Woundgate

Did he bleed, and when did he bleed it? U.S. electoral politics is a strange thing indeed. Former presidential candidate Bobby Dole publicly doubts the quality and quantity of blood shed by John Kerry decades ago. The weird part is that a little while later Dole admitted that he actually kind of likes Kerry:

"There's respect there," Dole said Monady. "We were in the Senate together. But we're talking about the presidential race, and I tweaked him a little on the Purple Hearts."

So, there you have it folks. Dole doesn't actually have a problem with JFK '04. It's just that, you know, he wants him to lose the election. Our question is this: if you're telling everyone that the only reason you're going after the guy from the other party is because he happens to be the guy from the other party, then why bother going after him in the first place?
