That's one reason I really don't care about Dan Rather's memo or John Kerry's swift boat career. The media hasn't instructed me about how important they must be in the campaign.

You have to keep in mind that these are important in the campaign because John Kerry chose to make them important. He has refused to run on his 20 year Senate record, instead preferring to run on his 4 months in a combat zone, 30 years ago. No, it isn't a very good basis for making a decision.

But once he made that decision, you can't blame the Swifties, who had an anti-Kerry agenda, for exploiting it. And you can't blame Bush for capitalizing on it, either -- Kerry is running from his Senate record, Bush saw an opening.

It is politics. Nobody said it is a rational basis for electing a president.
