John Kerry

once in a while in GA politics, defending a veteran, of course:

We told you yesterday about state Rep. Scott Holcomb, D-Atlanta, who was the object of a quickly quashed TV attack by Republican Chris Boedeker, who accused his opponent of using illegal drugs while Holcomb was an officer in the U.S. Army.

The Boedeker campaign has pulled the video from YouTube, but the Huffington Post has posted its own copy.

Late last night, Holcomb enlisted former U.S. senator Max Cleland in an effort to embarrass the Georgia GOP into denying its own candidate:

“Scott Holcomb is a veteran who has served this nation and state honorably as a soldier and State Representative. I will not be silent when his impeccable service record is falsely attacked by someone who never served in the military. His opponent is unworthy of public office and the Georgia Republican Party should disavow him.”
