Ha!

I've never liked the title of Al Franken's book, but I'm beginning to sympathize with him. Atrios points out a little detail of the Matthews/Malkin encounter that shouldn't escape our notice. When Mattews pressed Malkin to come up with any names of soldiers accusing Kerry of deliberately inflicting his own wounds, all she could come up with were "Patrick Runyan" [sic] and "William Zeldonaz" [sic]. Runyon and Zaladonis (spellings from the transcript corrected) happen to be the very soldiers whom the NYT reports had their accounts distorted by the SBVF"T" and who are now corroborating Kerry's version of events leading up to his first purple heart.

I realize Malkin was grasping for something, anything, but that was a pretty poor choice.
