Swift Boat Dog and Pony

Max Cleland just rolled his wheelchair out to condemn Bush, saying the the President was behind the Swift Boat ads, the county is a mess, Iraq's a mess, bash Bush, bash Bush, but that this wasn't a political dog an pony show.

I used to put his wheelchair and honor first, now I have to put him down as simply a politician.

Here's my thoughts on Swift boat -

I hated them, but as more and more of Kerry's bullshit is revealed - his _admitted_ bullshit, by the way, I have to wonder if these guys have done all of us a favor. I mean, let's presume they are lying for a moment. Kerry's reaction to these lies have revealed more about the guy to me than any convention appearance.

I'm not going to get between a bunch of guys from a different generation fighting over their hatreds. I would imagine combat creates lifelong friendships and hatreds, and I leave all that up to the guys involved, and the veterans (all veterans) who could analize the situation better.

But since there appears to be some streatching of facts from the Swift Boat guys, selective memory, and intentional taking of matters out of context to create lies, I have to ask one question - -

Will these ads be nominated for an Acadmy award for "Documentary"?
