How very sickeningly sanctimonious...
This man has known Dole for a long time and obviously knows that the man has great honor and respect for his fellow veterans. He knows that Dole is a man who is independent, who defies anyone who tries to make him a tool of their own ambitions.
And yet, when Dole does choose to make harsh comments about another veteran the response isn't "wow! if senator dole feels this way... a man of considerable experience and integrity, maybe there is something worth a second look." Instead the reaction is "oh man, senator dole has really gone downhill because he defies my preconceived notions."
To see a man of Dole's stature and dignity being attacked for questioning a veteran (Kerry) who testified before congress that his fellow veterans where raping and murdering as modus operandi sickens me.
