Foxy - I almost did a backflip when I read this article (I didn't see the program) back in January. It's a transcript of Kerry with Russert on "Meet the Press", where Russert gets Kerry to
promise to release his records!!!
MR. RUSSERT: Many people who've been criticizing you have said: Senator, if you would just do one thing and that is sign Form 180, which would allow historians and journalists complete access to all your military records. Thus far, you have gotten the records, released them through your campaign. They say you should not be the filter. Sign Form 180 and let the historians...
SEN KERRY: I'd be happy to put the records out. We put all the records out that I had been sent by the military. Then at the last moment, they sent some more stuff, which had some things that weren't even relevant to the record. So when we get--I'm going to sit down with them and make sure that they are clear and I am clear as to what is in the record and what isn't in the record and we'll put it out. I have no problem with that.
MR. RUSSERT: Would you sign Form 180?
SEN KERRY:
But everything, Tim...
MR. RUSSERT:
WOULD YOU SIGN FROM 180?
SEN KERRY: Yes, I will. But everything that we put in it, Tim--everything we put in--I mean, everything that was out was a full documentation of all of the medical records, all of the fitness reports. And I'd call on those who have challenged me, let's see their records. I want to see the records of each of those people who have put up a challenge, because some of them have some serious questions in them, and it hasn't been appropriate...

Oh, and on the same "Meet the Press" program, he couldn't help getting in one last dig (hehe, Russert wasn't buying it):
SEN. KERRY: If you take half the people at an Ohio State football game on Saturday afternoon and they were to have voted the other way, you and I would be having a discussion today about my State of the Union speech.
MR. RUSSERT: And the president will say if he had half the people at a high school basketball game in New Hampshire or Oregon, he would have carried those states because he lost them by 5,000 or 7,000.

OK, bottom line is he promised three weeks ago and guess what? Nada. No records so far and as far as I'm concerned, he ain't gonna. No how, no way. How's he gonna 'splain that his discharge papers were signed during the Carter administration, while he was supposedly discharged years earlier? 'Nuff said.
