Brinkley Blows Kerry's Cover

Kerry’s excuse for not releasing his military records went up in smoke on Friday.

For months, the campaign has been hiding behind Freedom of Information Act requests and what it has said was an exclusivity contract with its ‘paid historian,’ [my quotes] Douglas Brinkley.

But Brinkley late Friday said that there was nothing holding back the campaign from releasing documents.

Reportedly Brinkley gave the appearance of being harried, exasperated, wanting very much to be left alone, and probably ruing the day he ever agreed to a professional association with John Kerry.

In tennis, when the ball comes into your court and you don’t return it enough times, you lose.

It’s up to Senator Kerry to stop playing with a ping-pong paddle.
