Wash. Times updates Curl article, edits out reference to "taste of the seaman"

UPDATED VERSION:

But on Thursday, the captain was among comrades -- Mr. Kerry is an old Navy man, as is ranking committee Republican, Sen. Richard G. Lugar, who served from 1956 to 1960. Mr. Kerry, who captained a Swift boat in Vietnam during the war, clearly enjoyed talking to a fellow seafarer.

      Is the times looking to MSNBC's hil-AIR-ious teabagging jokes for inspiration?

      Actually, despite the odious obsession with making John Kerry look bad, was pretty childishly funny.

      I'm willing to bet that Joe Curl never spent a day in the military. Contrast that with John Kerry receiving a Silver Star, a Bronze Star with a "V" for valor and three Purple Hearts.

      John Kerry also dated the likes of Morgan Fairchild, Michelle Phillips, Catherine Oxenberg and Dana Delany.

      So, of course, it's John Kerry's manhood and sexuality that's questioned by this hack.
