Imagine if you are John Kerry. Your senior advisors told you there was nothing to worry about and that your pals in the press would bury the Swiftees. I think John Kerry could have Edwards sue them for malpractice. What is even more staggering is that Kerry seems to have been blindsided by these guys. He thought he would just waltz through the campaign.

When the first SBV ads ran, Kerry's media consultants talked to their contacts at ABCNNBCBSNYTLATWP. The big boss editors all replied, "Don't worry, this story will never see the light of day." Kerry believed them.

Poor old media dinosaurs, looking up at that fiery new media comet, with all the understanding of a cow staring at a passing train.
