Reply #9: Braveheart the movie version [View All]

Howard Dean is William Wallace and John Kerry is Robert Bruce.

Of course Mel Gibson's depiction of the Scottish struggle is not historically accurate. Wallace was no more of a warrior than Bruce. Bruce was the one who inflicted a mighty defeat against the English at Bannockburn. His army was smaller and half starved. Maybe Kerry will prove himself to be the real Bruce in the end.
