The third SwiftVets ad [Nice find by Lindy Bill.] By Beldar on SwiftVets The third SwiftVets ad is just Steve Gardner. Some have suggested that it's the least effective of the three so far. I respectfully disagree. Some very large chunk of the American public hasn't been following this controversy at all, but early one meme from the Kerry camp that they likely absorbed was "None of these SwiftVets served on Kerry's boat." This ad is worth running just to decisively debunk that canard. It's not a bases-clearing home run, but it's a solid single through the gap between first and second that at least gets another man on base. "Seared — seared" will be worth a commercial of its own — one with maps and animated graphics of the Vietnam-Cambodia border, hopefully, and some juicy example of the Kerry camp having backpedaled on that particular tale to contrast against the "seared" quote.

you see the Denzel Washington interview with Katie Couric on NBC last Friday morning (13 August 2004)? Not many people are talking about it. They are wishing it would go away and are trying to sweep it under the rug. ******************** Meryl Streep and Denzel were on the today show "live" with Katie Couric to talk about the movie "Manchurian Candidate." At one point Katie asked Denzel, "Have you seen Fahrenheit 9/11?" To which Denzel replied, "No, and I have no intentions of seeing it." Katie and Meryl were "so noticeably" taken aback! It was cool! Then, a discourse (or more accurately, a fight!) began between all three of them with Denzel being barraged with all kinds of anti-Bush, anti-Republican comments, but "the man stood his ground" and soon enraged the women so much that they couldn't get a word in edgewise. Meryl Streep turned blood red and she sat with her legs crossed and her one leg shaking up and down, fuming! Then Katie uttered the words that put the final nail in her coffin, she said to Denzel "you see, that's the problem I have with "you people." She of course did not get to finish her sentence because Denzel pounced on her verbally by responding "YOU PEOPLE! YOU PEOPLE! Just what do you mean you people! Do you mean "You People" as in me as a Christian, or do you mean "You People" as in me as a REPUBLICAN? She then tap danced her way through the next minute of the show. But Denzel went out fighting and declaring that Fahrenheit 9/11 is nothing but propaganda and lies distorted to support a cynical d! emocratic film director's views. There's a celebrity that deserves to wear the uniform in movies and I don't mind at all.
