I heard they smoked crack together at Camp David.

This guy writes for The Onion or Scrappleface in his spare time, right? Or is the humor too subtle for me?

Deduct points for not mentioning Skull and Bones.

What the heck? Is this a satirical column? Are the swifties actually running such an ad? I can't imagine it.

Just when you thought the MSM could sink any lower in avoiding their responsibility to objectively report the news they make a statement like: "Just when you thought the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth couldn't come up with anything nastier in their bid to smear Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry".

No, the Swiftees are not running such an ad. This is supposed to be funny, while making the point that Bush was "AWOL"...which he wasn't, but nevermind the facts.

The saddest part is that there are KerNUCKS that will believe it.

OK. Not funny. Poor satire. I'm pretty good at recognizing satire and this one is bad.

Oh, this is suppose to be a joke. Excuse me, just from reading the first sentence I thought it was another installment from the Propoganda Ministry.

February, 1973, when John Kerry was discharged.

I thought Kerry wasn't discharged until 1978? Stupid reporter?

Seems like every day I see another poll from a Canadian paper where Kerry has a huge advantage. LOL
Attention Canada: We don't care what you think. It's not your election to decide. MYOB!!

I can't believe that this is the subject of a new ad by the Swift Boat Veterans. Doesn't this ad seem to equally caste George W. Bush in a bad light. The net result in the long run would be to make both Kerry and Bush look bad thereby gaining no positive result of diminishing Kerry on a relative basis in the election. In fact, it looks a bit as though one is stretching the case in order to oppose Kerry here, which could also backfire. There is much more damaging strong evidence against Kerry, such as meeting with the North Vietnamese in Paris.

This is a bit surreal. By diminishing Bush here also, there may be no net gain against Kerry and perhaps even a loss. Maybe I just woke up too late on a holiday, and I'm not thinking straight.

I heard Kerry was drinking with Teddy down by the Dike Bridge comparing lies, um, fishing stories.

I agree. It sucks.

(But hearing liberals carry on about the military is always good for a laugh, on some level.)

And that Kerry might have been AWOL. Do you really think he showed up for all of his mandatory visits as a reservist while he was active in VVAW?
