Cribbed Directly From R. Maddow

I got this directly from this morning's Rachel Maddow Show, so forgive the outright theft. This, however, is so incredible that I had to steel it.

As many of you probably read yesterday, John Kerry has allowed some of his records to be released. And, they show that Kerry probably was not that much better of a student than was George W. Bush at Yale. Ha ha! Ha ha ha! Ha! What a great story! Hee hee!

Yes, it's a funny story, and the right-wangers are certain to really zing us with it. Ha-ha!

The problem is that the real story went underreported. The real story, what else was in them records? Could it be...letters of commendation? Letters of commendation from some of the same fellas who were impugning Kerry in 2004 as the "Swift Boat Veterans?" Yep.

The question remains, why weren't these released when they could have done us some good? Only John Kerry knows.
