Bush, 527s, Swift boats and flip-flops

Bush is such a dick. The "liberal media" should be all over this Swift Boat, 527 stuff like stink on shit (and you know they would be if it was a dem in Bush's shoes). First, his campaign chair has to resign because he appeared in the ad, and now we hear that a Bush campaign lawyer advised the swift boat vets.

We all know by now that Bush won't denounce those so-called "independent issue ads" from the Swift Boat Vets for "truth" and yesterday said that they were "bad for the system." He's such a son-of-a-bitch.

This is what he said when he signed H.R. 2356, the "Bipartisan Campaign Reform Act of 2002."
I also have reservations about the constitutionality of the broad ban on issue advertising, which restrains the speech of a wide variety of groups on issues of public import in the months closest to an election. I expect that the courts will resolve these legitimate legal questions as appropriate under the law.
