Kerry:  “I was skipper of Navy boat No. 94 as the boat was being hit by rockets and a crewmate injured before I wasn’t skipper of that boat at that time under those circumstances.”

From the Boston Globe:

The Kerry campaign removed a 20-page batch of documents yesterday from its website after The Boston Globe quoted a Navy officer who said the documents wrongly portrayed Kerry’s service. Edward Peck had said he—not Kerry—was the skipper of Navy boat No. 94 at a time when the Kerry campaign website credited the senator with serving on the boat. The website had described Kerry’s boat as being hit by rockets and said a crewmate was injured in an attack. But Peck said those events happened when he was the skipper. The campaign did not respond to a request to explain why the records were removed.

Reached for comment, Senator Robert Byrd (D-WV) wondered what all the fuss was about, noting that “whoever it was commanding that dingy was killing him some Gooks, which is all that should concern us,” and that “combat particulars, like car stereos in DC, tend to disappear in the fog of war. 

“…Speaking of which, have one of them little Mexican fellas in the commisary fix me a coupla’ fish tacos, would you?  And tell ‘em not too spicy this time.  That last batch nearly ate a hole clean through my rectum.”

  1. jdm says:

    Rectum? That rocket hardly touched him.

    Or the boat.

    That he wasn’t serving on.

    At the time.

    Gawd, this is all so complicated. I’ll bet that CIA haberdasher was involved.

  2. Or did the fish tacos give him that “urinary tract infection” … as we called it …?
