Kerry and the Burden of Proof

OK, Kerry has claimed that foreign leaders want him to be our next President, but he refuses to name names, or provide any evidence that what he says is true.

And the left says "Bravo! Well done!" While examination of Kerry's travel logs over the last 18 months or so show no chances of face to face meetings with any foreign leaders, giving rise to questions about the accuracy of Kerry's claims, there's no physical evidence that he didn't meet with these unknown clandestine potentates.

But that's good enough, right? If we have no proof of a lie, we have to assume that he's telling the truth.

Too bad it doesn't go both ways. Remember Bush and the whole AWOL flap? No, repeat NO evidence that he was AWOL, piles of evidence, including an honorable discharge, pay stubs, and a complete service record, that shows that he wasn't AWOL at any time, yet still, lefties like CalPundit and SKBubba still sound the drum beat.

So, let John Kerry meet the same burden of proof that Bush did. Give us the names, dates, and locations of these so-called endorsements. Provide a clear paper trail that documents your claims, or stand accused of lying to the people. Hell, Dubya produced records from 30 years ago; all I'm asking Kerry to do is go back 18 months.

Surely that isn't too much to ask.
