Lawyer Advising Vets Quits Bush Campaign: "An election lawyer for President Bush who also has been advising a veterans group running TV ads against Democrat John Kerry resigned Wednesday from Bush's campaign.
"I feel I cannot let that continue, so I have decided to resign as national counsel to your campaign to ensure that the giving of legal advice to decorated military veterans, which was entirely within the boundaries of the law, doesn't distract from the real issues upon which you and the country should be focusing."
... Ginsberg's acknowledgment Tuesday evening that he was providing legal advice to the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth marked the second time in days that a person associated with the Bush-Cheney campaign had been connected to the group, which Kerry accuses of being a front for the Republican incumbent's re-election effort.
The Bush campaign and the veterans' group have said repeatedly that there is no coordination."
Remember that Bush's spokesmen have been saying there was no connection between the Bush campaign and the Swift Boat Partisans--and accusing Kerry of making misleading statements. Turns our there were lots of links. So who was lying? And who was trying to decieve. Well, Bush. He comes out and says that ad should stop. After it had stopped. He doesn't say the ad was untrue. And now there's a new ad. I guess we'll have to wait for that one to run its course, take the heat off Bush and his "record" of disasters and abominations. And then he'll come out and say, "that ad should stop."
That's our decisive, war president at work.
