This does not make me more comfortable with the fourth estate. At least, I can think the Boston Herald is a bunch of idiots, but sadly, some guy on the Atlantic thought necessary to write a story about that. Because the guy knows enough to know it is crap, contrarily to the guys at the Herald, he explains what happened but somehow decides to blame Kerry for that (apparently, water sports are still a sport that he should not practice, though I do not know any other politician who is blamed for that). Absolutely stupid article, irritating because this is the Atlantic, not the Herald or the NYDailyNews, and the guy knows how stupid this is.
