The McGreevey Gambit

You know what Kerry should do if he cannot, in fact, produce documentation refuting the Swiftboat Veterans for Truth? Forget all this “BRING IT ON” chest-beating – that just makes him look silly. And forget sending baying jackals like Jim Carville and Paul Begala and Mike McCurry and Lanny Davis out there to smear the Swifties – that just makes him look like a cowardly bully who can’t fight his own battles. The point, as I’ve been saying ever since this erupted, is to make the whole mess go away.

And there’s only one way left for Mr. French to do that: Pull a McCreepy! Call a press conference and announce that he’s coming out of the closet as another “gay American,” following the “courageous” example of the governor of New Jersey, and declaring that he wants to represent ALL Americans as the first gay President of the United States.

This whole Swiftboat/Vietnam imbroglio would disappear like a sneeze in a tornado. Would neutralize Kerry’s vulnerability on the gay marriage issue as well.

And I’m sure Teraaaaaaayza would be willing to go along if it meant becoming First Lady, right?

Ball’s in your court, Senator.
