Stand Up Against The Surge!
Media Matters has an excellent spanking of the mainstream media and several right wing “drudges” regarding John Kerry’s supposed “tearful” exit from the ’08 race. Writes Eric Boehlert (bolds mine): “For the record, at no point did Kerry shed any tears on the floor of the Senate last Wednesday; he simply did not “cry.” Rather, during a single sentence Kerry became emotional and his voice caught.
