Kerry Pressing Swift Boat Case Long After Loss
John Kerry starts by showing the entry in a log he kept from 1969: “Feb 12: 0800 run to Cambodia.”
…I’m dusting off this fun and educational Swilling exercise. Comments are open, as we may be adding chapters. To recap and refresh…
Now, for My Proposal and it’s rules of engagement:
1) We are writing a draft screenplay called ‘Smoke on the Water:A Cambodian Christmas‘. (His life being so full of epic moments, I felt the prudent move is to limit it to just this one.)
2) Please keep your narrative/yarn to at most short paragraph. Pick up the action where the previous poster left off and contribute your own flights of fancy for this riveting saga.
3) Use all of your imagination. And as little foul language as possible, a challenge considering the subject matter. Decorative and artful cursing in the course of conversation between players is not expressly prohibited.
Pencils and legal pads at the ready? Grand!
Now have at it and remember, it’s a (Cambodian) jungle out there.
To get you in the mood, I’m including a link to John Kerry’s Bad Rap at no additional charge.

You know Cambodia was very sympathetic to the North Vietnamese, the Vietcong and the NLF. I wonder if Kerry is digging himself deeper by stating that he fled there.
Does it have to start “It was a dark and stormy night…”?
Oh mojo, you could if you wanted to! OR you could just read what we’ve already done on the earlier post I linked to and add your own, wonderful next step in JFK’s big adventure! Such fun, such intrigue!
