1. 'Unfit for Command' Author Considers Challenging Kerry in Senate Race

John Kerry's nightmarish challenge by his Swift Boat veterans and their allies may not be over.

NewsMax recently chatted with Jerry Corsi, the co-author with Swiftee John O'Neill of "Unfit for Command" – the runaway New York Times best seller that torpedoed Kerry's presidential campaign.

Attending a conference in the suburbs of Washington recently, Corsi let it be known that he is actively considering a run against Sen. Kerry when his term is up.

Corsi is not a Massachusetts native, but says he has already scouted for property to declare his residence there.

He appeared excited about the challenge. Federal law allows him to declare his candidacy at any time and open up a full fusillade against the Senate's most liberal member.

Corsi thinks his criticisms of Kerry will be well received in the state that elected Republican Mitt Romney. Even Bush fared better in Massachusetts in 2004 against its home state candidate than he did against Gore in 2000.

Corsi also notes that his Italian-Irish ancestry will give him an edge in a state given to ethnic voting. Kerry is neither Irish nor Italian, Corsi notes.

As word has circulated about a possible candidacy, Corsi says he has been flooded with e-mails of support.

Corsi said he has read news reports that Kerry is considering a lawsuit against him, O'Neill and the Swift Boat Vets.

Presumably the suit would be for defamation. The New York Post's Page Six quoted a top aide to Kerry saying the senator would need to file such a suit if he has any prayer of making a presidential bid in 2008. Incredibly, Kerry is said to be considering such a run.

Corsi said he and O'Neill have discussed the possibility of the lawsuit, and both said they might offer to pay Kerry for the FedEx charges to serve them with any court papers.

"Quote me: Bring it on!" Corsi said with a chuckle.

2. What Big Media Won't Report About Guns

Last week Insider Report noted how the gun grabbers of the Democrat and media establishments helped Republicans score historical gains in the last elections.

Now we see that the anti-choice crowd refuses to learn from its mistakes.

The highly publicized shooting deaths of six hunters in Wisconsin by another hunter have caused the expected amount of ranting against the Second Amendment to the U.S. Constitution.

Gun Owners of America, however, is clearing the air.

"Sunday's shooting was very tragic," says GOA Director of Communications Erich Pratt.  "But we must not forget that more than 4,000 people saved their lives using guns on Sunday."

According to none other than the Clinton Justice Department, GOA points out, "Americans use guns in self-defense as many as 4,110 times every day.  This means that guns are used 50 times more to save life than to illegitimately take life."

3. Sandinistas Make Public Rebound in Nicaragua

The United States is frantic over the latest sign of the growing communist threat in Latin America, this time in Nicaragua.

Remember Daniel Ortega's Sandinistas, the violent Marxists who sought to end democracy in Nicaragua? They're back.

The Sandinista Front won 87 of Nicaragua's 152 mayoral posts in elections this month. Ortega is hoping to ride the leftward tide and capture the presidency in 2006.

According to the Maldon Report, the presence of numerous factions within the reigning Liberal Party increased support for the Sandinistas.

Ortega views his party's win as "revolution without guns or bloodshed." So far, at least.

"At a time when the United States is fending off a growing chorus of leftist criticism in the region, Bush administration officials worry the victories will boost Ortega's chances of winning back the presidency he lost when Nicaraguans voted him out in 1990 after a decade of socialist rule and war against the U.S.-backed contras," the Chicago Tribune reported.

The other worry is that when the Sandinistas turned over power, they never did so completely. The Nicaraguan army and police have remained in the hands of Sandinista ideologues.

Imagine the outrage had South African whites turned over the civil government to a majority government – but kept control of the police and army.

But now the Sandinistas are no longer content with their hidden power. Even the left-wing State Department is worried and sent Latin America specialist Dan Fisk to Managua to urge conservative leaders to unite or risk letting Ortega take control.

President Bush has cause for concern. Just last month a U.S. ally, Uruguay, elected a left-wing government. to join a growing radical bloc in the Western Hemisphere: Cuba, Venezuela, Brazil, Chile, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador …

Teddy Roosevelt must be turning over in his grave.

4. Brokaw: No Nudes Is Good News

We realize that the following item is absurd, but we present it as evidence of Big Media's bizarre notion that it itself is newsworthy, even when doing things of no news value whatsoever.

Without further ado, then, here's the skinny on Tom Brokaw's skinny-dipping.

The New York Times reported that Brokaw "has been known" to swim naked in a pond near his home in suburban New York.

Then the New York Post reported that the retiring anchorman was "steamed" about the report and "wanted a correction, but how do you go about getting a correction on skinny-dipping?"

Then Brokaw's spokesman told USA Today: "Tom swims in lakes, even in the winter, but does not skinny-dip."

Then the spokesman issued a correction: "Tom swims in lakes, even in winter, occasionally in a bathing suit."

Brokaw was said to have said the idea of his wife skinny-dipping was hilarious.

Hmmmm. We think "Saturday Night Live" would have a field day with Tom alone au naturel.
