Where was John Kerry?

You have to love great satire:

A new Republican-financed negative ad is accusing Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry of fleeing to Vietnam to avoid serving in the Alabama National Guard.

The ad, airing in most of the so-called battleground states, attempts to contrast Sen. Kerry’s alleged guard-dodging with the storied Alabama National Guard heroism of the Republican nominee, President George W. Bush.

In the ad, a narrator asks, “When the Alabama National Guard called young Americans to serve, where was John Kerry? Thousands of miles away, in Vietnam.”

The commercial ends with a black-and-white freeze-frame of Mr. Kerry, over which the narrator asks, “John Kerry. reporting for duty?”

Priceless. Link from Barney.
