If you haven't seen it yet, check out Sid's Fishbowl

He's doing a year by year comparison of Bush and Kerry.  

One very interesting entry details yet another instance where John Kerry saved someone's life:

From 1988

Republican Senator Jacob "Chic" Hecht from Nevada rushed out of a GOP Conference luncheon gasping for air because he was choking on a slice of apple. Kerry happened to walk off a nearby elevator and hurriedly performed the Heimlich maneuver. "He sized it up in a split second and saved my life," "Every year at Christmas my wife and I call John Kerry and thank him for saving my life," -- Jacob Hecht

Read the whole thing.  It's really an interesting side-by-side comparison.  Can you guess what Bush was doing then????
