BUSH ADMITS TO SMEAR

That is basically what happened today folks.

Patterson admits that Bush/Cheney wrote the letter. Admits Bob Perry is a major contributor and that he is speaking for Bush. The letter supports the 527s and supports the vets "speaking out". The letter makes the SAME ACCUSATIONS IN THE SWIFT VETS ADS.

Hello media? Bush just admitted he is behind it.

The media just can't seem to get nuance. Although in this particular instance it seems very black and white to me. I am just blown away every day how the media distorts and blatantly avoids their responsibility to report the truth.

Don't know why I continue to be surprised though-

Hope you blastfax it to all the usual suspects.

where am i?

So far I've only managed to catch a few excerpts on the cable news shows.

Bush says all Veterans have a right to be heard and Kerry should answer their questions, if I understand it correctly.

Hopefully we'll see replays of Max Cleland in the wheelchair being turned away. A lot of people I know saw that today and couldn't believe what a chickenshit Bunnypants is not to send at least a senior staffer there, not some local dog catcher.

The impression now is that Boy Blunder is a gutless, out-of-touch dunce...that impression had always been there, it's stuff like this and the other goofs of this campaign that are now solidifying that impression. It's the reverse effect of what happened to Gore in 2000. Rove hasn't been able to paint Kerry as "liar" or "wooden"...while his boy is seen as "stupid" and "chickenshit" by millions.

The last few days have been the most devestating to the Rove machine in any campaign. They're in full damage control mode 24/7 now and they're stuck with a shrinking core of fundies, winguts and P-Nacers.

Dee Dee Meyers has a great column about this on Hardblogger...well worth the read.
