[The Shrew]

Full disclosure at this late juncture: I have no interest in pursuing the million dollar fool’s errand. John Kerry is a man whose honor wasn’t besmirched as much as his dishonor was revealed. Even if you believe otherwise, I will still recommend Scott Swett’s brand new book, To Set the Record Straight - How Swift Boat Veterans, POWs and the New Media Defeated John Kerry, so you’ll have transcripts of the ads the SwiftVets developed and how they were documented. Everything you need to know about the Swifties’ claims is here with sources cited. Knocking them down or punching holes in them is another matter – that’s your task (for which you’ll be rewarded).

Mr. Swett’s book offers a front row seat to history - a unique insight into how a remarkable group of 254 men bypassed mainstream media and took their message, unfiltered and unapologetic, to American voters. If you’re a rabid partisan in fevered search of the million bucks, chances are, you’ll hold your nose while reading, but like the little girl on Christmas morning, there just has to be a pony somewhere in this pile of manure, right?

Here's a link to the book Mr. Rasmussen mentions.

Talk amongst yourselves!

Great book, Shrew. I have to admit, though, I can only read a chapter or so a week without wanting to go out and throttle the media and all the ‘60’s enablers!
