Fraters reader Jim Styczinski has an advanced degree in Nick Coleman studies (and the chronic migraines and blurred vision to prove it). He forwards this observation from Nick's latest piece:
Hanging out with World War II veterans for the last week or so seems to be having an effect on Nick Coleman. In yesterday's column, he includes a passage that could be taken as a swipe at John Kerry:
"In the thick of fighting, it was two days before he could stop and examine the wound, which was covered in dried blood. When he was told he'd get a Purple Heart, he rejected the idea.
'Give it to somebody who got hurt,' he growled."
I predict that he will be back to normal in a column or two.
Jim is probably right. Or maybe Nick has gotten fed up with Kerry's recent pro-American defense rhetoric and support for military veterans. Could this be the beginning of a Nick Coleman led splinter group--Vietnam War Protester Veterans Against Kerry? We shall see.
