Watch Fred Barnes on Fox when he's in the panel discussion. Everytime the Swiftvets comes up, he takes their side -- but, he's very careful not to rant and look like a partisan idiot. He puts Swiftvets points on the table and lets the NPR panel folks look like idiots as they shill impossible and improbable thoeries, then start dissembling language.
Give Fred credit, I believe he is playing it masterfully. The Swiftvets have sunk Kerry's dingy, and he doesn't pound the table --- but, nor does he let it completely go away.
O'Neill has been one cool customer. He never rants, answers questions crisply, and keeps his temper in check when the Car-Viles, Bugallas, and Matthewses get in his face.
And now I can't find Kitty Litter Kelley on Today's programs (TV WebGuide) for next week. No mention.
O what a beautiful morning, O what a beautiful day!
I agree with you totally about Fred. He's played this masterfully. Let the Swifties do their thing. They have enough evidence to sink Kerry ten times over, but why get into a partisan battle that defuses the issue? Fred is smarter than that.
