a phony controversy

Well, whaddya know, I actually agree with John Kerry. This whole "Medal Controversy"? As he said on GMA, "this is a phony controversy. "

It's stupid, stupid, stooooopid. Drop it, GOP. It's a non-issue. NOone is gonna base their vote on this thing.

Sure, it shows him to be a liar and a waffler--there are other ways to show this--ways that involve actual issues.
