Drudge is reporting …

Drudge is reporting on a phone call Kerry made to one of the swift boat vets who are opposed to him. The conversation is instructive.

[Robert “Friar Tuck”] Brant [USN (RET)] received a call from Kerry at his home in Virginia while he was watching the Olympics on TV.

The call lasted 10 minutes, sources tell DRUDGE.

KERRY: “Why are all these swift boat guys opposed to me?”

BRANT: “You should know what you said when you came back, the impact it had on the young sailors and how it was disrespectful of our guys that were killed over there.”

Is this really a mystery to Kerry? The Swift Boat Veterans for Truth certainly hasn’t been quiet about why its members oppose him. And Kerry’s own folks have been trying to silence them, so they must know what the issues are.

But watch how Kerry tries to smooth things over.

KERRY: “When we dedicated swift boat one in ’92, I said to all the swift guys that I wasn’t talking about the swifties, I was talking about all the rest of the veterans.”

“But I meant everybody else, not you guys.” Puleeeeze! This sounds like a child trying to smooth things over with his friends after a temper tantrum, and 20 years after the fact to boot.

This sounds desperate.

UPDATE: More at marcland. (But I beat you to the punch by 45 minutes, dude. >grin<) His admonition is correct: “This is on Drudge, so I take it with a grain of salt….”
