(Ignore the carats.)

Here are a couple of choice quotes from Kerry's testimony before Congress:

"We learned the meaning of free fire zones, shooting anything that moves, and we 
watched while America placed a cheapness on the lives of orientals."

"No ground troops are in Laos, so it is all right to kill Laotians
by remote control."

He does seem to have known exactly what to say to get elected senator from 
the most liberal state in the country.

As far as partisans go, I haven't yet decided whom to vote for.  I'm just 
wondering out loud why we ended up with a nominee with so much baggage.  Is 
it just that, without much hindsight, liberals knee-jerked for the candidate 
who would cut them the fattest checks?
