Drudge doesn't say Convention bio uses reenacted film
Drudge doesn't say Convention bio uses reenacted film - indeed he quotes no one that has seen the film.

All we know is that Director James Moll is producing the Convention bio and - PER DRUDGE - Moll "was given hours of Kerry's homemade 8 millimeter film to incorporate into the convention short."

So GOP/Drudge are tonight pushing the Right Wing Regnery publishing house PR note that they have "a naval officer" in a book to be written/published by our non-total-truth telling John O'Neill that says Kerry reenacted scenes while in 'Nam to record on his 8 mm - but no name - indeed no book as yet!.

NOT ONE OF THE SWIFT BOAT FOLKS ON THE BOSTON HARBOR TODAY WITH KERRY AND ENDORSING HIM - 12 of the 15 he served with - CONFIRM ANYTHING IN THE UNPUBLISHED BOOK! YOU'D THINK A REPORTER WOULD ASK THEM NOW - WOULDN'T YOU?

Drudge knows nothing about the actual Convention bio film!

Why am I not surprised?

Seems there is a GOP fear of the 8 mm - fits the chicken-hawk profile to be afraid of 8mm - and 9 mm - and anything that goes bang.

2. See where Drudge swiped a photo from Tom Tomorrow?
Drudge swiped a photo "Tom" took at the convention of Michael Moore and O'Leilly talking in the street. Not only did he swipe it uncredited, he went to the trouble of flopping it and retouching some minor details trying to disguise that he stole it.

For details:

3. I thought you did the cut and paste with one word change in High School
and not as a career!

And even in High School you gave credit to the source!

LOL!!!

4. Interesting links in LBN
On story there somebody linked to about three R-W rag articles from early in the year making the same silly charge.
