Lawrence O'Donnell gave out the RAT talking points last night: Kerry was doing rope-a-dope with the Swift Vets so he could get it all to this point where now he can bring W's record into this. All part of the master plan. Right.

Now, I've thought about that but it just won't fly. Kerry looks like he's on the ropes and frantically striking back. Bush has commended Kerry on his service. He has asked Kerry to denounce the 527s (I know this isn't reported accurately in the MSM). So a call for Bush's records, after all the yowling they did not to long ago, will only draw more attention to John Kerry and his personal and military failings. He will look like Captain Queeg.

Captain Queeg, indeed.

The amazing thing is that all Kerry had to do was say nothing more about his war record than what was known. He still would have had people looking to kneecap him for what he said when he came back, but now he's got them going after both kneecaps for the fabrications and what he said.

Maybe the real rope-a-dope is not W's record, but simply making this into a Hitlery-type victim of the VRWC routine to keep people off Kerry's record. While this is going on, not very much is being said otherwise, or it's getting lost such as the flip flop on troops coming home and his continued support of the Iraq War after he said it was a mistake.

In the meantime, I'm curious to see what else they throw at the Swifties. Unlike the usual puddle the floor Republican routine, these guys are not only standing their ground, they're taking more each day.
