Come for the politics, stay for the snark.
When John Kerry says “Bring it ON,” he is, of course, referring to lawsuits.

And of course, his surrogates, in this case the Soros funded Media Matters whores, are doing their part.

More bad news for Kerry:

I see the Democrats are still trying to throw up the ‘they weren’t in the same boat so they did not serve together nonsense,’ something I have discussed at length. This picture should end what my comments did not:

Should be entertaining watching Matthews, Carville, and Media Matters attacking the character of several men who were held as POW’s for 6 years.
Here is a the rundown on a Bush commercial that the Kerry campagin calls misleading:
A Bush-Cheney ’04 ad released Aug. 13 accuses Kerry of being absent for 76% of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s public hearings during the time he served there. The Kerry campaign calls the ad “misleading,” so we checked, and Bush is right.
Official records show Kerry not present for at least 76% of public hearings held during his eight years on the panel, and possibly 78% (the record of one hearing is ambiguous).
Kerry points out that most meetings of the Intelligence Committee are closed and attendance records of those meetings aren’t public, hinting that his attendance might have been better at the non-public proceedings. But Kerry could ask that his attendance records be made public, and hasn’t.
Aides also claimed repeatedly that Kerry had been vice chairman of the intelligence committee, but that was Bob Kerrey of Nebraska, not John Kerry.
The Annenberg crew find that the 76% figure is misleading:
However, the Bush ad’s lower figure plays it safe — giving Kerry credit for attending one hearing for which the record is a bit ambiguous. The record of that hearing, on June 22, 1999, lacks the usual list of the senators and staff members who attended. We checked the full transcript for any sign that Kerry had been there, and found no record of Kerry speaking, or anyone else noting his presence. If Kerry is counted as absent from that hearing as well as the others, he missed nearly 78%.
Snicker…
