What medal did George W. Bush get for his Vietnam service?

Yeah, he is a piece of work. He helps plan a demonstration for vets to
throw away their medals, doesn't have time to get his own medals, but
there is enough time to get the medals from an ill friend who couldn't
make it to the demonstration. SURE!

Reminds me of the qualifications for being a diplomat... having the
ability to tell 100 different versions of the same story to 100
different people...and remembering which version you told to each one.

Meddling self-righteous busybodies are never appreciated.

He threw away someone else's medals, being a POS. He also threw away
his honor at the same time.

Bullshit. Naushon is owned by the Forbes Family and has been for 147
years. If you are sufficiently related to the Forbes, you can use the
family compound on the island. John is sufficiently related. I claim
that you are a liar. Please prove me wrong.



The Washington NeoClowns can't even get their clown
shoes on right, and there is no wrong way to do that.

Do you know anyone who hasn't told a lie? Do you understand the difference
between a lie and a mistake?

It was around 1992 or 93, in his Boston office.
I was there for a MIA families briefing from Kerry, which ended badly
because he didn't give new information that he hinted he had, and the
Families already thought he was an asshole and said as much to his
face.

I did, a *long* time ago. I don't re-argue everything that is dredged
up over and over.

It doesn't really matter where his medals are today. He admitted that
the medals he tossed over the temporary fence at the Capitol steps
were not his own.

No. George Washington, anecdotally, but I never actually met him, so I
can't claim to know him.

Intention. When the same 'mistake' is repeated over and over again by
what appear the usual gang of dittoheaded posters, when none of these
posters can respond at all to the plain facts that the 'Kerry's
private island' nonsense is complete bullshit, I'd say intention is
manifest. It is a smear campaign, plain and simple. But you knew that,
or otherwise you would have provided some evidence to back up the
assertion that Kerry owns Naushon, instead of trying to avoid the
issue through diversion.

Prove that Kerry owns Naushon. This should be a matter of public
record.



The Washington NeoClowns can't even get their clown
shoes on right, and there is no wrong way to do that.

I have never made such an assertion, therefore I see no need to provide any
evidence.
