JOHN KERRY CHARGED WITH SEX DISCRIMINATION:

Much as I respect military service, I think status as a veteran is a ridiculous single issue basis for deciding between candidates. Among other things, it has a discriminatory impact on women. And what about individuals who oppose the war, like Kerry himself? Presumably, they wouldn’t enlist. Presumably, he wouldn’t enlist. What is this posturing about?

He just wants to remind people that he’s a veteran himself, because, you know, he made the mistake of not making it a theme of his campaign . . . .
