7. I might not have been paying enough attention, but I thought they said

senator and former presidential candidate john kerry, and then said "senator and war hero john mccain, who is a former presidential hopeful himself." I could be wrong because I wasn't focusing on it, but a few other people noticed it too, so I'm not sure :shrug:

10. They mentioned that Kerry was a decorated Vietnam Vet, I believe.

I was actually surprised they mentioned it because they usually don't.

3. nope

because we all know that Kerry was a Viet Cong in disguise who infiltrated the U.S. Navy and is now in the Senate trying to undermine the War on Terror. :sarcasm:

4. I don't know - but Kerry came out swinging

(paraphrasing) - "Now we're hearing the 3rd rational for this war. First was WMD, then freedom, now fighting terrorists - who weren't in Iraq until we got there."
