] President Bush yesterday repeated his condemnation of ] unregulated money that he said was "pouring" into the ] political process. But he stopped short of denouncing the ] ad by Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, which is being aired ] in three battleground states and is funded largely by ] Republicans. Many media outlets, including MSNBC and the (British) Independent got this wrong. Bush did not specifically condemn that Swift Vet Ad. Once again, he *did* blast 527 group spending. Bush never had any problem with such spending back when Republicans benefited from it (think 2000 in the Florida Recount). Kerry Team Lines Up Vietnam Witnesses (washingtonpost.com) |
