Lying again, Buzzy.  Clark spoke at length, not only of Kerry's
indisputable heroism (indisputable except to right wing s*** trying to
pass themselves off as normal decent people), but his long public
service.

McCain?  Well, he spent a bunch of time as POW, which while heroic
didn't exactly count as military service, and has had a
less-than-steller run in the Senate.
