1. they are shoving the military records in bush's monkey ass face

2. MSNBC is showing them on the boat. They listened in for a while and they

were saying to keep ahold of the army guys so they don't go over and then the media boat went by and they waved but were saying "it's the media, try and wave like you mean it" etc (joking around). It was nice.

13. They're playing Springsteen's "No Surrender"

as Kerry gets off the boat ... perfect:

'Cause we made a promise we swore we'd always remember
No retreat, baby, no surrender
Blood brothers in the stormy night with a vow to defend
No retreat, baby, no surrender
"

And everybody needs a chance, once in a while
Everybody wants to be
Closer to Free
Everybody one

Everybody needs to touch
You know, now and then
And everybody needs a good, good friend
Everybody wants to be

Like they wanna love and everybody wants to be closer to free
Yeah, closer to free
Closer to free.
