Kerry’s Form 180 Won’t Go Away

Posted by Eric at 3:13 pm. Filed under: General

JustOneMinute is wondering why the Democrats don’t press Kerry more on this Form 180 thing:

Well, 2008 is a long way off, but the future is now! The Democrats would benefit greatly if they could pressure Kerry into keeping his promise to Tim Russert and signing the Form 180. How so? Picture Maureen Dowd with the following *hypothetical* lead:

The recent release of John Kerry’s military records confirmed what everyone in the responsible media already knew - John Kerry was the victim of a savage, cynical, media manipulation staged by the same folks that are now promoting Bush’s Social Security reform.

Oh, she would like that lead. And what Dem wouldn’t? The release of Kerry’s records should demonstrate quite clearly that the mainstream media behaved responsibly in largely ignoring this story, and that the Republican propaganda machine can be noisy, effective, and very, very wrong.

Where is the downside for Dems? It is too late for Kerry to lose the 2004 race. And surely, no Dem seriously believes that the release of his records could be so damaging as to hurt Kerry’s chances in his upcoming 2006 Senate run.

Humiliation of the Right, vindication for the Left, a boost for the mainstream media, another blow to Bush’s Social Security reform - it’s all good. One wonders what the Dems are waiting for. Well, unless there is some concern that Kerry’s critics were… never mind.

And the same blog has a bit more in the previous post here.

UPDATE: PoliPundit has a clock that you too can put on your blog.
