Three years after losing an election that should have been his, John Kerry has decided to refute the “Swift Boat” allegations and to make T. Boone Pickens, one of the funders of the smear campaign, pay for it personally. Here’s the full story.

My question is the obvious one: With a response time like this, how did Kerry ever win a Senate seat?

And yes, I spent a weekend in Arizona in 2004 with Democratic activists as well as my son Lex campaigning door-to-door for Kerry. He lost there, too. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s now considering doing some door-knocking there this Sunday.

I hope he proves his case to Pickens, but I’m not holding out much hope. It’s hard to convince anyone of anything they don’t want to believe; it’s got to be even harder with rich Republican activists from Texas.
