That attack about Ted Kennedy and John Kerry was personal. Nobody is going to step back and say it wasn’t. The idea that this guy is going to shoot spitballs in defense of country that he risked his life to defend some years ago is a personal attack on the guy. This is serious business.

Uh, Chris, dude… there’s a lot of folks saying that this wasn’t personal.
