If We're Talking About Truth About Medals, How About This?
Russert: This is what John Kerry had to say last year. He said that his colleagues are appalled at the quote "President's lack of knowledge. They've managed him the same way they've managed Ronald Reagan. They send him out to the press for one event a day. They put him in a brown jacket and jeans and get him to move some hay or move a truck, and all of a sudden he's the Marlboro Man. I know this guy. He was two years behind me at Yale. I knew him, and he's still the same guy.”
Did you know him at Yale?
President Bush: No.
--Meet the Press, February 8, 2004
Thanks to an exhaustively reported Boston Globe biography of Sen. John Kerry, we now know what he and President Bush talked about during a brief encounter at Yale. Neither recalls the chat, but Kerry pal David Thorne was there. No, the talk wasn't about girls or sports. He said that Bush "engaged Kerry" on the hot topic of busing--interesting since Kerry allies portray Bush as an intellectual midget. "I just remember fairly vividly," said Thorne, "they were having a conversation about busing. John had been participating in busing stuff, but George was very conservatively placed and thought it was a crazy idea."
