Whispers getting louder
Michael Barone is a big-time pundit in his prime. The appearance of John Kerry's Christmas in Cambodia story in one of his columns constitutes a genuine fissure in the dam. Here it is: "Christmas in Cambodia?" And Barone's take on Kerry's increasingly tall tale is not an exercise in charity:
Kerry’s Christmas-in-Cambodia statements, made over many years, seem to be the kind of resume padding that routinely disqualifies political appointees and damages political candidates. His repeated tellings of this story seem more than a little weird, and usually we don’t want people who do weird things to be president. Perhaps by the time you’re reading this appears, the Times, the Post or the broadcast networks will have addressed this issue.We couldn't have said it better ourselves, if we haven't already.If they don’t, it’s reasonable to ask why not.
