Swift Boat Veterans for Sale
Score another one for Big Money: The Billionaire-financed Swift Boat Veterans for Truth is starting to cause some serious headaches for the Kerry campaign. And our friend W. seems to like the group so much that one of his personal advisors recently appeared in their attack ad.

The Swift Boaters, as we all know, are primarily bankrolled by Republican home builder (and maxed-out Bush donor) Bob Perry of Texas, who has given over 200 grand to Republican candidates since 1999. They came together, in part, from the work of a private detective hired to dig up dirt on Kerry's military service. Perry's success reminds us that when wielding power from behind closed doors just isn't enough, we can always slap together a ragtag bunch of lovable blue-collar Joes to push our agenda to the masses. It's just like having your own boy band!

Emboldened by all the free press from the so-called liberal media, the SBVT's (who "served with" John Kerry in the same way that Donald Trump "lives with" the homeboys in Harlem) are launching a new offensive, challenging Kerry's criticism of the war in Vietnam after his tour of duty. Serves him right. Like our good friend George W., Kerry should have followed the traditional Billionaire approach to war: quietly applaud it from afar, and leave the combat duty to those socially beneath him.
