's summertime "owies"?
Truth is, if General Clark and Senator Rockefeller wanna throw some sharp elbows into McCain's face, well so be it. Far worse things were flung at John Kerry's war record a mere four years ago...where was Jeff Jacoby's outrage then???
