SwiftYachting = really hilarious but should we really be associating the reasonable questions about Rmoney's Bain record with the blatant lies told about Kerry that came to be known as "swiftboating"? It might give the impression that we're engaging in the same despicable tactics that Repugs use and we should be better than that.

John Kerry, of course, actually commanded a swift boat in hostile territory, while Willard Romney was getting missionary deferments to preach a Non-Drinking religion to the French.
