Intelligent Discussion of News, Politics and Current Events

With liberals doing their damndest to make the words "swift boating" into a pejorative, as if it means anything more than "exposing a politician's lies about his military service", the Huffington Post, of all sources, actually does a damn good job of reminding and updating everyone on what the status of that specific controversy was.
The first part is a boring and typically biased attempt to show moral equivalence between Obama refusing to release ANY medical records, versus McCain releasing -thousands- of pages of medical records - but on a Friday evening, which makes it just as bad as not releasing any at all. ![]()
But after that, Thomas Lipscomb does an excellent job going over the whole Kerry/Swift Boat thing one more time, including what's gone on SINCE then, particularly with the $1 million bet that was offered that Kerry couldn't disprove anything said in any SBVT ad.
I thought it was a good read.

P.S. You gotta love the ads on the sides... lashing at Cindy McCain for forgetting to pay $6,000 taxes (total and complete peanuts to her) on a california home that an aunt lives in. As if this even remotely comes close to the Tony Rezko affair, which as far as I know the MSM has utterly ignored.

Interesting article. I either hadn't heard about or don't recall the Pickens bet. As interesting to me is the conduct of the NYT and WaPo.
