Kerry files FEC complaint about Bush Swift Boat surrogates

Kerry filed an FEC complaint today alleging that the Swift Boat Veterans are coordinating their attacks on Kerry with the Bush campaign, which would be illegal. The Bush campaign responded, bizzarely, by trying to slur Kerry as "wild eyed" and "losing it." The Reuters piece makes clear that this is the same kind of attack the Bushies launched on John McCain 4 years ago, claiming that he was "unstable."

Good for Kerry, standing up against the Bush slime machine. If Bush wants to talk about the past, let's talk about the past. Let's talk about Bush's alcoholism, the video in which Bush appears drunk years after he claims he stopped drinking, let's talk about Bush's alleged cocaine use, his missing duty during Vietnam, his drunk driving arrest, and his telling Salon.com during the 1988 convention that he and his dad talk about "pussy" a lot. Let's talk about the 7 minutes that our commander in chief just sat there, reading a children's book, while our nation was under attack. Let's talk about the 3 hours our president went missing on September 11 while the rest of us wondered if our country even had a leader anymore.

If Bush wants to talk about who is and isn't presidential material, I say bring it on.
