Adam Felber, of NPR's show "wait, wait, don't tell me, has a blog and it has a lot of funny posts including this priceless post where he parodies the "Swift Boat" controversy.
"At an AVWS rally yesterday, former Lieutenant George McBurroughs told the crowd that Cleland never actually lost his legs. Thronged by supporters waving signs that read "This Story Has Legs" and "Tell Max Cleland to Get Up," McBurroughs alleged that Cleland tucks his legs under him in his wheelchair for public appearances but is often sighted around Georgia swimming, jogging, and taking part in latin dance competitions. "As for the arm," McBurroughs said, "I was only a mile away when it happened. I saw the whole thing. There was no grenade. Cleland cut himself while shaving, and the wound is a lot less serious than it looks.""
That's too funny.
Seriously, who would have thought Vietnam would be one of the most engaging political issues in the 2004 political campaign. I think both candidates would be smart to stick to more current topics, but neither candidate has taken my advice for a long time.
