Snope a Dope
Methinks this Snopes entry on John Kerry’s service in Vietnam could stand a leetle updating.
UPDATE: Make that a lot.
UPDATE x2: This entry is much more recent, but not much better. Between this, their hatchet job on Annie Jacobsen and their curious spinning of Al Gore’s infamous claim to have invented created the Internet, I’m beginning to think the Mikkelsons may have jumped the snope.
UPDATE x3: The Vodka Pundit uncovers more two more examples of this site shilling … or should I say, “snoping” …. for Kerry. Yes, they have definitely jumped the snope.

To give Snopes the benefit of the doubt, it was last updated in Feb. Email her and see if she will do it, then when it is not updated (my prediction) THEN crucify her as the left-wing biased hack that she is.

Good idea, done. Note, however, that she also has a more recent entry which does deal with the Swift Boat Vets, but spins the whole thing about as hard for Kerry as possible. And then there’s the page purporting to debunk the “myth” that Al Gore falsely claimed to have invented the Internet, when in fact he falsely claimed to have created it.
