Somebody better tell GW to just keep his trap shut and let this thing play out. The last thing Bush should be doing is condemning the Swifties via the 527s which he helped create and "honoring" Kerry's military "service".

For, if it can be shown that Kerry willfully manipulated his service record, how would if make GW look if he continues to dignify a provable phony record? Would it not make him look somehow complicit and therefore implicated if not stupid.

I don't believe Bush has said anything negative about the Swift Boats specifically. He has simply condemned the 527's -- in the sense that they need to be held to the same rules as everyone else, i.e. open records re contributors and the $2000 limit.

He has made bland comments regarding respecting Kerry's record, but that's to be expected.
