DNC Final Day Take 11 - John Kerry edition: The Film Montage
Written by: Beck
First up, the film montage. It's narrated by Morgan Freeman. I doubt I'll have much to say on the topic.
Update: Re: Kerry's rock band The Electras, in Kerry's words, "Well, it was a way to meet girls." Now
that's what I call honesty. Because why else does anyone else ever form a high school garage band?
Update: We're up to the Vietnam war in the film montage. What I'm curious to see is how much time is spent on his 4 months in Vietnam relative to his 30 years as an anti-war agitator and a liberal senator.
Update: "I had come back after that against the war. I thought the US government had not been truthful to its people." I'm glad that Kerry has finally acknowledged this. Now they're discussing his testimony in front of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Now he's in law school. Roughly 3 minutes on the war, just under one minute on the anti-war. Fair enough I suppose.
Update: He's in the Senate now. They're discussing his family life while in the Senate. Now we're in 1995 marrying Teresa Heinz. Not one word on his senate career. Nothing on what he supported. Nothing on what he opposed. Nothing on what he voted for. Nothing on his committees. Nothing.
Update: Now he's running for president. Because he wants to make the world a safer place. Not one mention of his senate tenure beyond the fact that he was, in fact, in the senate. That's it. Incidentally, good call on having Morgan Freeman narrate. That guy's got a perfect voice for it.
