Senator Kerry's Fantasy World
There is an
The first occurred when he told reporters that he had talked to a number offoreign leaders and they told him that they hoped he would win thepresidency. Of course, no leaders were named and none came forward to collaborate the story.
The second occurred on the Senate floor, when he stood before the chamber and recounted how his Christmas in Cambodia story was seared into his memory. This story turned out to be false. He spent Christmas in Vietnam on a base and was not even on patrol.
Other times he has talked about how he carries in his briefcase a hat from a CIA agent that he dropped off in Cambodia during the war. This is a bizarre tale that I doubt anyone truly believes.
Now we have Senator Kerry telling us in the presidential debates how he metwith all of the members of the U.N. Security Council one week before votingin October 2002 to authorize the use of force in Iraq. This turns out to befalse as well. The members of the panel have no recollection of ever meetingwith Kerry.
The uncanny ability of Kerry to make up fictitious stories to bolsterhis argument is frightening. It scares me to think that someone who suffers from delusions of grandeur could end up running our country. I am not sure how much play this will get in the mainstream media since they are continuing toprop up Kerry's failing campaign. But if the story gains any momentum,Kerry will not recover.
