Dukakis This, Assholes
 
From Pandagon comes this USA Today story on the GOP's new strategy: they're going to pull a "Dukakis" on John Kerry.

Republicans ridiculed Democrat John Kerry's primary campaign contortions about the war on Iraq on Tuesday and handed out pictures of Kerry clad in a hooded blue anti-contamination suit as he climbed out of a NASA space shuttle orbiter. 
 
The GOP effort to pull a "Dukakis" on Kerry is shifting into high gear.
 
...
 
Asked the significance of the photo of Kerry in the anti-contamination suit, Republican chairman Ed Gillespie smiled broadly and said, "We just thought it was a great photo."
 
I've got another great photo for you Ed; and as a bonus, it proves why your bullshit attempt to pull a "Dukakis" on Kerry is going to go down in flames.

This is the last time John Kerry wore his country's uniform.



This is the last time our President wore his country's uniform.



To quote the Big Dog --
 
Here is what I know about John Kerry. During the Vietnam War, many young men—including the current president, the vice president and me—could have gone to Vietnam but didn’t. John Kerry came from a privileged background and could have avoided it too.  Instead he said, send me.
