Eh...
Kerry may be a fat-cat asshole, No doubt he is. If you're running for president, you most often are an ass-kissing jackoff. But at least Kerry served in Vietnam. He didn't get his daddy to bump him up the waiting list into the Texas Air National Guard. He didn't desert and go out snorting Cocaine. And he didn't go and get DUIs. All in all, you have to ask. Is being an pathetic asshole better or worse than being a blatant liar?
