'Do You Come Here Often? I Served in Vietnam.'

[Ubiquitous]

The Boston Herald reports on the seduction secrets of the haughty,
French-looking former junior senator from Massachusetts, who by the way served
in Vietnam:

It's been more than 20 years, but "Desperate Housewives"
star Dana Delany still won't spill about her date with
Sen. John Kerry - a night so strange it could have happened
on Wisteria Lane!

"Oh, it's ancient history," Dana demurred yesterday when we
again tried to get her to give it up. "And it wasn't really
a bad date--it was just a good story."

The Phillips Andover alum met Kerry, then a bachelor, at a
veterans event in D.C. when she was starring in the Vietnam-themed
TV drama "China Beach."

The senator invited her to dinner then back to his apartment to
see his "war films." (Why, oh why, did Kerry bring a video camera
to war, Dana wondered . . .) Apres screening, the senator attempted
to, shall we say, storm "China Beach."

Now we know why Kerry hates the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth so much. After
"Unfit for Command," his war-films routine must've gotten him laughed out of
many a singles bar.

well. If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."
