USA: Maureen Dowd in the New York Times provides a nice summary of the Swiftie mess: “Reports in The New York Times and The Washington Post last week made it clear that the vile Swift boaters have told wildly varying accounts, sometimes supportive of Mr. Kerry. The Times revealed that Swift Boat Veterans for Truth - is that like the administration’s Clear Skies Act for spewing pollution? - has a trellis of ties to Karl Rove, the Bush family and Bush supporters…. It makes sense for W. to use surrogates to do his fighting, just as he did when he slid out of Vietnam and just as he did when he sent our troops to fight his administration’s misbegotten vanity war in Iraq.”
Meanwhile, Edwards challenges W. to call off his attack dogs, and William Rood provides more support for Kerry’s story. Where’s W? He’s cowering in Crawford this week before attending next week’s riots, er, the Republican convention in NYC.
