(one of the best parts of Pierce's blog is the intelligence of most of the comments. The blogging-in-pajamas-in-Mom's-basement-demographic seems to be blessedly smaller than usual among the commenters) . Some favorites:

Barry Friedman · University of Tulsa
The people who mocked Kerry for wondering "How do you ask a man to be the last man to die for a mistake?" were never in danger of being asked. They were either doing missionary work in south of France, hanging out in bars in Tuscaloosa, frequented by National Guard members, or sitting out the war entirely with anal warts and bad knees. Chuck Hagel, John Kerry, and Al Gore--they fought, they served. Ted Cruz, John Cornyn, Jim Inhofe--they didn't.

Sean Falvey · · Long Beach, California
Don't believe for a minute that Kerry's BCCI investigation and the people in the intelligence world he pissed off was not part of the reason he was swiftboated so effectively.
