Maybe it was from the jarring of the waves on his knee on his his boat (scroll down a little) or here . Or maybe it was from his Senate intramural football training.

He was down on his knees a lot during the campaign begging Teresa to stop talking to the press.

Two possibilities:
1) Chasing heiresses for several decades exacts a terrible toll.
or
2) Service connected wound from racing exploding rice. Fourth Purple Heart is to be awarded. Update of records will result in indefinite delay in signing Form 180.

Do I detect the odor of a moonbat trolling in this thread?

I heard it was the Secret Service agent's fault.

And how about the wind surfing? Are we to believe this played no part in Kerry's damaged knee?

This is a perfect example of what Princeton University Philosophy Professor Harry Frankfurt refers to as "Bullshit" in his highly respect book On Bullshit. http://screenshotblog.blogspot.com/2005/03/on-bullshit.html
And we in Massachusetts that have known him for 25 years, Republican and Democrat alike, have known it all along.
Mendacity. It's certainly an equal opportunity vice, but it did not evade John Kerry by a long shot.

The Marathon thing just gets me laughing every time. As it did every time last year whenever Kerry made his bombastic misrepresentations as to his running prowess and, um, marathon experience.
He really, really NEEDED to write his own reports about his "combat" service because, otherwise, someone actually deserving of them might have taken all the limelight.
P.S.: anyone who HAS run "years of Marathon" activity knows that he would not have, could not have, had he/she had torn knee cartilege. Maybe around the house, up and down the street, but not plural Marathons. Kerry's very problem is a surefire indication that he's again being bombastic, or at least his spokesperson is.

Suzi, you're being too kind. It's not bombast. It's prevarication.

He not only ran the marathon, he kept going all the way to Cambodia, where he dropped off guns to the Khmer Rouge and picked up a CIA agent.
He still carries the lucky jockstrap the CIA agent gave him.

Remeber Rosie Ruiz, who fraudulently claimed to have run and won the entire Boston Marathon about 1980?
Maybe that was kerry in drag. After all, he did have 3 purple hearts.

More likely its anterior cruciate ligament damage due to sidestepping the issues all his career.
