DRUDGE i running what is likely to be an even more bizarre story than the “I didn’t know they were taking pictures” gaffe of last night.
Says Drudge:
” A bombshell new book written by the man who took over John Kerry’s Swift Boat charges: Kerry reenacted combat scenes for film while in Vietnam!
The footage is at the center of a growing controversy in Boston.
The official convention video introducing Kerry is directed by Steven Spielberg protégé James Smoll.”
Well, that makes sense, I guess. Spielberg works best in fantasy, huh?
The book goes from there, though:
” “Kerry would revisit ambush locations for reenacting combat scenes where he would portray the hero, catching it all on film. Kerry would take movies of himself walking around in combat gear, sometimes dressed as an infantryman walking resolutely through the terrain. He even filmed mock interviews of himself narrating his exploits. A joke circulated among Swiftees was that Kerry left Vietnam early not because he received three Purple Hearts, but because he had recorded enough film of himself to take home for his planned political campaigns.”
The story goes on to suggest this is not a new story; others in Kerry’s command at that time and other swiftees as well also reported similar happenings.
Says the report:
“A joke circulated among Swiftees was that Kerry left Vietnam early not because he received three Purple Hearts, but because he had recorded enough film of himself to take home for his planned political campaigns.”
What on earth are the Democrats thinking?
