It's an interesting story.

PS - I thought the general consensus was that the Swift Boat Vets were a bunch of political stooges? Just the same as the Democrat funded (or inspired) stooges who fabricated stories about Bush's war record and "draft dodging"...

Oh nothing you did was ironic
The Dems are very quick to blame the Swfit Boat vets for part of why Kerry lost. Fueling that was the fact that Kerry, despite claims otherwise, would not release his full record. As such it looked like he had something to hide. How much if any support Kerry lost due to the Swift Boat vets I have no clue, and while some may claim it was a major factor, some still think that 'moral issues' are why Kerry lost too so perception doesn't mean reality. I just think it would be quite funny if the reason the Swift Boat vets couldn't be silenced, which was Kerry not releasing his records, was not due to the Swift vet claims BUT because Kerry didn't want you to see his grades from Yale. At the time the 'general consensus' was that Kerry did better in school than Bush, but just because a majority of people believe something, it doesn't make it true.
