Where Were You In '68?

Mickey Kaus has made much of the story of one (of ten) of Sen. Kerry's men in Vietnam who didn't like his C.O. The man, Joseph Gardner, is a Republican, like Kaus himself, although his hatred of Kerry is mild in comparison to Mick's.

But since Kaus holds that this is an important test of character, perhaps we should hold the wee hack to the same standard. Kaus was in college at the same time Kerry was in Vietnam, so any tales of Kaus's leadership will only involve the leadership of the Beverly Hills Young Republicans.

If any Kaus's roommates, fellow YAFers or stalking victims have any tales to tell about the 1968-1969 model Kaus, please send them to us at rogerailes@fastmail.fm. Because character counts.

Only verifiable stories, please; no Cornerish "and then John Kerry ate the last slice of pizza, my cousin said" fables. (Pictures would be funny too!) And feel free to use obscenities without the dashes.
