JOHN KERRY UNNERVED
The Swifties must be causing Kerry more pain than I would have thought. Kerry keeps asking the White House and step in and denounce these guys. I didn't hear Bush whining to Kerry about Moveon.org. Kerry shouldn't need the White House to fight his battle if he has the truth on his side.
You wouldn't know that such a group existed if you read the New York Times until today when they did a front page story trying to discredit them. The big ammunition seems to be vague and indirect ties to the Bush family. Maybe the Times has forgotten that John O'Neill has been a Kerry critic for 30 years. The Times uses the guilty by association technique all through the article. As if mere funding made something untrue. Buried at the end of the article is the controversy of whether Kerry was in Cambodia during Christmas. Although Kerry has changed his story a number of times on this point, you get the impression from the Times that he's being put upon.
Kerry's problem is that he's used his war experience for years to win certain political points. It seems now that he embellished in parts and doesn't have the strength to set the record straight. Until he comes clean about the exaggerations it's going to be hard to believe the true parts.
UPDATE: After reading the Times this morning, Kerry files action with the FEC. That's the closest thing to believing your own press without technically doing so.
