FOX News Headline Mix-up

There's a headline at Fox News that reads "Moron Takes It to a Whole New Level". Surprisingly, this headline is NOT for an article about John Kerry's letter to President Bush.

Kerry who has traveled the country throughout the Democratic Primaries touting his service record and almost always appearing with veterans at his side wrote

As you well know, Vietnam was a very difficult and painful period in our nation's history, and the struggle for our veterans continues. So, it has been hard to believe that you would choose to reopen these wounds for your personal political gain. But, that is what you have chosen to do.(emphasis mine)

Does Kerry think that average American's are just plain stupid? Has Kerry bought so deeply into the liberal mantra that Bush is an idiot that he thinks Bush will not see through this? The only people guilty of re-opening the wounds of Vietnam are John, I'm a war hero, Kerry and Terry, Bush was AWOL, McAuliffe.

I will give Kerry credit for one thing. It takes a pretty huge set of gonads to suggest that 4 months of combat can absolve a person from criticism for 32 years worth of Senate votes. I suppose Kerry felt he had to take a shot. He had to know that he would get the response that he did

George W. Bush's presidential campaign told John Kerry it "does not condone" any effort to impugn his patriotism but asserted that senator's voting record on national security and defense issues is a valid target of political scrutiny.

I generally find FOX News to be fairly accurate but clearly someone goofed and put the Kerry headline on the wrong story.
