Ha! The "I can't vouch for the validity of it" thing reminded me of last night's Daily Show. They made savage fun of both the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and the CBS flap.

They started out with a Republican Senator who claimed that Kerry had saved his life by performing the Heimlich maneuver when he choked on a piece of apple in a fruit salad.

Then they had all kinds of "experts" come out of the woodwork, and argue that Kerry couldn't have been there at the time, that "fruit salad" did not exist in 1988 ("i've heard of salad,and I know what fruit is....but 'Fruit salad?'"). They got a chef on to argue that he had never in 30 years of being a chef seen apples in a fruit salad.

So they concluded that "we can't be sure this act of heroism ever happened at all."
