JOHN KERRY VS. BOB KERREY: Some people have trouble telling the difference:

The ”band of brothers” was organized by Kerry, according to this book. It tells of a 2003 telephone call to Adm. Roy Hoffmann, who commanded swift boats in Vietnam, telling him he was running for president. Hoffmann, mistakenly thinking it was former Sen. Bob Kerrey, ”responded enthusiastically.” Once the admiral realized it was John Kerry, ”he declined to give Kerry his support.”

Apparently, even some people at the Kerry Campaign are having trouble, as they’re crediting John Kerry with Bob Kerrey’s service as Vice Chairman of the Intelligence Committee.

Fortunately for everyone, we didn’t wind up with a Kerry/Kerrey ticket — though at least then such confusion would matter less. . . . And hey, if it were a Kerrey/Kerry ticket I might even vote for it.
