A Matter of Degree
Well, now the Republicans are trying to drudge up a scandal, claiming that Kerry "lied" about whether or not he ever previously said he had thrown away his medals in the 1970s, as opposed to his ribbons.
And this is getting play with ABC News.
Yeah, I guess that's a pretty important issue, along the lines of whether or not someone was telling the truth when he denied having an affair with an intern out of fear of embarassment.
Now the issue of lying in order to commit our troops to war? Or the issue of lying about whether or not we were adequately focused on protecting our nation from terrorism pre-9/11, despite ample warnings? Or lying about outing an undercover CIA operative? Or lying about an election-year deal about gas prices? Or lying about the cost estimates for a new entitlement program?
C'mon, the media doesn't need to worry about those things. The public doesn't care. But whether or not someone said that they threw away medals only to later deny it? That's the kind of pressing issue the country needs to know about to decide our highest elected office.
