Dead Man Walkin'
Truth laid bear blog

So yesterday, Kerry slams the Swifties. Result: The media swarms over his comments, as evidenced by the 900-point jump on the Swift Boat Meter.

Today, he's decided to file a FEC complaint against Swift Boat Veterans for Truth and the Bush-Cheney campaign. Result: The Swifties are now the lead story on CNN.com.

How's this all working out for you, John?

And now, the Swifties are striking again -- harder -- with a second ad, which commits the horrible slur of actually letting John Kerry speak for himself. In response, the Kerry campaign released a statement that proves that it is actually possible to sputter impotently in a press release.

I said it before, and I'll say it again: it is over. The head has been cut off the Kerry candidacy; the body just hasn't realized it yet.

Also: You would think, given that Kerry is suddenly excited about following the letter of campaign finance law, that somebody in the mainstream press would ask him why he's got such a miserable compliance rate on his own campaign's contribution disclosure.

I wish someone would muzzle Racicot. This is the time for the RNC to behave like grownups, it will be both right and profitable for them.

My only objection to Racicot is that Kerry has ALWAYS looked wild-eyed to me, except when standing next to the master, Al Gore.

But where did this silly rumor that McCain was EVER stable get started? Are his propagandists still around?...
