Swift Boat and Bush Connection

This just in from Reuters:

"A Vietnam veteran who worked with President Bush's campaign has left over his appearance in a commercial by a group challenging Democratic candidate John Kerry's war record, a campaign spokesman said on Saturday.

"Bush campaign spokesman Steve Schmidt said Ken Cordier was a Bush supporter during the 2000 election and served as a member of his a steering committee to help reach out to veterans during this election.

"'Col. Cordier did not inform the campaign of his involvement in the advertisement being run by (Swift Boat Veterans for Truth),' Schmidt said. "Because of his involvement with this 527 (group), Col. Cordier will no longer participate" in the steering committee.

"The disclosure of Cordier's involvement came one day after White House spokesman Scott McClellan and Bush campaign chairman Marc Racicot denied the campaign coordinated with the group on the ads, which claim that Kerry lied about his Vietnam War service."

If there is any justice in the world all these guys, and all their supporters will really live to regret what they have tried to do with these disgusting and untruthful ads.
We should also remember, when this is all over, that Rupert Murdoch and all his lackeys, including the deeply hated Faux News Channel, were salivating at every turn with this story. And they weren't very good at hiding it either. Right, Brit Hume?
