AT LEAST HE'S NO JACK KENNEDY (via bboys):

Brief Point (snopes.com)

Claim: Senator John Kerry told interviewer Larry King that he "hasn't had time" to be briefed on the possibility of new al Qaeda attacks.

Status: True.

This actually redounds to the Senator's credit. His campaign pretty clearly made a conscious decision to just lie in the later stage of the campaign--about everything from the draft to Social Security to Tora Bora to "missing" explosives--and if they were going to do that it is certainly better to have done so from a position of ignorance than to duplicate the shameful way that JFK the 1st lied about the missile gap even after being shown there was none.
