The worm is turning...



| Reddit | Tumblr | Digg | FARK

Let's summarize today's events:

1) Bush's campaign lawyer resigns because he was working for the Swift Boat group at the same time he was working for Bush/Cheney '04.

2) Bush personally turned veteran Max Cleland away from his ranch. Guess you have to have some oil connections to get on the invite list at Crawford.

3) The Navy provided documents to AP which confirmed Kerry (and everyone who was actually THERE) are in fact correct.

4) And now AP has finally picked up this story: Swift Boat Writer Lied on Cambodia Claim:

"The chief critic of John Kerry's military record told President Nixon in 1971 that he had been in Cambodia in a swift boat during the Vietnam War - a claim at odds with his recent statements that he was not.

"I was in Cambodia, sir. I worked along the border," said John E. O'Neill in a conversation that was taped by the former president's secret recording system. The tape is stored at the National Archives in College Park, Md.

In an interview with The Associated Press on Wednesday, O'Neill did not dispute what he said to Nixon, but insisted he was never actually in Cambodia."

Here's the best part:

"I've never represented on the floor of the Senate, or told people 50 times like John Kerry did that I was in Cambodia. That never happened. And I don't think he was ever there either," O'Neill said."

WHAT? Then he lied to the President. Now THAT'S a guy you can trust!

Makes a day like yesterday, when your own Vice President tries to distance himself from your bigotry, look like an easy day. This has been an AWFUL day for the President. Can't wait for the convention!
