Michael Graham writes about John Kerry misrepresenting his ancestry. Of course, he rose to power in a place where being perceived as Irish helped your career politically.

He's actually Jewish. Graham acts like this is a big deal. Yet Graham seems to have no problem with the Kennebunkport Bushes moving down to Texas and acting like they are down home countryboys. He has no problem with having a leader with duis and drug use acting like he's a humble, religious man. He has no problem supporting a man who never could run a successful business venture on his own being a leader of a country that used to pride itself on hard work and success, not partying, being AWOL, and overall mediocrity. And finally, he has no problem with such leaders putting our soldiers on the line over falsified intelligence.

Who are we kidding here. Character pissing contests are fruitless. Our politicians are going to lie. But I'd rather their lies didn't cause the deaths of others, and the loss of freedoms. Kerry fibbing about his Irish descent didn't kill 500 soldiers.
